When it comes to hardcore off-road performance models, I believe many people will think of Jeep's Wrangler model, and its comprehensive strength since years of sales is naturally beyond doubt. However, a few days ago, Ford brought an official picture of a new model Bronco Raptor, which is based on the ordinary version of the model, with deeper enhancements and better off-road performance.
It is reported that the new car will be officially launched overseas this summer, and will compete with the Wranglers in the future. At the same time, overseas media exposed its price, starting from $69,995, or about 443,000 yuan. For reference, the Wrangler Overseas Guide is priced at $76,395 and the F-150 Raptor starts at $67,070.
In terms of appearance, although the car is based on the ordinary version, due to the positioning of the hard SUV, it adopts a more rigid bracketing design, the wide black wheel eyebrows on both sides make it very hardcore, and the square front grille and the round headlight group have a high degree of recognition. In addition, the new car offers two different styles of front face options.
In the side part, the new car adopts a detachable roof design, which seems to have become the "standard design" of many hardcore SUVs, revealing a stronger tough guy style after disassembly. However, the new car is more of an improvement in terms of data, the new car has a minimum ground clearance of 333 mm, a proximity angle of 47.2 degrees, a departure angle of 40.5 degrees, a pass angle of 30.8 degrees, and comes standard with 37-inch Bailuchi KO2 tires and anti-off-road wheels. In addition, the width of the new car is increased compared to the regular version, the front suspension travel is increased by 60%, the rear suspension travel is increased by 40%, and the overall performance in terms of off-road performance is excellent.
In contrast, the rear part of the new car is slightly more ordinary, basically following the design of the ordinary version of the model, and the full-size spare tire of the external type adds a bit of wildness. In terms of the interior, the overall use of a more regular design, a large number of flat straight line design to create a more tough feeling, while equipped with a more rigid barrier, enhance the sense of strength of the vehicle. In addition, in order to highlight its unique identity, many orange design elements and raptor logos have been added to the car.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 3.0T V6 twin-turbo engine, which will have a maximum power of more than 400 horsepower, matching a 10AT gearbox. However, the chassis aspect is the highlight of the new car, and it has made corresponding improvements in the chassis and suspension, including the addition of a high-performance off-road stability suspension (HOSS) system, as well as fox semi-active shock absorbers, which has a better off-road experience overall
The editor said: From the overall point of view, in fact, the product strength of the new car is still quite attractive, and it has a higher cost performance than other models of the same level in general, which is to give the opponent a lot of pressure. At the same time, according to the previous news, the new car is likely to introduce domestic sales, to know that now in the domestic market hardcore SUV field, Jeep's Wrangler still occupies a very large user group, until the emergence of tank 300 to compete with it, and if the new car is introduced for sale, this is undoubtedly a better choice for consumers, but with reference to its current overseas price, it is estimated that it will still have to reduce the price after coming in, or like the Wrangler equipped with 2.0T power to pull down the price.
