About Ford Explorer

The Ford Explorer is one of the most recognisable three-row SUVs on Saudi roads, offering a compelling mix of performance, space, and a heritage nameplate that continues to resonate with family buyers. Prices in Saudi Arabia start from SAR 184,935.

The 2026 Explorer runs a 2.3 L turbocharged engine with 300 bhp, matched to an Automatic gearbox. The Active (Base) offers a well-rounded entry into the range with a practical seven-seat layout for 7 passengers. Stepping up to the ST (Top) brings the larger 3.0-litre twin-turbo engine, sport styling, and a noticeably more driver-focused setup — a meaningful step up for buyers who want character alongside practicality. Fuel efficiency in the KSA specification is in line with what you would expect from a petrol SUV of this size and output — competitive for its class it is not, but running costs on 91-octane remain manageable given Saudi fuel prices.

Pros: the Explorer's power delivery is strong and refined, and the cabin feels solidly built relative to its price point. The brand's parts availability and service network across the Kingdom is a genuine ownership advantage. Cons: the third-row seating is snug for adults, limiting its appeal as a true six-adult people mover. Resale values in the Saudi market, while more competitive than in the UAE, still trail some Japanese rivals in the same segment.

The Ford Explorer retains approximately 49% of its value after five years in the Saudi market — ahead of the Chevrolet Traverse at 40%, which is a meaningful advantage for buyers thinking about long-term cost of ownership. 2021 Explorer examples currently list from SAR 79,000 on CarSwitch — around 57% below new.

Buyers considering the Explorer in Saudi Arabia frequently also look at the Volkswagen Teramont, Nissan Murano, and Hyundai Santa Fe — sharing a similar three-row family SUV brief and overlapping price ranges, though the Explorer's performance credentials and AWD availability help differentiate it against the more comfort-focused alternatives.

Frequently asked questions

The Active (Base) at SAR 184,935 provides a well-specified entry into the Explorer range with a seven-seat layout and the standard 2.3 L engine. The ST (Top) at SAR 249,900 steps up to a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre engine, sport-tuned dynamics, and enhanced exterior styling — a significant performance and character upgrade for buyers willing to stretch the budget.
The Explorer retains approximately 49% of its value after five years in the Saudi market, which is ahead of the Chevrolet Traverse at 40% and broadly competitive with the Volkswagen Teramont and Hyundai Santa Fe. Among American three-row SUVs in KSA, the Explorer's resale performance is relatively strong.
The 2026 Explorer is not positioned as a fuel-efficient SUV — its 2.3 L turbocharged engine with 300 bhp is tuned for performance rather than economy, and real-world consumption in city driving is on the higher side for its class. That said, Saudi fuel prices mean that running costs remain manageable for most buyers in this segment.
Yes — 2021 Explorer examples are currently listed from around SAR 80,000 on CarSwitch, roughly 57% below the new entry price of SAR 184,935. Older 2019 models are available from around SAR 59,000, offering a significantly lower entry point for buyers comfortable with higher mileage.
For most Saudi buyers, the Active (Base) at SAR 184,935 represents the strongest value proposition — it offers the full seven-seat layout, the proven 2.3 L engine, and a practical specification without the premium of the ST (Top). The ST is best reserved for buyers who specifically want the twin-turbo performance upgrade and sport styling.
