On March 28, Jiangling Ford's new medium-sized SUV Lingrui was listed, and the new car launched a total of four models, with a price range of 139,800-165,800 yuan, as a new model landed in the "Ford China 2.0" strategy, and also the first model launched by Jiangling Ford after the establishment of the technology company at the end of 2021, positioned between the previously launched Collar and Lingyu two cars, the official statement is a wide-body high-energy pioneer SUV, focusing on the family car market. It is worth noting that the starting price of entry-level models is less than 140,000 yuan, even if it is a top-end model, it is less than 170,000 yuan, so pragmatic pricing soon triggered a wave of hot discussion on the Internet.
As we all know, the user group of household SUVs often has more demanding requirements for cars, with high appearance, large space, strong power, good comfort, and to keep up with the trend of science and technology, and it cannot be too expensive. Can Jiangling Ford Lingrui enter their eyes? Take a look at the fresh experience of this issue of our Chewen Channel.
With a wide body design, the space is the highlight
Taking a car by appearance is a common phenomenon today, so for a new car, the first impression must not be lost. This point, Jiangling Ford Lingrui grasped very well, using Ford's "potential energy aesthetics" design language, in line with the current popular aesthetics.
It is not enough to pass the aesthetic barrier, and the family user group also has a stubborn pursuit of space. In fact, this is not just because of face, but the real needs of pragmatism, after all, in the case of a car, large space means more functional. And Jiangling Ford Lingrui just grasped this core pain point.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4630/1935/1706mm, and the wheelbase is 2726mm. From the perspective of the "three-dimensional" ratio, this is a typical wide-body large body, although it is only a five-seat SUV, but the width of the car reaches 1935mm, which has a certain advantage in the same class.
The 2726mm wheelbase is also in line with the positioning of the mid-size SUV, and for the front seat of the front passenger, it is not only spacious enough horizontally, but also in the longitudinal direction. In addition to the comfort brought by the large space, there is also a small detail in the design, for most models, the driver's field of vision is often blocked by the engine compartment cover, resulting in a blind spot in the front and bottom vision, affecting driving safety, and Lingrui through the optimization of the engine compartment design, to achieve 6.4 degrees of ultra-wide driver front and bottom vision, can be a wider driving vision, to further ensure driving safety.
Looking at the key rear seat space indicators, the 295mm aisle space combined with the rear flat platform, even passengers sitting in the middle of the rear seat can enjoy excellent comfort. The official rear leg space is 117mm, and according to our actual measurements, even if the small editor with a height of 191cm sits in the back row, the leg space also has a distance of one punch and three fingers, if it is an ordinary height user, this space will be larger. In addition, the large C-pillar window design improves the view of the rear row and further guarantees comfort.
In addition, in terms of storage space, the basic volume of the trunk reaches 448L, and after expansion, it reaches 1422L, which can easily accommodate the travel supplies of a family. In addition, the design of the storage compartment in the car is also very outstanding, in the central handrail area, the co-pilot area and the door area, there are more than 20 storage compartments of various types, which can arrange the various small items of the family properly.
Driver assistance system + intelligent cockpit, high safety and playability
In today's rapid development of science and technology, intelligence has gradually become a just need, especially for young people, and the second highlight of Jiangling Ford Lingrui is intelligent technology. At present, the intelligence of 200,000-class joint venture SUV models is generally insufficient, and Jiangling Ford Lingrui has successfully hit a value difference.
First of all, in addition to the low-end model, the car is also equipped with the Ford Co-Pilot360 Intelligent Driving Assistance System, which adopts radar + vision integration scheme, has more than 20 intelligent driving assistance functions, and realizes L2 level intelligent driving ability in the full-speed segment.
It should be known that Jiangling Ford Lingrui is only a fuel vehicle with a price of about 150,000 yuan, and a pure electric vehicle known for intelligent technology, intelligent driving assistance ability to reach this level, the starting price is basically about 200,000 yuan.
When the car is driving on the highway, the fifth generation of ACC full speed domain intelligent adaptive cruise control system can independently judge the distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front and behind, and automatically control the speed to maintain a safe distance. If it is in the traffic flow, slow speed, frequent start and stop of the road conditions, you can also do automatic with the car queue, its stop is stopped, its walk is to go.
