2023 Ford Explorer Hybrid Review

Performance, MPG, & Towing… Oh My!

To start, let's take a peek under the hood of the 2023 Ford Explorer Hybrid and see what propels this piece of machinery. You'll be impressed to find out the Explorer Hybrid generates 318 horsepower and 322 lb-ft of torque with its 3.3L Hybrid engine that's mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. This is especially noteworthy considering the excellent fuel economy the Explorer Hybrid gets: an EPA-estimated 27 city/28 highway MPG.

In terms of towing, you'll be blown away by what the 2023 Explorer Hybrid can accomplish. With the Class IV Trailer Tow Package, this capable ride can tow up to 5,000 pounds!

An additional perk of the Explorer Hybrid is its regenerative braking system. In traditional cars, when the brakes are engaged, friction causes kinetic energy to be lost. However, regenerative braking recuperates over 90% of the energy and sends it back to the battery for the future.

Loaded With Creature Comforts & Tech

You spend a lot of time behind the wheel, so naturally you'd like your vehicle to come with as many amenities as possible. The 2023 Explorer Hybrid Limited trim more than delivers with a slew of standard comfort and convenience features, some of which include:

• Leather-trimmed seats with micro-perforated inserts
• Tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control
• Multi-color ambient lighting
• Integrated key fob

You'll also get optional features such as the twin-panel moonroof and a safe deposit - console vault.

Another key aspect of comfort during your commutes is entertainment and the ability to listen to your preferred music, podcasts, and audiobooks while still keeping your eyes completely focused on the road. The 2023 Ford Explorer Hybrid knows the importance of staying entertained on your drives and offers features like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, HD Radio, and a voice-activated touchscreen navigation system.

Driver-Assist Systems for the Win

The safety of you and your passengers is paramount, and that's why the 2023 Explorer Hybrid makes driver-assist features a priority. On the 2023 Explorer Hybrid Limited trim, you'll find numerous comprehensive safety systems that work to help keep you and everyone on board safe. The following are two we'd like to highlight:

• Lane-Keeping System: Stay in your lane-literally. This technology will let you know if you're beginning to drift out of your lane.
• Rear View Camera: Back up with confidence using this feature. It gives you a clear view of what's behind the car so you can reverse with ease.

These systems and others add to your overall driving experience, giving you optimal peace of mind.
