2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

The Ford Explorer boasts a 3-row interior, good engine options, and a variety of trims that includes the sporty ST and the rugged Tremor.

Cons

<li>So-so interior quality</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2026 Ford Explorer is propelled by a 300-horsepower turbo 4-cylinder engine matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). We like this engine&#8217;s blend of peppy performance and good fuel economy, but some rivals have more refined power delivery. Rear-wheel drive is uncommon in this class, and it lends a decidedly sporty driving experience to the Explorer for a family SUV. Even when it&#8217;s equipped with all-wheel drive, the rear-bias is noticeable and welcome.
The Explorer&#8217;s base engine makes the most sense for most drivers, but the enthusiast in us loves the optional 400-horsepower twin-turbo V6 &#8211; it&#8217;s simply one of our favorite engines in this class. It&#8217;s optional in the Platinum and Tremor trims and standard in the ST. The ST model brings more performance upgrades like a sport-tuned suspension system and upgraded brakes, but we&#8217;ve found its steering to be less-than-sporty for what is supposed to be a performance vehicle.
But let&#8217;s remember that the Ford Explorer is a 3-row family SUV, so how does it do in eating up miles on the highway? Long-distance highway comfort is a strong suit of the Explorer. Its suspension is compliant and comfortable, and noise levels are reasonably quiet. One of our favorite features of the Explorer is BlueCruise, a hands-free highway driving system that&#8217;s standard in all but the base Active trim. With BlueCruise, you can keep your hands off the wheel and your eyes on the road on more than 130,000 miles of North American highways. It feels natural and is one of our favorite hands-free systems of its kind.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Ford Explorer’s 24 mpg in combined city-and-highway driving is near the top of its class for gas-only models. That’s with rear-wheel drive. Opting for all-wheel drive will drop that combined figure to 23 mpg. The available turbo V6 returns up to 21 combined mpg and still runs on regular-grade gas, keeping fuel costs reasonable. Premium isn&#8217;t required, but recommended for maximum performance in the ST.

Bold Exterior

Exterior

Ford beefed up the Explorer’s exterior styling last year with a larger grille (each trim has a unique grille), new LED headlights, and lower, wider air curtains. An updated liftgate, sporting new LED taillights, highlights the changes to the tail. Pick the ST-Line, ST, or Platinum grades, and you can opt for a black-painted roof. For a more rugged aesthetic, go for the new Tremor model.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen 
This impressive touchscreen, included on every trim, commands the Ford Digital Experience infotainment interface. Powered by Google, it allows you to surf the web, stream music and video, play games, and generally stay connected &#8212; great for passing time while parked.
12.3-inch digital driver information display 
Also standard on every trim, the driver can customize this large screen to display whatever information is most essential at the time. Moreover, it has a minimal Mindful mode, cutting down on any info that might be distracting.
Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
Wireless smartphone integration is standard in every new Explorer, making it easy to bring your maps, music, and more from your phone to the screen in the car.
Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ 
This comprehensive array of advanced safety and driver-aid technologies includes automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and more.
Tremor 
The Ford Explorer Tremor is new for 2026. The most capable Explorer ever boasts standard all-wheel drive, an extra inch of ride height, improved approach and departure angles, a Torsen limited-slip differential, extra underbody protection, and a rugged appearance package that includes 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires.
BlueCruise 
Optional on the ST-Line and higher trims, this semi-autonomous driving system is advanced enough that a driver may remove their hands from the steering wheel when in a predetermined hands-free stretch of divided highway (Hands-Free Blue Zones). It can brake, steer, accelerate, and even change lanes on its own. We’re big fans.

