Ford Explorer Technology Review

Interior Technology of the 2020 Ford Explorer

The 2020 Ford Explorer is ready for whatever you throw its way, but it also provides an oasis inside its cabin, thanks to high-end technologies that make drives comfortable and convenient.

With the available SYNC® 3 system, staying connected is easy. With your 10.1-inch dashboard touchscreen, you can integrate your smartphone via Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™, allowing you to access apps, navigation, phone calls, and texts more safely from behind the wheel.

Plus, with in-vehicle Wi-Fi, your passengers can stay in tune with the outside world as well. Up to 10 devices can connect at one time and it works up to 50 feet outside the Explorer.

Need to charge your device? The available wireless charger located in your center console will get the job done. You can also utilize the nine other power points throughout the SUV, so everyone can keep their batteries at full levels.

2020 Explorer Parking Technology

If you've ever had trouble perfectly parking your vehicle (and let's face it, who hasn't), you'll love the Active Park Assist 2.0 available for the Ford Explorer. With a simple press of a button, this system will detect a great parking spot and notify you to put the car into neutral.

Then, just hold the Active Park Assist button for the duration of the park, and the system will take care of the rest. And yes, this even works in tight parallel spots as well as perpendicular spots.

The Ford Explorer also comes equipped with a standard Rear View Camera. This makes backing out of your parking space a breeze, giving you a clear view of what's behind you on your dashboard touchscreen. Plus, it comes with a built-in washer, so the lens is always clean of dust, dirt, and snow for optimal visibility.

More technologies you'll love in the Explorer:

• B&O™ Sound System by Bang & Olufsen: Choose from either a 12-speaker sound system or a 980-watt 14-speaker sound system, and completely immerse yourself in your favorite music.
• Tri-Zone Climate Control: Customize comfort in your cabin with this feature that allows you to set a different temp for the driver's seat, front passenger seat, and back row.
• Waze: With real-time traffic alerts, this navigation system will help get you there safely and on time. You can even share the best routes with your friends!
