FLO Auto Korea has officially introduced the all-new Ford Expedition Platinum, the flagship large SUV, to the South Korean market.
This fifth-generation model represents a significant overhaul of the vehicle, which has sold over 3 million units worldwide since its debut in 1996. Ford emphasized that over 1,100 hours of consumer interviews informed the development process, leading to substantial improvements in space utilization and digital connectivity.
The exterior design retains a commanding presence while featuring refined lines. A black grille integrated with daytime running lights dominates the front, while the sides are accented by 24-inch aluminum wheels and power-deployable running boards. A notable new feature at the rear is Ford's split tailgate, with the lower section designed to support up to 227 kg, allowing it to function as a bench during outdoor activities.
