The 2026 Ford Explorer sets a high standard for family safety with comprehensive protection systems designed to help prevent accidents and protect occupants. This midsize SUV comes equipped with an impressive array of standard safety features across all trim levels.
​Every 2026 Explorer includes essential safety technologies like the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), which monitors your vehicle's blind spots and alerts you to vehicles you might not see. The standard rearview camera with washer ensures clear visibility when backing up, while front and rear parking sensors on select trims help navigate tight spaces. All models feature advanced airbag systems including dual-stage front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, and Safety Canopy curtain airbags protecting all three rows.
The Explorer SUV's suite of driver assistance features includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go functionality, Lane-Keeping System with both warning and assist capabilities, and automatic emergency braking. Higher trims like the Platinum and ST offer BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology. The standard AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control helps maintain vehicle stability in challenging conditions.
