2024 Ford Explorer from Monaco Ford of Niantic in Niantic, CT

There are numerous incredible features we could highlight about the 2024 Ford Explorer. It’s a tough-looking mid-sized SUV with a fiery engine under the hood, and once you get into the cabin, you’ll be blown away by all the technology it has to offer.

1. Ford Co-Pilot360

Ford Co-Pilot360 is a suite of advanced driver assistance technologies that make sure you’re protected from all angles while you’re on the road. The rearview camera helps you keep an eye on the area behind your car.

The Lane-Keeping System makes sure you don’t drift over the lane lines. The Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert protects you while you’re changing lanes and backing up. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking helps mitigate head-on collisions. There are several other features included in this safety suite that make driving a little more secure, too.

2. MyKey

MyKey is standard in the Explorer and lets you alter some of your car’s safety systems while you’re not even in the vehicle. You can use it to set the maximum speed your vehicle can reach, a maximum volume for the radio, and seatbelt reminders. It’s intended to teach your teenagers good driving habits and let you enforce them even while you’re not in the car with your young driver.

It also has default features that you can’t switch off. When using MyKey, all the driver assistance features are on by default. Low fuel warning activates earlier than usual, allowing for more time to get to the gas station and fill up the tank. The audio system mutes until the front seat passengers have their seat belts on.

3. Entertainment and Premium Sound

The infotainment system in your Explorer has SiriusXM, wireless smartphone connectivity, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. It also has a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen 980-watt sound system, allowing you to listen to music, podcasts, news, or sports with premium sound quality. The many infotainment system features give your passengers many ways they can stay entertained on every journey.

4. Easy Device Charging

You and your passengers don’t have to worry about dead smartphones. There’s a Media Hub with a USB-A and a USB-C input in the front of your car, and there are 5 total 12-volt power points throughout the vehicle. These are all inputs that you and your passengers can use to plug in your devices. One of the 12-volt power points is in the cargo area, two are in the second row, and two are in the front row.
