The 2016 Ford Explorer Sport AWD 4‑door SUV is a powerful, feature-packed midsize family hauler that mixes athletic performance, comfortable three-row seating, and generous towing capability—without losing everyday usability. Exterior Design & Presence The Explorer Sport stands out with aggressive styling cues—unique honeycomb grille, gloss-black trim, and sporty bumpers. The Sport trim rides on 20-inch alloy wheels, features HID headlights, fog lamps, and body-color mirrors with integrated turn signals. Dual stainless-steel exhaust outlets and sporty accents underscore its performance-ready attitude. Though full of presence, the Explorer’s bold design remains clean and refined, blending rugged SUV cues with modern styling. Powertrain & All‑Wheel Drive The Sport trim is equipped with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine delivering approximately 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and full-time intelligent all-wheel drive, the setup provides strong acceleration, robust highway merging, and confident traction in all seasons. The turbocharged V6 offers strong low-end and mid-range torque, while the AWD system automatically distributes power to maintain grip on slick surfaces. The result is energetic performance with the composure and driveability expected from a family SUV. Interior & Comfort Inside, the Sport trim offers upscale materials and sporty accoutrements. Leather-trimmed seats feature contrast stitching and a suede-like insert on front buckets. Heated and ventilated front seats with power adjustments (driver and passenger) add comfort. The second row is spacious, with ample legroom and optional captain’s chairs; the third row suits children or occasional adult use. Cargo space is generous—especially with the third row folded—and the rear liftgate opens lower for ease of loading. Ergonomic design includes intuitive controls and a user-focused center console layout. Technology & Features The 2016 Explorer Sport features Ford’s SYNC 3 infotainment system on an 8-inch touchscreen. It includes navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, USB ports, and voice controls. A premium Sony audio system delivers high-quality sound, while features like dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry with push-button start, and a power liftgate enhance convenience. Safety offerings include a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning with brake support, lane-keeping system, and adaptive cruise control. Driving Experience On-road, the Explorer Sport impresses with poised, yet sporty handling for a vehicle its size—thanks in part to torque-vectoring all-wheel drive and firm suspension tuning. It accelerates with authority, merges confidently, and remains solid through corners. Ride quality balances body control and cushioning fairly well, absorbing bumps without becoming overly stiff. Steering is responsive with a physical feel, though visibility from tall rear pillars can be slightly restrictive. Noise insulation is good, with engine and road noise well dampened at cruising speeds.
