2026 Ford Explorer midsize SUV (gas‑powered models): 

🚗 Base 2.3 L EcoBoost 4‑Cylinder (Most Common)

• City: 20 mpg

• Highway: 29 mpg (RWD)

• Combined: 24 mpg (RWD)

• With Intelligent 4WD: 20 city / 27 highway / ~23 combined

🏁 Optional Twin‑Turbo 3.0 L V‑6

• City: 18 mpg

• Highway: 25 mpg (RWD)

• Combined: ~21 mpg

• With 4WD it stays roughly 18 city / 25 highway / ~20 combined

📌 Notes

• The four‑cylinder 2.3 L typically gets the best fuel economy in the lineup, especially on the highway. 

• AWD reduces highway fuel economy slightly compared with RWD. 

• More aggressive trims (e.g., Tremor with off‑road gear) may have different mpg ratings due to heavier tires and gear ratios. 

Summary Example (2.3 L):

• 20 mpg city

• 27–29 mpg highway

• ~23–24 mpg combined

If you want the hybrid version’s fuel economy (which can be significantly higher), I can look up or summarize that too!
