What Upgrades Have Been Made to the 2025 Ford Expedition Active?
Cosmetic changes abound in the Expedition Active—they include grille tweaks, new head- and tail lights, and new wheel designs for a fresher appearance. The cargo area now has a two-piece opening via an upper liftgate and lower tailgate, much like the updated Lincoln Navigator.
Inside, there’s a new bi-level screen, with the large infotainment display on the center dash, while the unit above shows the gauges and additional information. This redesign makes the controls easier to see and access, according to Car and Driver.
Is the 2025 Ford Expedition Active a Powerful SUV?
The Expedition features a standard twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 that generates 400 horsepower, and 480 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear- or four-wheel drive. An optional version gives you a little more juice, at 440 horsepower.
This powerhouse engine allows the Active to have real get up and go in comparison to some of its competitors, and it can tow up to 9,600 pounds. The Active gets 19 mpg combined—this breaks down to 17 mpg/city, and 23 mpg making it among the best in class.
What Technology Features Are Seen On the Ford Expedition Active?
There are two interior options for the Active—one built for performance, the other for comfort.
Whatever you choose, both are spacious—third row bench seats have ample legroom, even for the tallest adults. The option built for comfort has ActiveX seating material and captain's chairs for the second row, giving you a considerably more plush experience with a bit of extra space when compared to the bench seats of the former.
The dash display screen is, at 24.0-inches, massive. It holds the gauge cluster. A second smaller display sits below and gives the driver easy access to the infotainment system, which features onboard wi-fi, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and capabilities for over-the-air updates.
