Today, under the prevalence of the three-child epidemic, more and more consumers' demand for vehicles has changed, and the family can easily get the whole family from a 5-seater car, but now it is becoming more and more crowded. Therefore, for many people, changing a large 6-seater/7-seater has become a rigid demand.
Looking at the 7-seater models on the market today, in terms of relatively unpopular MPV, the remaining 7-seat SUVs can be regarded as hierarchical, in addition to the "pseudo-seven-seater" of about 100,000-200,000, the rest is 200,000-300,000 joint venture 7-seat SUVs represented by Highlander. Of course, if your pursuit of quality is a little higher, there are still good options for a budget of more than 300,000, such as the recently launched Tank 500 and the upcoming Ford New Explorer.
Regarding these two cars, it should be said that they were "accidental encounters". The Tank 500, which is the ceiling of a domestic SUV, has been expected since it was first unveiled at auto shows. The Ford Explorer, on the other hand, has always been a "treasure product" for a 300,000-level joint venture medium and large SUV. So when the tank 500 is priced at more than 300,000, the two naturally meet. Today, let's take a look at how to choose between the two of them to "understand the car"?
First of all, from the appearance of the comparison, as a large 7-seat SUV without compromise, both cars are standard big. First of all, the tank 500, this car is very familiar to everyone, as a popular product in the domestic product, one of the success factors of the tank 500 is to rely on a very intimidating appearance, thick net, towering front, full LED headlights, straight lines with large size hubs, so that the tank 500 looks very domineering, mighty. Moreover, in order to meet different aesthetic preferences, the Tank 500 offers two designs, the business version and the sports version. In terms of size, the tank 500 was 4878 (5070)/1934/1905mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase was 2850mm. The reason why the two versions will be different is precisely because the business version did not choose to add an external spare tire to the tailgate.
Looking at Ford's new Explorer, as a newly designed modified model, ford's new Explorer changes in appearance are still more obvious. If the current model is wild, domineering, then Ford's new explorer is on this basis to add a touch of refinement, in addition to the shape of the grille design is more square, the top trim and the two sides of the headlights connected, according to the picture may be made into a through-type luminous bar, with the cover on the horizontal arrangement of the letter logo, the sense of refinement is indeed a lot better. In addition, according to the netizens, the new ford explorer will also use a new taillight group, and the recognition has been improved. And its size, at present, the official has not released the data, basically can refer to the current model.
In terms of interior, the two cars are similar in style, and both are mainly luxurious. However, since the complete interior information of Ford's new explorer has not been released, we do not know the details of its design for the time being. According to netizens, Ford's new explorer will also use a large size similar to Mondeo to run through the screen horizontally, while the interior becomes more luxurious. In contrast, the interior of the tank 500 is also the main luxury, with wood grain trims everywhere, clocks on the center console, a large suspension screen, a full LCD and a diamond-shaped lattice leather seat, making it look simple and outstanding. Regarding the interior design, the two are nothing more than different styles, but the degree of luxury is inseparable.
As for the configuration level, the level of these two cars does not need to be questioned, first of all, their average selling price has exceeded 300,000 yuan, which is already considered to be a high-end level from the car price. Moreover, among them, the tank 500 has always been known for its rich configuration, while Ford at the other end has always won by the configuration advantage in the joint venture car series. So, no matter how comfortable, safe, and intelligent, their configuration will not disappoint you.
Conclusion: Finally, there is the power level, which is also the most interesting place for these two cars. The tank 500 comes standard with a 3.0T V6 turbocharged engine, mated to a 9AT gearbox, with a maximum horsepower of 354 hp and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. Ford's new Explorer is still equipped with the familiar 2.3T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 276 hp and a maximum torque of 425 Nm, matching a 10AT gearbox. So, if you had to choose, which car would you choose?
