The Ford Explorer has led the SUV category for years. Now you can get all the power and performance in a hybrid version. Here’s a look at some of the best features on the 2020 Explorer Limited Hybrid. 
All-New Design
The 2020 Explorer has a whole new look, inside, outside, and under the hood. Sleek new contours give the Explorer a sportier look, while a new mesh grille adds an aggressive style.
The interior redesign is full of extras. The cabin now offers more room to accommodate the kids, your camping gear, and anything else you might find a need to carry. The Explorer Limited was built for an active lifestyle. The Tri-Diamond perforated leather interior delivers comfort and style.
Power
The Ford Explorer Limited Hybrid comes with a 3.3-liter V-6 engine. This hybrid powertrain delivers up to a 500-mile driving range on a single tank when equipped with the Intelligent 4WD system. The Limited is available in Rear-Wheel Drive, but the Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive version optimizes throttle and brakes to deliver power where it’s needed for additional performance and economy.
Capability
The Explorer now comes with an all-new Terrain Management system with seven selectable drive modes. Choose normal for your every day driving. Select trail mode when you venture off-road. The deep snow/sand mode delivers more control for those loose surfaces. A slippery mode will help on those wet, icy roads. Opt for the tow/haul mode when you are pulling a load. The Explorer even has an Eco mode for improved fuel efficiency on those long road trips.
The Explorer’s new rear-wheel drive version beefs up its towing capacity by 600 pounds. Ford’s AdvanceTrac with Stability Control system helps keep your Explorer under control. Paired with Towing and Trailer Sway Control, the system selectively applies throttle and brake pressure so you and your load never lose control.
Driver-Assist Technology
The Explorer Limited Hybrid is equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360, a suite of driver-assist systems designed to keep you safer on the road. Features like Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go uses advanced radar and camera technology to monitor the traffic ahead. The system automatically slows your vehicle, even to a complete stop. When it senses the way ahead has cleared, it will automatically return your vehicle to its preset speed.
The Automatic Emergency Braking system uses the same technology to alert you when a collision is imminent. Should you fail to react, the system will automatically apply the brakes to help reduce or even avoid a potential impact.
It also features Ford’s BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert. This system alerts you with audio and visual cues when a vehicle enters your blind spot. The Cross-Traffic Alert is particularly useful in those busy parking lots, alerting you when a vehicle crosses your path while in reverse.
It even has a Reverse Brake Assist system. The system will automatically apply brake pressure should you fail to react when it detects something in its path, and works at speeds up to 37 MPH.
