The 2016 Ford Explorer isn't as versatile or roomy as some other large, three-row crossover SUVs, but it is still a respectable pick in this class thanks to its convenience features, improved safety and driver aids and comfortable highway ride.

Pros

Abundant high-tech features; comparatively generous cargo space behind the third row; strong turbocharged V6 engine; quiet highway ride.

Cons

Feels bigger than it is behind the wheel; limited second-row space for child seats; third-row legroom can be tight.

What's New for 2016

For 2016, the Ford Explorer receives a variety of changes and updates. These include refreshed exterior styling, minor interior revisions, updated safety features, revised suspension tuning and a new top-end trim level (the Platinum). There's also a new engine option, a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder that replaces the previous, less powerful 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. The old four-cylinder couldn't be paired with all-wheel drive, but the 2.3 can be.