Practical Interior

Interior

The Ford Explorer has a 3-row configuration and seating for up to seven. Upper trims offer second-row captain’s chairs that reduce seating capacity to six but improve second-row comfort and open up easier access to the third row. Front-row occupants have more breathing room because Ford pushed the dashboard forward with last year&#8217;s redesign. Ford added a tray beneath the 13.2-inch touchscreen for storage or to house the available wireless smartphone charger. Next to the touchscreen and directly behind the steering wheel is a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and driver-information display.
Ford made a welcome upgrade to the Explorer&#8217;s overall interior quality for the 2025 model, but there are still parts that feel subpar compared to similarly priced rivals. This is forgivable in the more affordable trims, but even the pricey upper trims have an unwelcome amount of hard plastics in the cabin. This interior has the practicality and toughness for daily family use, but some competitors are just nicer inside.
The Explorer provides a generous 39 inches of second-row legroom, about average for this class. Life in the third row is somewhat less comfortable. Low-set cushions and 32.2 inches of legroom make this area better suited for younger and smaller family members. The Explorer’s third-row legroom is near the bottom of the 3-row pack. If you&#8217;ll use that third row regularly, passengers will appreciate it if you shop around for something a little roomier.
Behind the third row is a luggage area of 16.3 cubic feet. With rows two and three folded, the maximum cargo space is 85.8 cubic feet. Both measurements are roughly average for the class.

KBB Editors' Overview

The Ford Explorer has been a trusted name in midsize SUVs for decades. It was just redesigned for the 2025 model year with a refreshed look, an updated interior, and modernized tech, including the available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system. Now, for 2026, the new Tremor model enters the lineup, which brings rugged capabilities and aesthetics to the practical Explorer. This SUV&#8217;s family-friendly 3-row interior makes it good for daily errand running and long-distance road-tripping alike. Meanwhile, it has one of our favorite engine lineups in this segment, which includes an eager and efficient turbo 4-cylinder and a more muscular turbo V6. The Ford Explorer remains a safe and sensible choice in midsize SUVs.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the 2026 Ford Explorer.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

We expect the 2026 Ford Explorer to start at about $42,000 for the base Active trim with rear-wheel drive (RWD). Add $2,000 to the cost if you want to add all-wheel drive (AWD), which is standard on the Tremor model. The sporty ST model will likely start at about $56,000.

Engine & Transmission

Under the Hood

The base powertrain in the 2026 Ford Explorer is a 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Its output is a healthy 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Enthusiasts will be interested in the optional 3.0-liter turbo V6, which also links to the 10-speed auto, making 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. We love this engine &#8211; it&#8217;s the one to get for anyone who wants an exciting driving experience in their practical family SUV. With both engines, rear-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional, but all-wheel drive is standard with the Tremor. The Explorer boasts a maximum to rating of up to 5,000 pounds, which is about average its class.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Ford follows most mainstream carmakers, issuing the industry-standard bumper-to-bumper limited warranty coverage of three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Likewise, the Explorer’s limited powertrain warranty is the usual five years or 60,000 miles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>) awarded the current-generation Explorer its 5-Star overall safety rating. Moreover, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings">IIHS</a>) rated the Explorer with its top score of Good in every one of its crash tests. The Ford Explorer’s bundle of advanced safety and driver-assist tech includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, high-beam assist, rear-park assist, and more.

What's new for

The big update to the Ford Explorer for 2026 is the addition of the off-road-ready Tremor model, which replaces the Timberline trim that was discontinued last year.

2026GMC Terrain

2026GMC Terrain Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 GMC Terrain boasts the brand’s bold looks and rugged-yet-premium vibe in a compact form factor.

<ul>
<li>Just one engine choice</li>
<li>Just three trim choices</li>
</ul>

As with many of its rivals, the 2026 GMC Terrain uses a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. But with just 175 horsepower, it is among the least powerful in the segment, second only to the smaller Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. And unfortunately, this is the only choice. Rivals, meanwhile, offer more powerful options or hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Also, consider that the all-new 2026 Toyota RAV4 not only comes with a hybrid powertrain standard, but it’s more powerful, with a minimum of 226 hp – 51 more ponies than the Terrain.
All this said, we found the Terrain’s driving manners acceptable and on par with what most drivers expect from a compact SUV. While its power is modest, it proved adequate for getting up to speed on the highway and fine for around-town driving. We prefer Terrain models with the all-wheel-drive setup for a couple of reasons. First, they get more torque, which helps with acceleration, and an 8-speed automatic transmission instead of the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) found in front-wheel-drive models. The latter tend to drone. The AT4 and Denali models that come on board for 2026 have this better setup standard, and it’s optional on the base Elevation trim.
Terrain’s driver assistance systems also feel midpack compared to those of its rivals. The adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping works well enough, but subtle changes in speed and lane centering aren’t as smooth as the best systems out there.
Fuel Economy
The 2025 GMC Terrain is EPA-rated at 27 mpg in combined city/highway driving for front-wheel-drive models. All-wheel-drive variants earn 25 mpg combined. Again, these numbers won’t win any awards. With all-wheel drive standard, the Subaru Forester attains up to 29 mpg. A hybrid Honda CR-V with all-wheel drive will get up to 37 mpg, and we predict the all-new Toyota RAV4 with its standard hybrid powertrain will easily reach that number or higher.

