And the time comes to 2022, the most important model for Jiangling Ford is undoubtedly the new mid-size SUV - Lingrui.
Lingrui was first officially unveiled at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, and has previously been shown as an Equalist Sport, which has also made many domestic users think that it has a direct connection with Lingyu. But from all dimensions, it is a brand new model. Recently, we also learned that the new car will officially open pre-sale on January 10, and it is planned to be launched in early 2022. So for this new mid-size SUV, whether it is in line with your taste, and what are the main competitors in the future, let's take a look at it today.
About the appearance and interior of this car, there have been many introductions before, and the author has also explained it in detail, so today we will briefly review it. The new car is also based on the Ford potential energy aesthetic design concept, based on this concept also Ford EVOS and Lingyu, 3D honeycomb grille with two sides of the split headlights, the visual effect is more fierce.
The side lines of the body are smooth, the front waist line that runs through the body is softer, and the back waist line is thicker to create a good sense of muscle. The body size is 4630/1935/1706mm, and the wheelbase is 2726mm, which is not too much of an advantage in this level, and it is decent, after all, the current SUVs are all bigger than one.
The interior design is relatively simple, equipped with a large size of the central control screen, built-in Ford Co-Pilot360 intelligent driving assistance system and Tencent TAI3.0 automotive intelligent system, in the joint venture brand, the performance of this system is actually quite good, and most of the independent brands in the use of experience is good.

In the power part, the new car is equipped with Ford's latest 1.5T EcoBoost 170 engine, with a maximum output of 170 horsepower and a maximum torque of 260 Nm, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. It is worth mentioning that this is not the three-cylinder reduced engine above the Fox, but a new set of four-cylinder engines, which is also the first time that the engine has been installed on a production model.
Who are the competitors:
Although Jiangling Ford said that the impression of domestic consumers is mostly commercial vehicles, after Ford released the 2.0 strategy, it also quickly opened the transformation, and several SUV models launched have left a good impression on everyone. Although Lingrui is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, according to the tone of Jiangling Ford, it should give it a misplaced competitive price, so that it can compete with mainstream joint venture compact SUVs and some high-quality independent brand SUVs.
In this field, such as Volkswagen Tuyue, Honda CR-V and Hoshikoshi L, these models have a very good market performance, especially CR-V is the top position of the joint venture brand SUV for many years. The Star Yue L has also been crowned with a new ceiling model of its own brand, and the market response is very good. And if Lingrui wants to get the market from them, it undoubtedly needs to show great sincerity.
summary:
The rapid launch of Lingrui also makes everyone see the ambition of Jiangling Ford in the passenger car market, and Lingrui's good appearance and intelligence, if combined with a very competitive price, may really make it harvest a good market. However, although the domestic SUV market is in huge demand, it is also fiercely competitive, and the competitive pressure in this price range it is in is far higher than that of Lingyu, so what kind of market performance it can obtain, let's wait and see.
