The refreshed 2016 model year Ford Explorer debuted at the [[LA Auto Show#2014|2014 Los Angeles Auto Show]], with a redesigned front fascia, hood, and lower bumper, standard LED low-beam headlights, and fog lamps that were inspired by the [[Ford F-Series thirteenth generation|thirteenth generation Ford F-150]]. The rear of the Explorer was also refreshed with restyled LED tail lamps and dual exhaust outlets. The 2016 refresh bumped the [[I4 engine]] to a 2.3&nbsp;L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine from the 2015 [[Ford Mustang]]. A newly introduced ''Platinum'' trim now tops out the range, slotting above the Sport and Limited trims. Similar to the Platinum editions of the F150 and Ford Super Duty trucks, the Platinum trim features front and rear cameras, enhanced active park assist with perpendicular park assist, park-out assist and semi-automatic parallel parking, hands-free liftgate from the [[Ford Escape]], an exclusive 500-watt [[Sony]] surround sound system, and a heated steering wheel. The Platinum is paired with a 3.5&nbsp;L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 with {{cvt|365|bhp|kW|}} which was previously only available with the Sport trim. The facelifted Explorer went on sale at dealerships in the middle of 2015 for the 2016 model year. The base Explorer also received standard eighteen-inch [[alloy wheels]].