Bold exterior

Here’s another selling point for the Terrain: This latest generation makes it look even more like an GMC SUV. And by that, we mean it’s got that boxy, rugged personality. This presence is even more prevalent in the AT4 model, given away by its red front tow hooks, front skid plate, and lifted ride height. The Terrain Denali, meanwhile, can’t be missed with its big and bright grille, 19-inch wheels, and – get this – animated headlights and taillights.

Heat and more heat: All 2026 Terrain models come with both heated seats and a heated steering wheel. Owners in cold-weather states will rejoice.
Animated lights: This isn’t quite Pixar levels, but the new GMC Terrain Denali has headlights and taillights that put on a little show upon startup.
Excellent tech: In addition to its massive 15-inch vertical touchscreen, all Terrain models include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Two-tone roof: We’re fond of these distinguishing treatments, and all Terrain models can be had with a contrast-color roof.
Digital rearview mirror: A rear camera mirror is standard on the Denali and optional on the Elevation and AT4. With the flick of a switch, the rear mirror goes from traditional mirror to a screen fed by a rear camera. This means you can see what’s behind you without being impeded by cargo or passengers’ heads.
Rear air vents: As lovers of both dogs and children who don’t get car sick, we love this feature, and even more so that it’s standard in the 2026 Terrain.

Premium cabin

The 2026 GMC Terrain’s cabin is a nice place to reside, with an impressive mix of ruggedness and tech. The first thing you’ll likely notice is the 15-inch screen that dominates the dash. Not only is this screen bigger than that of its Chevy Equinox cousin, but it’s vertically oriented, like a giant tablet. Complementing this is an 11-inch digital instrument cluster. Together, these two panels easily display all the info you need and more. We also like that, though there is a lot of touchscreen, there are also physical buttons and a big ol’ volume knob at the bottom.
All trims come standard with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel – certainly a rarity – and the AT4 and Denali trims come with added perks like an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, overhead sunglass storage, and dual-zone climate control. The top-dog Terrain Denali includes ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, and perforated leather upholstery. A panoramic sunroof is optional on both the AT4 and Denali trims.
The Terrain’s passenger and cargo space are hardly class-leading, but still workable and practical. For example, rear passengers get a pretty impressive 39.7 inches of legroom, and cargo space is 29.8 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 63.5 with them folded.

The GMC Terrain is now among the freshest choices in compact SUVs, coming off a full revamp just last year. Oddly, though, the all-new Terrain debuted in just a single, base trim. For 2026, though, GMC’s compact SUV triples its choices, moving up to three. Joining the entry-level Elevation trim are the rugged AT4 and premium-leaning Denali trims. Padding the lineup thusly should help the Terrain compete with rivals, but this is still a cutthroat segment that includes household names like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. Like its cousin, the Chevrolet Equinox, the GMC Terrain is an adequate compact SUV with a few glints of greatness.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a>, including the GMC Terrain.

The GMC Terrain’s starting price is about average for the segment, which also happens to be the most popular and most crowded class. Some dozen rivals compete here. Before buying a Terrain, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. The GMC Terrain’s resale value is predicted be about average, trailing leaders like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4/2026/">Toyota RAV4</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v/">Honda CR-V</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/subaru/forester/">Subaru Forester</a>. Remember: Recouping more money when you sell a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on your next one.

Engine and Transmission

All GMC Terrain models use a turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. It makes 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque (front-wheel-drive models make 184 lb-ft). An 8-speed automatic transmission is fitted to all-wheel-drive variants, while front-drive models get a continuously variable transmission.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
The GMC Terrain is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. This coverage is average for this segment. Additionally, you get complimentary maintenance on your first visit.
Safety
We’ll have to wait for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) to test the redesigned Terrain. But all Terrain models come standard with a host of safety and driver assistance features including forward collision alert with automatic braking, Safety Alert Seat, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.

