Designed for discerning drivers who demand both sophistication and versatile capability, this premium utility vehicle features a striking Vapor Blue Metallic exterior paired with a Salt Crystal and Onyx leather-appointed interior. Whether commuting through daily highway traffic near Champaign with quiet composure or heading out for a long-distance trip, the Explorer Platinum delivers supreme ride comfort, high-end appointments, and advanced driver-assist technology. Its spacious cabin accommodates up to six passengers across three luxurious rows, ensuring every journey feels like a first-class excursion. If you are seeking a high-end vehicle that balances everyday practicality with upscale refinement, you can explore our new Ford Explorer selection today to discover what sets this top-tier trim apart.

Performance & Capability

At the heart of the 2027 Ford Explorer Platinum is a robust EcoBoost 3L V-6 engine equipped with direct injection, twin turbochargers, and variable valve control. Producing an impressive 385HP, this powerful V6 is mated to a seamless 10-speed automatic transmission with driver-selectable modes. Power is delivered through an Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive system, providing all-weather confidence and enhanced traction across rain, snow, or loose gravel. An independent strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension work together with gas-pressurized shock absorbers to absorb road imperfections, maintaining a smooth, quiet cabin ride. Drivers can easily tailor vehicle dynamics using Selectable Terrain Modes and Hill Descent Control. With an EPA-estimated 17 MPG city and 22 MPG highway, this SUV offers robust performance without compromising long-range cruising capability. Integrated Class III towing equipment, complete with a receiver hitch and trailer sway control, makes towing gear or lightweight trailers simple and secure.

Technology & Connectivity

Inside the ultra-quiet cabin, the 2027 Ford Explorer Platinum surrounds occupants with cutting-edge technology designed to simplify every trip. The center dashboard features a brilliant 13.2-inch primary touchscreen display paired with a customizable 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Drivers enjoy seamless control via voice-activated integrated navigation and real-time traffic updates. Smartphone integration is effortless thanks to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, supported by Bluetooth wireless connectivity and eight conveniently located USB ports throughout the cabin. Audio enthusiasm is elevated by a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system powered by a 980W regular amplifier, delivering crystal-clear acoustics. Predictive Speed Assist and speed limit displays keep you informed, while a 360-degree aerial view camera system makes tight parking spaces easy to navigate.