At the same time, it is also equipped with DCLC light lane change function, after the driver presses the turn signal, the vehicle will automatically detect and judge according to the surrounding environment, and help the driver change the vehicle to the adjacent lane under the premise of ensuring safety, which is very convenient and practical.
And in the parking encounter narrow parking space, even the old driver will be more headache, and Jiangling Ford Lingrui's APA5.0 fusion visual automatic parking assistance system, is really able to achieve one-click automatic parking, completely do not need the driver to do any more operations, and can accurately identify a variety of solid lines, dotted lines, standard, non-standard parking spaces, and other obstacles, can cope with the width of +80cm vertical parking spaces and length +80cm horizontal parking spaces.
In addition, there is a 50-meter LRAS follow the reversing function, which can automatically record the driving trajectory, if you need to reverse, you only need to control the speed, and the vehicle will automatically reverse and return. This function is very practical in narrow sections and spaces such as alleys, alleys, alleys, etc., especially for novices, basically can walk the streets and alleys calmly.
Behind these powerful functions is the support of intelligent hardware. The car uses 21 sensing hardware, that is, 2+3+4+12 high-specification fusion scheme. Among them, 2 monocular cameras, 3 millimeter wave radars, 4 surround view cameras, and 12 ultrasonic radars can provide 360-degree accurate perception of related driver assistance systems without dead angles, regardless of rain, snow and haze weather, so that car owners can respond more quickly and accurately to complex car environments.
The computing power is guaranteed by two powerful chips, namely: Mobileye EYEQ4 vision processing chip and Infineon AURIX TriCore radar processing chip. The former is a vehicle-grade SOC chip that can quickly process image information to identify lane lines, targets and traffic signs, while the latter can process radar acoustic signals.
In addition, in terms of intelligent networking, Jiangling Ford Lingrui is equipped with Tencent TAI4.0 automotive intelligent system, equipped with in-vehicle WeChat, Tencent intelligent driving map, national K song, Tencent conference and rich expansion applications. Moreover, the hardware support is also very excellent, equipped with a dual 12.3-inch suspension integrated smart interface, whether it is visual impact, or operation experience, are superior.
The engine gearboxes are all from the famous doors, and the performance and stability are guaranteed
In terms of power, the Jiangling Ford Lingrui series is equipped with Ford's high-performance EcoBoost170 engine (1.5T), which adopts Honeywell small inertia high-speed turbocharger, which effectively improves the intake efficiency, with a maximum power of 125kW (170 hp) and a maximum torque of 260N·m.
This engine is Ward's top ten engines in the same series, both performance and economy, the maximum torque in the same class in the leading level, although positioned as a home SUV, but the power is not worried at all, can be on call.
Matched with this is Magna's 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which has a transmission efficiency of up to 97%, which makes the performance advantage of the engine better played. And, the transmission is used in luxury vehicles such as the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA, and the performance and reliability have been proven.
The golden powertrain, coupled with the excellent support of the four-wheel independent suspension and the Ford global Trust-Mark standard tuning, ensures an excellent level of handling, in our test drive, whether it is the starting overtaking of the city's road conditions, or the high-speed overtaking lane change in high-speed road conditions, it is all at ease, especially 1500 rpm can reach the maximum torque, so that the start is very smooth, and it will not feel meat because the car is too big.
In addition, the car supports sports, economy, standard / comfort, off-road four modes, if adjusted to the sport mode, the performance experience will be higher, in addition to the off-road mode in a family outing encounter bad road, or very useful.
summary
The price range of 139,800-165,800 yuan is very rare in the joint venture medium-sized SUV camp, providing joint venture quality, but it is set at an independent price, and the quality-price ratio is very high. Allow users to spend the same price as domestic cars, you can drive mainstream joint venture brand models. And in terms of space, intelligence and power, there are very good performances. This is very friendly to the young user group, and I believe that the market will give positive feedback. From another point of view, Lingrui may become a catfish-like model that can make the market segment more rolled up.
