The 2025 Ford Explorer ST-Line is a refreshed, stylish 3-row SUV balancing sporty aesthetics with family practicality, often lauded as a high-value baby ST. It features a 300-hp 2.3L EcoBoost engine, a 13.2-inch touchscreen with new software, and aggressive blacked-out styling. The ST-Line is ideal for buyers who want the aggressive, sporty look of the 400-hp ST model but prefer to prioritize fuel economy and lower upfront costs, while still getting a fun-to-drive daily vehicle.
Kelly Blue Book saidWe like the Ford Explorers unapologetic commitment to providing a muscular platform for hard work, superior towing, and enough capability to tackle just about anything you might expect a midsize SUV to do. Roomy, powerful, and comfortable to boot, the 2025 Explorer will blast onto the scene sporting updated styling inside and out, as well as a boatload of new technology.
The major Explorer makeover the rumor mill had pegged for 2024 finally arrived for 2025, and it seems well worth the wait. Ford spruced up the exterior, conveying an even more rugged attitude. Inside, premium materials and softer surfaces elevate the cabins feel. For example, wrap-and-stitch soft-touch surfaces cover the center console, dashboard, and door panels.
