- Ford has teased the 2025 Expedition, ahead of its debut next month.
- The model will follow in the footsteps of the Lincoln Navigator and have a bold new face as well as a Split Gate.
- Power will be provided by a familiar twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 producing up to 440 hp.
Ford has released the first teaser image of the 2025 Expedition, ahead of its debut on October 3. However, it isn’t much of a surprise as undisguised prototypes have been running around Detroit and Lincoln introduced the 2025 Navigator in August.
That being said, the teaser image is pretty revealing as it shows the full-size SUV will have an all-new front fascia with a wide grille that is surrounded by a thin illuminated strip. We can also get a glimpse at slender headlights and a small intake, which is located just below the grille.

The rest of the design is pretty familiar as it largely carries over from the Navigator. This means there’s rounded wheel arches, a prominent character line, and an odd kink in the beltline.
Out back, we can expect an all-new Split Gate that echoes the one found on the Navigator. The top three-quarters rise like a traditional liftgate, while the bottom lowers like a conventional tailgate.
The Split Gate isn’t the only radical departure as the cabin has been completely reimagined and loosely follows in the footsteps of the Navigator. However, it trades the massive 48-inch pillar-to-pillar display for a smaller screen that is mounted on top of the dashboard. It’s joined by a secondary display, which apparently functions as a traditional infotainment system.
Elsewhere, there are vertical air vents and a row of physical controls below the infotainment system. The model also sports a wide center console as well as contrast stitching on the Tremor variant.
While the Navigator is powered exclusively by a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 with 440 hp (328 kW / 446 PS) and 510 lb-ft (691 Nm) of torque, the outgoing Expedition has three different outputs including the aforementioned figure. Entry-level variants have 380 hp (283 kW / 385 PS) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque, while the Limited, King Ranch and Platinum have 400 hp (298 kW / 406 PS) and 480 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque.
