The new Ford Expedition adds Android Automotive and half of the Lincoln’s panoramic screen
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.
