The 2025 Ford Explorer ST takes the beloved Explorer SUV to the next level with a focus on performance, advanced technology, and premium design. While the base model provides a solid foundation, the ST trim delivers exclusive features and upgrades that make it the ultimate choice for drivers seeking sport-inspired luxury in a Ford SUV. Here’s a detailed look at what sets the Ford Explorer ST 2025 model apart from the base trim.
Notable Changes from the Previous Year
The 2025 Ford Explorer ST has received notable updates, particularly in its infotainment system and exterior design. A new 15.5-inch touchscreen now comes standard in the ST trim, replacing the smaller display in the base model. This upgrade is paired with Ford’s latest SYNC 4A software, offering faster response times and wireless smartphone connectivity. Additionally, redesigned 21-inch alloy wheels and updated LED lighting enhance the sporty aesthetic of the 2025 Explorer ST SUV, making it stand out even more on Calgary’s roads.
Infotainment and Technology Features
While the base Explorer includes an 8-inch touchscreen and basic SYNC features, the ST trim adds premium technology for a connected and entertaining ride. Along with the larger display, the ST trim includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an upgraded Bang & Olufsen 12-speaker audio system for an immersive audio experience. Wireless charging and advanced navigation with real-time traffic updates are also exclusive to the ST trim.
Exterior Design
The Ford Explorer ST 2025 model boasts a bold and aggressive exterior compared to the base model. Unique ST badging, blacked-out grille accents, and dual exhaust tips emphasize the sporty intent of this trim. The available performance red brake callipers further highlight its dynamic character, a feature unavailable on the base trim. The ST trim also offers exclusive exterior colour options, giving you more ways to personalize your SUV.
Interior Comfort and Cargo Space
Inside, the ST trim exudes luxury with leather-trimmed sports seats featuring unique ST badging and contrast stitching. Heated and ventilated front seats, along with a heated steering wheel, come standard in the ST but are optional or unavailable in the base model. While the base trim offers a practical cabin, the ST takes comfort to new heights with ambient interior lighting and upgraded materials throughout. Cargo capacity remains consistent across all trims, ensuring versatility.
Engine and Performance Features
The base Explorer is equipped with a capable 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine. However, the 2025 Ford Explorer ST takes performance up a notch with its 3.0-litre EcoBoost V6 engine, delivering 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. This engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smoother shifts and faster acceleration, achieving a 0-100 km/h time of just under six seconds. Additionally, the ST trim includes a sport-tuned suspension and all-wheel drive as standard for sharper handling.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
While both trims share essentials like the Ford Co-Pilot360, the ST trim adds advanced driver-assistance systems, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Jam Assist and Evasive Steering Assist. The available Active Park Assist 2.0 in the ST also makes parking effortless, which is not offered on the base model.
