Al-Jazirah Vehicles Agencies, the sole authorized dealer of Ford and Lincoln vehicles in Saudi Arabia, has announced the launch of the new Ford Expedition 2018 in the Kingdom during a special event held in Riyadh. The launch was attended by businessmen, journalists, and Ford senior officials and clients.
Al-Jazirah Vehicles Agencies Deputy CEO Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Fahad Al-Kraidees said: “We are delighted to offer Ford’s full-size SUV model, the Ford Expedition 2018. Uniquely designed and more luxurious than ever before, the enhancements made on its design reflect our clients’ desires based on extensive customer research. We are certain that the Expedition 2018 will push the presence of this deep-rooted brand in the Kingdom to new heights.”
“This event is very important as the all-new Ford Expedition 2018 will redefine the standards of the full-size SUV market with its superior interior and exterior designs and unique smart technology. We expect these factors to have tremendous appeal for our clients,” he added.
The new Ford Expedition is updated with the latest “must-have” connectivity features, driver-assist technology and premium convenience amenities — including multiple class-exclusive features:
l Advanced Cargo Manager and class-exclusive cargo protector provides the ability to customize the cargo space behind the third row seating with a shelf or rear bulkhead.
l Dual-Headrest Rear Seat Entertainment System includes two eight-inch screens integrated into the rear of the front-seat head restraints. A pair of wireless headsets can be paired with either monitor.
l Wireless inductive charging capability comes via a wireless charging pad — for compatible mobile devices — located in the storage bin at the front of the center console.
l Ford’s driver-selectable Terrain Management System (TMS), with seven drive modes on 4WD models, appears on the Expedition for the first time, offering greater “go anywhere” confidence.
l 12-speaker B&O PLAY premium audio system perfected by acoustic engineers.
l Power for passengers in every row, with four 12-volt power points, six USB chargers and 220-volt power outlet that lets passengers stay charged and connected.
The new Expedition has a roomy, flexible interior. With seating for up to eight people and room for their gear, this full-size SUV is expected to make modern family adventures more comfortable during short and long trips.
