      2027 Ford Explorer Platinum: Refined Luxury Meets Everyday Capability

      The 2027 Ford Explorer Platinum reimagines what a modern three-row luxury SUV can be, delivering a sophisticated blend of executive comfort and dynamic performance. Dressed in a striking Star White Metallic Tri-Coat exterior with a contrasting black painted roof, this flagship SUV makes a commanding impression wherever the road leads. Inside, the Salt Crystal and Onyx leather interior surrounds you with high-end craftsmanship and serene quietness, creating a true sanctuary on wheels. Drivers seeking premium refinement for daily commutes through Champaign will appreciate the active noise cancellation and meticulous attention to detail. Take a moment to explore our new Explorer models or browse our complete lineup of new vehicles to find the ideal match for your driving style.

      Refined Power and Confident Performance

      Under the hood, the 2027 Ford Explorer Platinum is powered by an EcoBoost 2.3L I-4 direct injection engine featuring intercooled turbocharging and variable valve control. Delivering a responsive 300HP, this powertrain is paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. Intelligent Four Wheel Drive operates seamlessly to provide maximum traction across changing road conditions, backed by Selectable Terrain Modes and Hill Descent Control. Despite its capable posture and standard Class III towing equipment with trailer sway control, this SUV remains remarkably efficient, yielding an EPA-estimated 20 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway. Independent strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension ensure precise handling and a plush ride quality over any surface. Feel free to browse our new inventory online to compare available trims and performance options.

      Cutting-Edge Technology and Connectivity

      Step into a futuristic cockpit designed around intuitive controls and high-definition visual displays. A massive 13.2-inch primary touchscreen host controls for the integrated navigation system with voice activation, while a 12.3-inch configurable digital cluster keeps key driver information directly in your line of sight. Audiophiles will marvel at the Bang & Olufsen sound system, which features 14 strategically placed speakers and a 980-watt regular amplifier for exceptional clarity. With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, 8 USB ports across all three rows, and a 360-degree camera system for tight parking maneuvers, staying connected and confident has never been easier. Drivers can also leverage modern convenience with FordPass connected services for remote functionality right from a smartphone.

        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.…
