Drivers in Hot Springs considering a new Ford Explorer often ask if Ford will redesign this popular SUV for the 2027 model year. Based on all available information, a complete generational redesign is not expected in 2027. Instead, shoppers can look for meaningful updates in technology, features, and package options rather than a ground-up overhaul.

For those researching the 2027 Explorer, it is set to introduce updated equipment and enhancements that improve performance, style, and comfort.

Confirmed & Reported Updates

The upcoming 2027 Ford Explorer is expected to introduce several package revisions, feature updates, and expanded customization options across the lineup. While Ford has not officially released full model details, leaked order guide information and industry reporting have revealed several notable updates.

Engine & Performance Updates

• Available 3.0L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 expected to continue for the Explorer ST and return to select Platinum models
• Turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder likely remains the standard engine across much of the lineup
• Explorer ST expected to retain its sport-tuned performance setup and high-output V6 power
• Available AWD continues to enhance traction, confidence, and all-weather capability across multiple trims

New Packages & Trim Changes

• New 2027 package options may include the ST “Sinister Package” and revised Platinum upgrades

• Platinum trims could see wider availability of the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 through upgraded package options
• Available “Slick Roof Conversion” may remove roof rails for a cleaner, more streamlined appearance

Interior & Technology Features

Connectivity & Displays

Large infotainment screens and digital driver information displays are expected to remain a focal point of the Explorer cabin. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration should continue as standard features.

Comfort & Premium Amenities

Higher trim levels may offer upgrades such as B&O audio systems, multicontour front seats, and additional luxury-focused interior appointments.

Driver Assistance Technology

Available Ford BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology is expected to continue on select trims.

Glass Roof & Exterior Feature Updates

Beyond potential styling updates, the 2027 Ford Explorer is expected to offer additional appearance and comfort-focused options. The available Panoramic Vista Roof with a power shade may return after its absence in 2026, while Explorer Tremor models could offer an available Sun & Sound Package featuring a panoramic roof, premium audio, and multicontour seating. Updated wheel designs and appearance packages are also expected to contribute to a refreshed exterior look.

Because Ford has not fully unveiled the 2027 Explorer, final specifications, packaging, and availability may change before official release. Call our team at 501-525-0800 for more information.

Should You Wait for the 2027 Ford Explorer?

Current Ford Explorer models already deliver modern technology, advanced safety features, strong capability, and premium comfort. However, shoppers looking for updated styling, new package options, and additional feature availability may want to wait for the 2027 Explorer.

At Riser Ford in Hot Springs, Arkansas, we recognize that fuel efficiency is a top priority for many drivers. Choosing a vehicle with excellent gas mileage, of course, saves you money, but it also helps create a more sustainable environment.

Here, we’ll take a look at a few of the most fuel-efficient models Ford has to offer and give detailed insights to help you make an informed decision.

Which Ford Models Have the Best Fuel Efficiency?

Here are some of the most fuel-efficient Ford vehicles:

• Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid: The Escape Hybrid is known for its impressive fuel economy, making it an excellent choice for those seeking efficiency without compromising on versatility.
• Ford Maverick Hybrid: As a compact pickup truck, the Maverick Hybrid offers remarkable fuel efficiency, appealing to drivers who need utility and economy.
• Ford F-150 Hybrid: This full-size pickup combines the power of the F-150 with hybrid technology, delivering both performance and improved fuel economy.

Detailed Reviews and Ratings of Fuel Efficiency

MPG Ratings

• Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid:
  • City: 42 MPG
  • Highway: 36 MPG
  • Gas/Hybrid Combined: 40 MPG
  • Electric/Hybrid Combined: 101 MPGe
• Ford Maverick Hybrid:
  • City: 42 MPG
  • Highway: 33 MPG
  • Combined: 37 MPG
• Ford F-150 Hybrid:
  • City: 22 MPG
  • Highway: 24 MPG
  • Combined: 23 MPG

Customer Reviews

Ford’s hybrid models get high praise from owners, especially when it comes to balancing fuel efficiency with everyday performance. Drivers love how these vehicles save on gas without compromising on the driving experience.

Expert Ratings

Automotive experts are just as impressed with Ford’s hybrid lineup. The Ford Escape Hybrid and Maverick Hybrid, in particular, have earned a lot of praise for setting new standards in fuel efficiency and design.

Importance of Owning a Fuel-Efficient Vehicle

Cost Savings: Reduced fuel consumption leads to substantial savings over time. With fluctuating gas prices, owning a fuel-efficient vehicle can significantly lower your monthly expenses.

Environmental Impact: Fuel-efficient vehicles emit fewer greenhouse gases, contributing to a healthier planet. By choosing such a vehicle, you’re playing a part in reducing air pollution and combating climate change.

Driving Range: Vehicles with higher MPG ratings allow for longer distances between refueling stops, enhancing convenience, especially on long trips.

Fuel Tank Sizes and Their Relation to Fuel Efficiency

Understanding fuel tank capacity helps in planning your journeys more effectively:

• Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid: 11.1 gallons

It’s lower than the standard Escape models, because it prioritizes space for the electric battery pack, which enables its electric-only range.

• Ford Maverick Hybrid: 13.8 gallons
• Ford F-150 Hybrid: 30.6 gallons

While a larger fuel tank allows for extended driving ranges, it doesn’t significantly affect the vehicle’s MPG. However, a bigger tank does add extra weight, which can slightly reduce fuel efficiency. Still, for long-distance drivers, the convenience of fewer fuel stops is often a major benefit.

What Makes a Vehicle Fuel Efficient?

Several factors contribute to a vehicle’s fuel efficiency:

• Engine Technology: Innovations like turbocharging and hybrid systems improve power while optimizing fuel use.
• Aerodynamics: Streamlined designs reduce air resistance, letting the vehicle move more efficiently.
• Weight Reduction: Using lightweight materials decreases the vehicle’s weight, requiring less energy to operate.
• Transmission Technology: Advanced transmissions help ensure the engine operates in its most efficient range.
• Driving Assist Features: Features like adaptive cruise control maintain optimal speeds.
