All along, the joint venture medium SUV in people's minds are mostly in the 20 tens of thousands of prices, but the recent Jiangling Ford launch of Lingrui broke the consumer's cognition of the joint venture medium SUV, 13.98-16.58 million yuan of guidance price, comparable to the joint venture compact SUV price range, compared to the domestic independent brand also has a good cost performance, so in addition to the price advantage, what are its highlights? Let's move on.
In terms of appearance, Lingrui adopts Ford's latest family design language, the polygonal grille of the front face is filled with a delicate mesh structure, the headlights are designed in a split type, and the daytime running lights with inverted "L" shapes on both sides are narrow and long, and the middle is connected by a chrome trim strip to create a penetrating effect.
The side of the body has been modified by a number of raised lines, showing the unique sense of strength of the American car, and the chrome decoration around the window and the side skirt has been appropriately added, so that the sense of refinement has been well enhanced.
The rear of the car has been outlined by a large number of horizontal lines, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, and the taillights with the same inverted "L" shape echo the front and back of the daytime running lights, and have a good visual effect after lighting.
Entering the car, the center console as a whole looks relatively simple, but it is not outdated in the construction of the sense of science and technology, the zun-collar type and the zun-collar plus are equipped with a dual-screen design composed of a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and a 12.3-inch central control screen, while the fine-collar type and the platinum-neck type are 7-inch LCD instruments and a 12.3-inch central control screen combination. Built-in Tencent TAI4.0 car machine system, the whole series of models not only equipped with car navigation, navigation road information display, mobile phone interconnection mapping, voice recognition control, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade and other functions, but also can support iQiyi and other entertainment functions.
The three-spoke flat-bottom multi-function steering wheel on the left is wrapped in leather materials, and there are chrome strips and punched hole designs on it, which enhances the sense of grade and sportiness to a certain extent.
In terms of configuration, in addition to some more conventional configurations, the entry-level version of the elite type is also equipped with rear parking radar, reversing image, cruise control, open panoramic sunroof, keyless entry/start, remote start and other functions. Compared with the fine collar type, the platinum-neck type is only 4,000 yuan more expensive, but it has more comprehensive active safety configurations including lane departure warning, forward collision warning, active braking, parallel assist, lane keeping assist, etc., which can achieve L1-level assisted driving. In my opinion, the platinum-neck configuration is the most cost-effective.
Secondly, you can also choose the sub-top with the prestigious collar type, compared with the platinum collar type, it is 12,000 yuan more expensive, and there are many more comfort configurations such as 360 ° panoramic image, full-speed adaptive cruise, electric trunk, trunk position memory, mobile phone wireless charging, and many comfort features such as one-button lift of the car window, anti-pinching of the window, electric folding of the rearview mirror, rear privacy glass and so on.
In terms of size, Lingrui has a length, width and height of 4630/1935/1706mm and a wheelbase of 2726mm, from the book data, although the length and wheelbase only belong to the entry-level level of medium-sized SUVs, but the width of 1935mm belongs to the leading position, in addition to ensuring leg and head space, the lateral space is also excellent, even in the full load state does not appear crowded. Depending on the configuration, the seats are made of imitation leather or leather materials, the seat shape is wide, with good support, the rear seat backrest elevation angle is large, and the middle platform is flat, which is a good help to improve comfort.
In terms of power, Lingrui is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which can output a maximum power of 125kW and a maximum torque of 260N·m, and actually opens up, in the half section of the throttle, Lingrui will not have a feeling of strenuousness, after all, from 1500rpm can output peak torque, this power output is quite confident, but after 80km/h per hour, its acceleration is not as smooth as the half of the throttle front.
The chassis adopts the combination of McPherson independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension, chassis tuning is a more active type in the family car, it will be part of the ground information transmitted to the driver and occupants, and has enough support when cornering at high speed.
As a joint venture medium-sized SUV, the starting price of 139,800 yuan and the price span of only 26,000 yuan show that it has put down its body, has the mentality of competing with the compact SUV, the dual screen design and rich configuration with a strong sense of technology, even if it is placed in the compact SUV, it still has a lot of competitiveness, but if you want to get more recognition from young consumers, you have to make a certain effort in rejuvenation.
