Ford Explorer Sport: Reasons It's Worth the Upgrade

Ford Explorer SportThe Ford Explorer has always been known for its powerful performance and its impressive handling, so you may wonder why you need to upgrade to the Sport. How can you improve on such an already high-profile SUV? Is the performance really that much better?

Depending on what you’re looking for in your SUV, there’s a lot more that the Ford Explorer Sport can offer over the base model.

Here are just a few of the reasons why it’s worth the upgrade.

Unique Exterior Styling and Wheel Options

The Ford Explorer cuts a stylish figure, but the Sport gets an added edge that matches its rugged strength. Some of the unique exterior styling features you’ll see on the Ford Explorer Sport include a high-gloss black grille with high-gloss black bars, fog lamps for adventures on roads less traveled, LED signature lighting, taillamps that have a unique blackout treatment, and high-gloss black accents on the roof rack rails, mirrors, and liftgate applique. The Sport also comes with an “Explorer” badge on the hood, which is unique to the model.

The Sport also comes with 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted pockets, as well as performance BSW tires. A mini spare tire is included for when your off-roading or other adventures get a little too hectic.

Powerful Turbocharged Ecoboost Engine

By far, one of the best reasons to upgrade to the Sport is that it comes with the most powerful engine in the Explorer lineup. The Ford Explorer Sport comes with a twin turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine that puts out 365 horsepower. With that power under the hood and the standard all-wheel drive, you’ll feel like you can conquer any terrain.

Extra features like the terrain management system, sport-tuned suspension, and hill descent control will give you the performance and control you want, wherever you decide to roam.

Great Interior and Convenience Features

The Ford Explorer Sport loses some of the standard convenience features from the base model in favor of a focus on performance. However, that doesn’t mean that you lose out on luxury or that you can’t get all the convenience features you want.

The Sport comes standard with dual-zone automatic climate control, satellite radio, a voice-activated navigation system, a heated steering wheel, a rearview camera with wiper, push button start, and more. An optional package lets you add on features like heated and cooled front seats, a front parking camera, a built-in garage door opener, and a premium audio system.

The interior of the Sport features leather-trimmed seats with unique red accent stitching. The floor mats have special badging, and the mats and other interior features are all color-keyed for a beautiful look.

The Ford Explorer is a wonderful SUV that remains at the top of its class, but upgrading to the Ford Explorer Sport gives you a higher-performing ride with unique styling and first-class features. You’ll love the way the Sport handles, and you’ll love the way you look driving it. Take a test drive today and see how it compares for yourself.
