The Jiangling Ford brand has a background of "business transfer", and it also hangs the Ford logo, but its models are mainly based on the domestic market research and development, and the price is more grounded. The price of the new medium-sized SUV Lingrui is very "breakthrough" - the minimum configuration is 139,800 yuan, and the top configuration does not exceed 170,000 yuan, which lowers the threshold of the joint venture medium-sized SUV.
Motivation and test drive
Powerly, the 1.5T EcoBoost170 engine is standard, which is manufactured by Jiangling, using Ford technology and using Honeywell Small Inertia high-speed turbochargers, so that engine efficiency can be ranked among the first-line levels.
In terms of parameters, the maximum power is 125 kW and the peak torque is 260 N·m. Since Lingrui is mainly close to the high-end model price and the low-equipped price of German-Japanese compact SUVs, Lingrui will have more advantages than the 2.0L TNGA platform engine, the 1.5T Earth Dream engine and the 1.4T Volkswagen engine.
And in the actual driving experience, this power system also has surprises, low-section acceleration is very light, the middle and high sections are very smooth, the engine noise control is ideal, and the sound is also better. The drivetrain is mated to a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission from Magna, which is very well matched, smooth at low to medium speeds, without any pulling sensation.
The quality of the chassis is also not bad, when the road surface is damaged at high speed, the sound transmitted into the driver's ear has the isolation of the thick chassis, and the body rigidity and NVH processing can be perceived through the sound.
Exterior and interior design
Lingrui's design language is very new, the front face adopts a large-scale octagonal mesh grille design, coupled with a split headlight that can pull up the visual focus, showing a youthful and athletic temperament.
On the side, the window is a circle of silver chrome, the chrome under the roof line extends all the way to the rear, the sill is also silver, and the silver gray metallic color of the wheel hubs creates a sense of refinement.
The wheel rim of the photographed vehicle is 20 inches, which is slightly different from the 19-inch wheels of the production version of the top model. The broken waistline in the rear half extends all the way to the rear, so that the visual focus of the rear is also higher, which is conducive to improving the aura.
The whole appearance, "width" is a relatively distinct visual symbol, Lingrui has a body width of more than 1.9 meters, in contrast, Honda CR-V, Toyota Rongfang, Volkswagen Tanyue and other Ashkenazi Japanese main models are more than 1.8 meters less than 1.9 meters wide.
A wider body tends to be more advantageous for lateral space when the rear seat is full of 3 people. The performance of the rear row of the Lingrui is also true, the setting of the middle seat is flat and wide, and the floor of the rear of the Lingrui is also close to flat.
In terms of interior, Lingrui's style is the main sense of technology, and the full LCD instrument and the large screen of the car machine are 12.3 inches. The 64-color mood light looks good but only has the top. The whole material is not impeccable in terms of the price of 150,000 levels, using a certain proportion of soft materials. But its soft materials are still different from the soft materials of those 200,000-class models, and the sense of grade is slightly weaker. Also I'm not happy with its steering wheel leather, sticky hands and thin and hard.
The small platform design in the middle of the co-pilot dashboard is interesting, and the trim is exquisite and beautiful, which can put the mobile phone.
The car machine adopts Tencent's system, but the development is not hot, and the interface design is not very good. I think Jiangling Ford can be a little more delicate, and it is recommended that the R & D department recruit some young female engineers to polish the aesthetics and humanized details of the car machine.
The driver concluded with >>>
Lingrui design is very hard to embrace youth, but the details are occasionally rough and large, but considering the price can also be forgiven, power performance and silence are the highlights.
Jiangling Ford's characteristics are "Ford's brand, independent pricing", Lingrui such a large car main configuration of only 150,000 levels, it is indeed very affordable, and the current large social and economic situation is also in line with the current situation, I believe it will attract a lot of good family men favor.
