For consumers who want to buy a joint venture medium and large SUV, it seems that the price of how to choose will not be very cheap, such as the volkswagen Touron price of 292,000 yuan, buick Encore banner price of 299,900 yuan, Ford Explorer price of 309,800 yuan, about 300,000 yuan is the entry price of the joint venture medium and large SUV, so is the price of domestic medium and large SUV cheap? For example, Haval H9 is priced at 214,800 yuan, Lynk & Co 09 is priced at 265,900 yuan, and Xingtu is priced at 193,900 yuan per month, the price is indeed cheaper than the joint venture medium and large SUVs, but it is not "close to the people", and it is unrealistic to want to buy medium and high-end models within 200,000. If your car purchase budget is within 200,000 yuan, is it impossible to choose a joint venture medium and large SUV?
You can look at Ford Lingyu, it is built by Jiangling Ford, priced at 16.98-22.18 million yuan, the price range is cheaper than most domestic medium and large SUVs, the cost performance is still very high, but I do not have much good feelings about this car, always feel that it "hangs sheep's head to sell dog meat", the reason is that the 2.0T engine it is equipped with is not a real ECOBOOST engine, although its model is ECOBEOOST4G20D6L. The real ECOBOOST engine prefix is CAF, such as the Ford Ruiji 2.0T engine model is CAF488WQE6, the new Mondeo 2.0T engine model is CAF488WQC, the prefix is ECOBOOOST instead of THE ECOBOOST engine, which is the typical "silverless three hundred and two here", just cover the ears and ring the bell.
There is also a point that can prove that its 2.0T engine is not an ECOBOOST engine, Changan Ford's 2.0T ECOBOOST engine matches the 8AT gearbox, while Lingyu's 2.0T engine matches a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, its maximum power is 224 horsepower, the maximum torque is 360 Nm, although the book data is not bad, but the more extreme tuning style than the 2.0T ECOBOOST engine is obviously different. For example, for Example, ford's 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 248 horsepower and a maximum torque of 393 Nm, and Lingyu's 2.0T engine is almost interesting.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of Lingyu are 4905 * 1930 * 1755mm, the wheelbase is 2865mm, said to be a medium and large SUV, in fact, closer to the medium-sized SUV, to toyota Highlander as a reference, its length, width and height are 4965 * 1930 * 1750mm, the wheelbase is 2850mm, the body size of the two is very close, and even the length of the Highlander is more advantageous, but the Highlander is a medium-sized SUV, so to see, the positioning of the Lingyu is somewhat "flashy" However, its entry price of less than 170,000 yuan is also quite advantageous in the joint venture mid-size SUV, and from this point of view, it is very cost-effective.
In terms of seats, Lingyu offers 5/6/7 seat models, and the space of the third row of seats is quite spacious. According to the owner's reputation, its disadvantages are large interior odor, tire noise, wind noise, small discount, urban road section costs, interiors are easy to dirty, low speed setbacks, etc.; the advantages are high configuration, power is enough, seat comfort, large space, reasonable storage space design, high-grade interior materials, reasonable steering wheel weight, etc. So, what about ford lingyu sales? Let's move on.
Through the sales trend chart of Lingyu, this car is "listed at the peak", and then it is all the way down, especially into 2022, and sales have declined seriously, such as its sales of 871 units in January and 640 units in February. Why do you think Ford Lingyu can't sell it?
