2025 Ford Expedition Preview – Consumer Reports

The interior is roomy, spare, and will be available in a handful of different colors. The dash looks F-150-ish, with chunky pieces and HVAC vents arrayed around a large center infotainment screen and an oddly asymmetrical 24-inch horizontal digital display screen that sits close to the bottom of the windshield. Its big rotary shifter knob—which CR testers found easy to use—carries over from the old model.

Wi-Fi connectivity, once offered as a distinct option, will now be part of its standard technology package. Ford says its hotspot will support up to 10 personal devices over a radius of about 50 feet. Google Assistant will be the default voice activation system, although Ford says the Expedition will also be available with built-in Alexa. Voice activation can summon streaming music, audiobooks, and other entertainment, but also gives the driver the ability to control HVAC and other vehicle functions hands-free.

The seats appear to be large, as in the previous Expedition, with room for up to eight people (one fewer if you spring for the optional second-row captain’s chairs). There is a large cargo bin between the front seats, and plenty of small item storage throughout the cabin. The second- and third-row seats feature a center fold-down to accommodate long items—such as skis—that might not fit in the rear cargo area with all the seats up. The smallish cargo area behind the third row expands into a cavernous void with the third row folded down. When the seats are up, space can be maximized using an adjustable package shelf that lowers the rear floor and makes it possible to stack cargo items.
