      2027 Ford Explorer ST-Line: Bold Athletic Style Meets Premium Versatility

      The 2027 Ford Explorer ST-Line delivers an ideal balance of aggressive styling, interior luxury, and daily multi-passenger utility. Finished in striking Carbonized Gray Metallic, this midsize SUV commands attention with its blacked-out exterior accents, body-colored bumpers, and prominent front grille. Inside, the Onyx cabin features ActiveX cloth and leatherette front seat upholstery designed for long-lasting comfort and easy maintenance. With seating for up to six passengers across three spacious rows, this vehicle accommodates growing families, weekend road trips, and everyday errands with equal ease. Whether navigating routine daily drives through Champaign or packing up for an extended highway adventure, the Explorer ST-Line keeps everyone comfortable and secure. Take a moment to explore our Ford Explorer selection and see why this dynamic SUV continues to set the benchmark for versatility.

      Performance & Capability

      Under the hood, the 2027 Ford Explorer ST-Line features an advanced EcoBoost 2.3L I-4 direct injection, DOHC, variable valve control, intercooled turbo, premium gasoline, engine with 300HP paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. Equipped with Intelligent Four Wheel Drive and Selectable Terrain Modes, this SUV seamlessly adjusts power distribution to maintain stability across rain, snow, or loose gravel. An efficient auto stop-start engine system helps optimize fuel consumption, achieving an EPA-estimated 20 city and 27 hwy MPG. The standard Class III Towing Equipment with trailer sway control adds significant utility, allowing you to tow recreational gear or small trailers with confidence. Behind the scenes, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, an independent strut front suspension, and a multi-link rear suspension deliver a refined, controlled ride. Sturdy 20 x 8-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents and all-season tires round out a capable powertrain built to handle both paved highways and rugged backroads.

        Love it.

        by Alex on 8/9/2026 11:55:02 PM

        Single guy looking for a vehicle that is fun to drive but can haul junk too, and this fits the bill. I came from a 2018 Lincoln MKZ 3.0t AWD, this has all the same features but this does it better. Mine had one minor panel issue the dealership is fixing, but otherwise everything is solid. Installed a BOV, I find it funny to blow past people with a quiet exhaust and a loud Spanish sound as they disappear into the distance. Fantastic nighttime viability over the lower trims. Actually just better over all than the lower trims. Bolt ons and a tune just puts this in its own league for the price you pay, the only thing that comes close is a 2026 dodge Durango RT 392. ST is not for everyone but it is for me. "Sporty" family hauler my butt. Wrong demographic. This is a genuine fast mid-sized SUZ that you'd have to go luxury to get close to the performance numbers otherwise.…
