As we all know, the performance of U.S. cars in China is not eye-catching, slow product upgrading and lack of brand power have become an important factor restricting the development of U.S. cars, and in order to fundamentally solve the problem, the U.S. brands after entering 2022 can be described as "all in one force", one after another exposed a number of new cars, especially the launch of new cars such as Mondeo, Fox, EVOS, etc., making Changan Ford the focus of everyone's attention, and today we want to be a mid-term modification car newly released by Changan Ford - Explorer, according to the previous product planning of Changan Ford, the new Explorer will be officially launched in May.
Although it is only a mid-term change, the new explorers have made relatively large adjustments in many aspects, and the degree of change is comparable to the replacement, what is the strength of the new explorers? Can it become the benchmark for the current large and medium-sized SUV market? Let's take a closer look.
Judging from the official picture released, the new explorer has made a relatively large adjustment in the front face, the front face of the "囧" font that has been complained about before has been improved, a new language design has been replaced, the large-area U-shaped grille is particularly exquisite under the decoration of dot matrix chrome elements, the grille is also equipped with two air intakes on both sides, and the two sides of the light group are connected through the middle of the through-led LED light strip, stretching the horizontal visual effect of the front face at the same time, but also showing a side of the science fiction concept, the front surround has also made certain adjustments, Chrome trim strips have been added, and the multiple powerful lines above the hood are "intimidating", further reinforcing the hardcore atmosphere of the front face.
Compared with the front face, the body side of the new explorer has not changed much, basically continuing the shape of the current model, the line shows the sense of strength that the American hardcore model should have, the raised waist line extends from the A pillar to the taillights, stretching the horizontal visual effect at the same time, it also brings a good sense of layering, the B pillar is blackened, creating the effect of the suspension car, and in terms of wheels, the large-size alloy wheels look cool, and the latest style of wheel hubs has been added.
In terms of the tail, the shape outline of the new explorer basically continues the current model, but the taillight design has been optimized, and a light group similar to the sharp angle has been added inside, and the effect after lighting is more sci-fi, bringing higher recognition.
From the previous declaration information, it is understood that the length, width and height of the new explorers are 5063/2004/1778mm, the wheelbase is 3025mm, compared with the current model, the length is slightly shortened, the wheelbase remains unchanged, which can be said to be a slight adjustment of the body structure, the impact on the space should not be very large, the seat layout, will use 6 seats and 7 seat layout.
In terms of interior, the new explorer can be said to keep up with the trend of the development of the times, joined the family's latest conjoined large screen, replaced the previous vertical large screen, from the perspective of the breath presented, it is obvious that the new model is more sci-fi concept, in addition, like the knob shift mechanism, flat-bottom steering wheel and other popular configurations are also reflected, and in the workmanship of the material thick a lot, black and brown two-color collocation to create a good sense of luxury, such an interior is indeed very interesting.
In terms of power, the new Explorer will continue the current model, equipped with a 2.3T turbocharged engine, the power transmission is matched by a 10AT gearbox, the maximum power is 203kW, the peak torque is 425N·m, and it is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system, and the power performance can be said to be very strong, surpassing most models in the same class.
In general, the new Explorer's redesign is very necessary, the previous slot point has been well improved, further catering to the aesthetic and needs of consumers, if the new car can continue the price of the current model, I believe that the performance after the listing should be improved. Regarding the new insurance seekers, do you think they can sell well?
