Naming aside, the really big news about the BZ is it is light years ahead of the one it is replacing. We also feature those efficient gas-powered vehicles that are among the top mpg vehicles in their class.
Of course, the downside for so much power in such a big vehicle is fuel economy. The 2025 Expedition gets EPA ratings of just 15/22/18 mpg with four-wheel drive and 16/24/19 mpg with rear-wheel drive. Exterior lighting illuminates the surrounding area to keep the party going into the night.
The seamless clamshell hood closes to a slit where the rectangular projector LED lights peek out from the far edges of the curved nose. The LED tail lights, which replicate the rectangular design of the headlights, have a horizontal light bar with a small square pattern running the full width of the hands-free lift gate.
Of course, there are also improvements to fuel economy alongside performance thanks to this new system. Subaru says the EPA-estimated combined output of 35 MPG is largely on par with competitors thanks to a few factors, but everyones going to see the combined output of the RAV4 and CR-V Hybrids and notice the bigger number.
The Symbol and Animation projection function is part of the Digital Light Package, a $1,200 option. The EQE 500 and 4MATIC badges frame the iconic Mercedes-Benz tri-star logo, and sit below the LED light bar that connects the tail lights, which feature a distinctive helix design.
