2023 Ford Explorer Sees New Refresh With 27-Inch Screen

Ford will be providing the all-new 2023 Ford Explorer with a new refresh. This refresh will supposedly be available for only the Chinese version of the Explorer. As of late, the Blue Oval has been focusing on producing new EVs. Due to the success of the F-150 Lightning and Mach-E, Ford has been focusing on other EV variants like the Ranger and Maverick Lightning. There have also been rumors of an electric Ford Explorer, but before reaching that point, it seems Ford wants to provide the latest updates for its combustion engine lineup. We’ll take a look at the newly updated 2023 Ford Explorer and see what consumers can expect. 

2023 Ford Explorer Sees Updates

Ford will be updating the all-new 2023 Ford Explorer with a new refresh. Although initially a rumor, it has been confirmed that the mid-size SUV will see several new changes. It is still uncertain however if these changes will only be for the Chinese Explorer model. Ford has not released any details on whether American markets will see the new updates. Despite this uncertainty, it’s good to see Ford giving attention to its combustion engine lineup. 

One of the first updates consumers will notice with the new 2023 Ford Explorer is its front grille. The mid-size SUV has received a wider grille as well as new chrome accents. The 2023 Explorer also receives redesigned LED headlights. Ford has also equipped the mid-size SUV with 21-inch alloy wheels. At the rear of the SUV, consumers will note a pair of wider taillights as well as Explorer lettering. This lettering has replaced the Ford badge on the tailgate and a chrome bar has been added between the taillights. 

Another notable change to the 2023 Ford Explorer is a large 27-inch infotainment touchscreen. This touchscreen sits in the middle of the dashboard and takes up most of the climate control buttons. Due to this, Ford has placed the central air vents lower. The theme of larger screens has been a common trend among automakers. While they could prove to be a distraction, the larger screens help provide drivers with an intuitive way to use navigation systems and apps. We’re not sure if these changes will make their way to the American version of the Explorer, but it’s nice to see Ford providing updates. Those interested in the 2023 Ford Explorer will be able to place their orders on August 11th (2022). Production of the SUV will begin on November 7th (2022).
