2025 Expedition to launch soon
Interest heightens due to leaked photos of the new interior
What are the changes that stand out?
Ford’s large SUV Expedition was produced in 1996 and is a popular model today. Ahead of the launch of this SUV’s new model, the interior has been leaked, raising expectations. The Expedition has a reasonable price compared to many large SUVs in the U.S., a major producing country for large SUVs. Ford’s awareness is high in South Korea, so it will be great news for those planning to purchase it.
The new Expedition, scheduled to be launched in 2025, has had spy shots consistently leaked, making it easy to grasp the exterior design. However, this is the first photo taken mainly of the interior center fascia, and we can expect major changes.
Resembling its Luxury counterpart, Lincoln
The interior of the new Expedition is similar to Lincoln’s premium SUV, the Nautilus. This shows that Ford has adopted a luxurious design as a premium brand. Also, looking at leaked photos of the vehicle’s interior, you can see a long screen extending from the instrument panel to the center fascia. As expected, it appears to have a screen similar to the panoramic display applied to the new Lincoln Nautilus.
In the case of most new models released these days, touch operations are often used on the wide screen instead of physical buttons. However, as this model is an American-style vehicle, physical buttons are still used more than touch buttons. There will be differences of opinion among consumers regarding this part.
Scheduled to be unveiled at 2024 New York International Auto Show
Although no details are known about the powertrain, it is expected to be equipped with a V6 3.5L twin-turbocharged engine with 380 horsepower, and the higher version is expected to produce up to 400 horsepower. While speculation is rampant as detailed information has not been released, some have predicted that the engine from the Ford pickup model F-150 may be installed. There is also the possibility of a hybrid system being installed.
The 2025 Ford Expedition will be revealed at the 2024 New York International Auto Show. It is expected to be launched in the U.S., where demand for large SUVs is steady, and in South Korea, where demand has recently increased, but the specific launch date has not been revealed.
Popular in South Korea But Somewhat Expensive
It is likely to sell only if the price is competitive
In South Korea, it was sold starting in 2021, and it was possible to experience the Expedition for less than 100 million won ( about $ 75,585). Still, with the launch of the facelift version, the price exceeded 100 million won ( about $75,585), reducing consumers’ willingness to purchase.
Lincoln’s Aviator is a mid-size luxury SUV with a slightly lower weight than the Expedition. Still, it starts at around 90 million won ( about $ 68,027) for a luxury brand model, so it feels relatively cheap. Its competitor in the same class, the Chevrolet Tahoe, does not exceed 100 million won ( about $ 75 585). Therefore, a price cut is needed when a new Expedition is launched in South Korea.
