The 2026 Ford Explorer gets a full refresh and arrives with a renewed style, perfectly suited for drivers in Saint-Jérôme and the Laurentians. This mid-size SUV features a more aerodynamic silhouette and an even more assertive presence. The redesigned grille, new LED headlights, and wheel options contribute to a look that is both robust and refined.
Inside, space is generous. With three rows of seats, the Explorer welcomes up to seven passengers in comfort. Materials have been upgraded for a more premium finish, while the fold-flat seats allow flexible configurations for transporting luggage, sports gear, or camping equipment. Whether for daily commuting or a weekend getaway up north, the 2026 Explorer adapts to all lifestyles.
This model retains ideal proportions for navigating narrow streets as well as long scenic routes, and its ground clearance is perfectly suited for Quebec road conditions. To explore all trims and configuration options, you can visit the official 2026 Ford Explorer page on the Ford Canada website.
The 2026 Ford Explorer offers a selection of powerful engines designed to meet the needs of Quebec drivers. The standard engine is a 2.3-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder with 300 horsepower--perfect for those seeking a balance of performance and efficiency. For a more energetic drive, the ST and Platinum trims feature a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 producing up to 400 horsepower, ideal for towing, highway driving, or more demanding adventures.
A hybrid version is also available. It combines a 3.3-liter V6 with an electric motor for a combined output of 318 horsepower, offering improved fuel economy without compromising performance. This version is especially appealing for buyers in the Laurentians who want to reduce consumption while maintaining power, an increasingly popular priority.
All models feature a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth, efficient, and enjoyable driving. The intelligent all-wheel-drive system, available on most trims, automatically adjusts power distribution to improve traction on wet, snowy, or uneven roads. With a towing capacity of up to 5,600 pounds, the Explorer is just as capable of pulling a trailer or boat as it is of transporting the family to the cottage.
The 2026 Ford Explorer integrates the latest technological advancements from the brand. The standard SYNC 4 system provides seamless connectivity with your mobile devices through wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The larger, more intuitive central screen makes it easy to access vehicle controls, navigation, media, and personalized settings.
The cabin offers a comfortable and sophisticated environment. The front seats are heated and ventilated, and some trims even offer memory settings and premium leather options. Multi-zone climate control ensures ideal comfort, while long drives become even more enjoyable thanks to the optional B&O audio system, delivering sound quality worthy of a listening room.
When it comes to safety, the 2026 Ford Explorer stands out with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite, which includes driver-assistance features such as automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring. Depending on the selected trim, intelligent adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera are also available, adding an extra layer of confidence and security.
