In the market for a new luxury SUV? Check out the Ford Explorer Platinum. From its powerful driving style to its gorgeous interior, this SUV has it all. Check out our four favorite features of the 2020 Ford Explorer Platinum, and learn why Car and Driver says the Platinum’s engine “packs a real punch.”
Luxury Interior
Don’t let the Explorer Platinum’s tough exterior fool you: The interior is packed with luxury that allows drivers and passengers to ride in style and comfort.
The multicontour seats with Active Motion increase blood flow to your back and legs, reducing fatigue. The 10.1-inch LCD touch-screen system located on the center stack has pinch-to-zoom and swipe capabilities, just like your smartphone. The Explorer Platinum’s twin-panel sunroof is the largest ever, offering spectacular views for both the first and second rows. Enjoy the B&O sound system by Bang & Olufsen, which comes standard on the 2020 Explorer Platinum and features 12 980-watt speakers for an incredible listening experience.
Passengers will love the tri-zone electronic temperature control and rear auxiliary climate control, which lets everyone adjust the temperature to their preference. The dual second-row smart-charging USB ports allow passengers to recharge electronic items during long trips. Plus, second-row captain seats with power-assist fold make it easier than ever to access the third row.
Incredible Performance
You will love the incredible driving experience that the Ford Explorer Platinum delivers. The 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift is married to a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine or the available 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine, taking the athletic feel of the Explorer one step further. The EcoBoost engine generates a monster 365 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque.
Features like intelligent four-wheel drive, hill descent control, trailer sway control, and the terrain management system all come standard on the Platinum, and combine to create a unique, pleasurable driving experience on any type of terrain or during inclement weather.
Superior Exterior Styling
The Platinum’s superior exterior styling adds another touch to this unparalleled luxury vehicle. The Platinum is adorned with a body-color liftgate spoiler, front grille with a unique satin-aluminum finish, roof rack side rails in satin aluminum with black end caps, and satin aluminum lower bodyside cladding accent. The 2020 Platinum comes with 20-inch bright machined-face aluminum tires, or you can upgrade to the available 21-inch premium aluminum tires for even more swag.
Rain-sensing wipers do the work for you so you can stay focused on the road.
Advanced Safety Systems
The Explorer Platinum is packed with cutting-edge safety systems that will deliver peace of mind for you and your family. AdvanceTrac with roll stability control helps you maintain control on different road conditions, and the SOS Post-Crash Alert System can automatically activate emergency flashers and the horn when air bags are deployed (and can easily be deactivated with the key fob). The LATCH system allows children to be firmly secured.