What's New For 2026

The Terrain lineup gets more fleshed out for 2026 with <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-gmc-terrain-gets-luxury-rugged-trims/">the arrival of the AT4 and Denali trims</a>. GMC’s AT4 models are more off-road-oriented, while the desirable Denali trims represent the most premium variants. Both models have all-wheel drive standard along with their added feature content.

2026Subaru Outback

2026Subaru Outback Archives - Kelley Blue Book

$33,500 - $38,499

$33,500 - $38,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The redesigned 2026 Subaru Outback brings more traditional SUV proportions and updated tech while retaining a quirky character and rugged capabilities.

The 2026 Subaru Outback is powered by a 180-horsepower 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and all-wheel drive. The Wilderness model and trims with “XT” in their names get an upgrade to a 260-hp turbo 4-cylinder engine, which also has a CVT and AWD.
Under the hood is one area where the new generation of the Subaru Outback is not radically different from the outgoing one. These same engines have almost identical specs as the Outback generation that came out in 2020. In our thorough experience with the outgoing Outback, the base engine’s performance is adequate for the daily driving duties of most commuters and families. However, the enthusiast in us prefers the punchier turbo engine, which is a little less efficient but much more fun.
Another thing we can be pretty sure of is that the new Outback will be an adept off-roader. If it weren’t, it wouldn’t be an Outback. The Subaru Outback has historically offered one of the best balances of off-road capability and on-road comfort of anything with four wheels, and that reputation should continue with the 2026 model’s standard all-wheel drive, 8.7-inch ground clearance, and X-Mode.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2025 Subaru Outback is rated at 26 city/32 highway/28 combined mpg with the base engine and 22 city/29 highway/25 combined mpg with the turbo engine. We expect similar fuel economy ratings for the 2026 model. These numbers are about average for a midsize 2-row SUV with all-wheel drive.

Boxy Exterior

The 2026 Subaru Outback has an all-new look that deviates from its wagon-like past. The new Outback has proportions more in line with a traditional midsize 2-row SUV. Its body is a bit taller and boxier as opposed to the longer proportions of Outback models of yesteryear that made it look like a hiking boot. It retains its important tall ground clearance of 8.7 inches with favorable approach and departure angles, which is part of what makes it such a good off-roader.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive 
This feature isn’t surprising or new for the 2026 model. The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a full-time system, is one of our favorite things about the Subaru Outback. In typical Subaru fashion, it makes this SUV ready for snowy roads and rugged trails alike.
12.1-inch touchscreen 
We’re hoping infotainment won’t consistently be in our “Cons” column for the Outback anymore with this new 12.1-inch center display handling functions like maps, music, and phone connectivity. Speaking of which, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard.
EyeSight 
Subaru’s EyeSight safety tech suite bundles driver assistance features like automatic emergency braking, lane centering, adaptive cruise control, and acceleration override assist. A new safety option for the 2026 model is hands-free highway driving up to 85 mph.
X-Mode 
Subaru’s famous X-Mode helps optimize the car’s power delivery for conditions like snow, mud, and sand. Its controls used to be on the touchscreen; we’re grateful Subaru is moving the X-Mode controls to a switch on the steering wheel.
Wilderness model 
The Subaru Outback Wilderness has been called the Outback of the Outback. In other words, it’s the most off-road-capable version of an already capable SUV. In addition to a rugged appearance package, the Wilderness trim adds a 9.5-inch ground clearance, all-terrain tires, StarTex seats, dual-function X-Mode, and a 260-hp turbo engine.
Big cupholders 
Yes, every new car has cupholders. However, Subaru knows its audience: people who drive a Subaru like big water bottles. That’s why the cupholders in all four doors of the new Outback can accommodate a 32-ounce water bottle.

Updated Interior

The Subaru Outback has a new interior for 2026 that’s familiar in some ways and different in others. Let’s start with the screens. We never cared for the tall, clipboard-like infotainment screens that Subaru’s been using in recent years, so we’re grateful that the 12.1-inch center display in the new Outback is more square. Beneath it is a welcome row of physical knobs and buttons for the climate controls; no more frustrated tapping on a laggy screen to turn on the heated seats.
Subaru’s been getting with the times in terms of digital gauge clusters. A 12.3-inch screen perched in front of the steering wheel is now standard in every Outback, showing the driver the basics like a speedometer and fuel gauge, plus info on maps, music, driver assistance features, and more.
