The Ford Explorer has long been a top choice for midsize SUVs, and the 2026 model is no exception. Let's take a tour of the cabin to see what makes the Explorer so appealing.
The Explorer can seat up to seven passengers with its three rows of seating. The front seats are available with heating, ventilation, and multicontour Active Motion for ultimate comfort. Captain's chairs are standard in the second row, with the option of a 35/30/35 split-folding bench seat. The third row has a 50/50 split-folding bench that can be manually or power folded into the floor, depending on the trim level.
Seating surfaces range from unique cloth to ActiveX to micro-perforated leather, with eye-catching stitching and trim-specific badges. Tri-zone automatic climate control keeps everyone comfortable.
Behind the third row, the Explorer offers 18.2 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold the third row down, and the cargo capacity expands to 47.9 cubic feet. With the second and third rows folded, there is a cavernous 87.8 cubic feet to fill.
Throughout the cabin, you'll find plenty of places to stash smaller items, including a covered bin in the instrument panel and tiered storage in the doors. A rotary gear shift dial opens up space in the center console.
