New 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum 4x4 in St. Louis, MO

The 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum stands as a high-value, three-row SUV designed to balance advanced comfort, robust engineering, and modern technology. With its Agate Black Metallic exterior and Mojave Dusk/Onyx leather interior, this model combines luxury with practicality.

This SUV fits families and active professionals seeking an all-purpose vehicle capable of handling St. Louis weather, road trips, and daily errands in comfort. The spacious cabin with third-row bench seating accommodates up to seven passengers, making it suitable for group outings and carpools. Heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and automatic temperature control ensure year-round climate comfort. Smart connectivity through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an advanced navigation system keeps drivers and passengers connected and on track, while the cargo area adapts to grocery runs, sports gear, or luggage for longer getaways.

Driving the Explorer delivers a composed, responsive experience thanks to the 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission, which provide smooth acceleration and adept shifting. The four-wheel independent suspension and speed-sensing steering contribute to a refined ride, whether navigating city streets or highway stretches. Drivers benefit from a confident sense of control, with the 4WD system automatically adjusting for rain, snow, or uneven terrain. This combination of powertrain and chassis design makes it easy to transition from weekday commutes to weekend adventures without compromise.

Safety is prioritized through a comprehensive suite of active and passive systems. The SUV includes ABS brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, and an emergency communication system with 911 Assist, which together support accident avoidance and emergency response. Standard airbags include dual front, dual side, knee, and overhead coverage for all three rows, while the rearview camera and rain-sensing wipers aid visibility in challenging conditions. Auto high-beam headlights and brake assist further enhance safety, adjusting automatically to the environment and improving reaction times in unexpected situations.

Key features of the Platinum trim focus on luxury, convenience, and technology. The cabin boasts Mojave Dusk/Onyx leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, memory seating, and multi-zone climate control for tailor
