Standard double screen, starting at 90,800 yuan, can FordForris still be saved?
The automobile consumer market will not remain static, such as the hot Ford brand in previous years, because of the obsession with the "three cylinders" fell to the altar, today's Ford in order to cater to the young consumer market, through its products to show a strong "desire to survive", whether it is product pricing or functional configuration, or product design, it is more sincere than the same level of joint venture brand models. For example, the new Ford Forros, the guidance price of 9.08-11.68 million yuan, the price almost overlaps with the pricing of the same level of independent brand models, the top price is not even as good as the starting price of Volkswagen Langyi, the whole series is equipped with a double screen configuration, the configuration material is comparable to the domestic "conscience", the shortcomings are still obvious, the iron "three cylinders", the design of the flowing water. So, can Ford Forros still be saved?
In terms of appearance, the new Ford Ford Forris has a new face in advance before the arrival of the new Ford Mondeo, using an irregular hexagonal chrome honeycomb grille design, and the tough hood rib line matches the sharp LED headlight group shape at both ends of the front, which strengthens the visual impact of the front face. In addition, the large area of chrome decoration on the front face makes the front face more delicate, and the chrome trim strips are connected to the left and right headlights, which further enhances the recognition of the front face. Compared with the previous design, the new Ford Ford Forres is more youthful and fashionable, catering to the aesthetic orientation of today's young consumers.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new Forres are: 4633/1825/1490mm, wheelbase 2687mm, the size is decent, and there is no excessive highlight. In addition, the side lines of the new car are more rounded and delicate, and the simple and smooth waist line extends along the front fenders to the rear of the car, with a 16-inch multi-frame wheel shape, showing a fashionable and three-dimensional design style.
In the rear part of the car, the line elements are still mainly smooth and delicate, and the classic ducktail shape is retained at the rear of the car, which has a strong fashion atmosphere. In addition, there is a slender chrome trim strip above the rear license plate light and the LED "lightning" taillights on both sides of the rear of the car, which echo the front face headlight shape, and match the double chrome exhaust decoration on both sides of the bottom of the rear, showing a delicate and full visual texture.
In terms of interior, the new Forres completely subverted our previous inherent impression of the joint venture brand model, as a joint venture compact car with a starting price of less than 100,000 yuan, the new car is equipped with a standard 10.25-inch + 10.25-inch dual screen design, unfortunately, the low-end models do not support GPS navigation, OTA upgrade, car networking, voice recognition control and other car functions, and the air conditioning adjustment method is still manually adjusted, and the whole series is not equipped with a rear exhaust air outlet. It can be seen that the interior of the new Forres has made great efforts in the creation of a sense of science and technology, but it is still unsatisfactory in terms of practical configuration, and it cannot be compared with the domestic car configuration.
In terms of power, the new Forres follows the conservatively criticized 1.5L three-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of up to 122 horsepower and a peak torque of 152N·m, and in terms of transmission system, it is matched by a 6AT gearbox, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 5.7L/100km. After practical testing, the three-cylinder powertrain "personality" of the new Forres has not changed in the slightest, with a zero hundred acceleration performance of 13.27 seconds and a comprehensive road condition fuel consumption of 7.3L per 100 kilometers, which not only has a decent acceleration performance, but also has not much of a bright spot in fuel consumption. Overall, this powertrain is still the biggest shortcoming of the Forres model.
epilogue
Overall, the new Ford Forres after the mid-term redesign has undergone visible changes to the naked eye, and this change is obviously towards the young consumer market, the exterior design adds more chrome elements and new design elements, more exquisite, and the car is equipped with a double screen after becoming more interior technology, I believe that the new Forres can only rely on these two points to get more young consumers' favor. However, although the new Forres is successful in "plastic surgery", its "personality" is still the same, and I am afraid that the three-cylinder power will become the biggest shackle that hinders consumers from considering starting.
