New for 2013, the Ford Explorer Sport combines high performance with fuel efficiency, thanks to EcoBoost power. The first high-performance Ford Explorer arrives for 2013, featuring a twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine producing 365 horsepower.
Explorer Sport's Terrain Management System tailors power to all four wheels for enhanced dynamics on and off the pavement. Paddle shifters offer precise control of the transmission.
Aggressive design features include 20-inch wheels and a unique grille featuring low-gloss Sterling Gray mesh with contrasting Ebony high-gloss bars to establish strong exterior cues. Explorer Sport's interior incorporates contrasting stitching and available two-tone Charcoal Black and Sienna leather-faced seats.
Performance tuning includes a stiffer chassis, sport-tuned electric power-assisted steering (EPAS), larger brakes and paddle-shifted six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission.
Ford's Terrain Management System offers settings for sand, snow, rutted mud and hill descent. The fuel economy of 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway beats gas-powered, high-performance competitors.
The latest-generation SYNC system with MyFord Touch features Wi-Fi capability, text-to-voice, HD Radio with iTunes Tagging and voice-activated navigation.
Ford's leading safety and security features include: AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control; Safety Canopy System, a side air curtain technology offering protection for the first and second seating rows; SOS Post-Crash Alert System; MyKey programmable vehicle key allows parental controls on driving speed; Hill Start Assist for more confidence on uphill grades; and Curve Control, which can slow the vehicle by up to 10 mph if it senses a curve is being taken too fast.
