Engine and Performance

With three exceptional engine options, the 2023 Explorer offers unprecedented performance to satisfy all driving enthusiasts. The lower models in the lineup are powered by a standard 2.3L turbocharged I-4 engine, a robust yet efficient choice that delivers 300 horsepower. The ST, King Ranch, and Platinum models come standard with a 3.0L V6 engine, which combines direct injection and turbocharging to generate 400 horsepower.

The 3.3L V6 hybrid engine offers an excellent blend of power and sustainability for those seeking an eco-conscious driving solution. Working seamlessly with an electric motor, the hybrid system generates 318 horsepower while still allowing towing up to 5,000 pounds. These capabilities make the hybrid powertrain ideal for weekend getaways and hauling camping equipment.
