Ford
is
launching
a
redesigned
version
of
the
largest
SUV
in
its
lineup,
now
including
Ford’s
brand-new
Digital
Experience
infotainment
system.
The
2025
Expedition
is
the
second
Ford
to
get
the
Android
Automotive-based
system
after
the
new
Explorer,
but
the
new
SUV’s
dashboard
and
UI
look
like
a
chopped-down
version
of
the
giant
panoramic
display
first
introduced
in
the
2024
Lincoln
Nautilus.
The
new
Expedition,
which
is
first
being
teased
with
a
drone
light
show
today
in
Texas,
looks
like
it
has
only
the
left
half
of
the
Lincoln’s
48-inch
pillar-to-pillar
panoramic
display,
leaving
behind
just
a
24-inch
panel
for
the
Expedition.
You’re
getting
the
same
instrument
cluster
and
navigation
combo
in
front
of
the
driver’s
seat,
but
without
the
widgets
that
feature
on
the
right
half
of
the
Lincoln’s
extended
screen.
The
Expedition’s
smaller
center
touchscreen
that
lives
below
it
also
runs
Google
Play
Store
apps,
operates
Apple
CarPlay,
and
has
digital
HVAC
controls,
just
like
the
Lincoln.
The
car
also
offers
both
Google
Assistant
and
Alexa
voice
assistants
(one
at
a
time),
and
some
models
offer
BlueCruise
hands-free
driving.

Pillar-to-pillar
panoramic
screens
have
become
a
flashy
feature
manufacturers
have
trotted
out
for
their
most
luxurious
vehicles
recently.
They’ve
often
been
pitched
as
an
infotainment
hub
for
the
front
passenger,
letting
them
watch
streaming
videos
and
even
play
some
PlayStation.
Ford
is
selling
a
standard-wheelbase
Expedition
and
an
extended
“Max”
one.
In
the
center
row,
you
have
options
for
bench
seating
or
captain
chairs;
the
backs
of
the
first-row
headrests
have
clamps
that
can
hold
smartphones
or
tablets
for
passengers
in
the
center
row.
The
Expedition
can
seat
up
to
eight
people
with
the
bench
option.

At
first
glance,
the
Expedition
seems
like
a
copy
of
the
new
Lincoln
Navigator
with
its
split
rear
gate,
the
addition
of
a
light
bar
up
front,
and
a
similar
3.5-liter
V6
engine
under
the
hood.
(It’s
an
“EcoBoost”
for
the
Ford.)
A
new
Tremor
trim
for
the
Expedition
puts
out
up
to
440
horsepower
and
has
tuned
suspension
and
unique
trail
modes
for
more
off-road
capabilities.
Like
the
Navigator,
Ford
doesn’t
offer
a
hybrid
powertrain
option
in
the
Expedition,
either.
