Agate Black Metallic is one of those colors that makes a parking lot feel like a runway, and this 2026 Ford Explorer Active wears it well. The 18-inch Sparkle Silver-Painted Aluminum wheels catch the light just right, and with body-color bumpers and a rear spoiler, this Explorer has enough curb appeal to make your neighbors peek through the blinds. We think it looks pretty sharp, but we may be a little biased since we have one sitting right here on our lot for $43,494.
Under the hood, the 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4WD. You get 20 MPG in the city and 27 on the highway, which means fewer stops at the pump and more horsepower to your dollar. We'd say this engine really knows how to drive a hard bargain. The four-wheel independent suspension and Electronic Stability Control keep things smooth when the road gets a little opinionated, and speed-sensing steering helps you steer your life in the right direction. Safety gear includes ABS brakes, multiple airbag systems, Ford's 911 Assist emergency communication, a rear parking camera, and auto high-beam headlights, so you are covered front to back and top to bottom.
Inside, the Explorer Active seats up to seven with heated captain's chairs up front, a 35/30/35 second-row bench with E-Z Entry, and a third-row bench in the back. The Space Gray interior is roomy enough that the kids in the third row might actually stop arguing about personal space. Front and rear dual-zone climate control means everyone gets their own temperature preference, and yes, there is rear air conditioning so the back seats are not a forgotten wasteland. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Navigation System, and SiriusXM with 360L radio are all along for the ride, along with steering wheel audio controls and six speakers to keep the tunes flowing.
We know you have options, and we are glad this one steered you our way. Give us a call at 978-228-5021 to get more details or set up a test drive at AutoFair Ford of Haverhill. Our team would love to help you get behind the wheel of this Explorer Active before someone else drives it home.
