When it comes to American models, what comes to mind is the leading luxury car experience in the same class. Recently, another powerful American SUV was officially listed - Jiangling Ford Lingrui. As a medium-sized SUV model, the new car has brought a big surprise in pricing, and its price range is 139,800-16.58 million yuan, allowing many consumers with a budget of only entry-level SUV models to achieve a new choice in one step. The top-level models landed less than 200,000, making it difficult for many models of the same level to land more than 250,000, and even domestic models are difficult to take advantage of the price! And is the new car just a surprise in price? What is so special about this new Jinmei SUV?
The first encounter with Jiangling Ford Lingrui was stopped by its huge body, the body length and width of the new car is 4630/1935/1706mm, the wheelbase is 2726mm, the spatial performance of this data is not experienced, Lingrui has the widest body of the same level in 1935mm, the rear row brings 117mm of the best knee space of the same level, and thinks of its top with less than 200,000 price, in the Chinese people's consumption concept of great beauty, it is simply a real incense scene, And that's just the beginning of Jiangling Ford Lingrui.
The new car uses Ford's latest design language, bringing a "potential energy aesthetic" design. The front face is equipped with a large octagonal grille with rounded corners, fused with a large number of delicate chrome trims, like dragon scale armor, which is very majestic. The shape of the headlights is a split design, and the sharp angle of the daytime running lights with the three-lamppost shape of the turn signal is very recognizable.
Below is a headlight group integrated with the lower surrounding decoration, the whole series of standard LED headlights, integrated high beam light, front fog light function, stylish modeling and use valeo's latest generation of ellipsoid technology, low beam illumination distance of 105 meters, high beam 217 meters.
The side of the body brings a sharp and straight waist line, with the side specially designed large area concave shape, as well as rounded and full wheel arches, making the side of the car very powerful, and creating a wide body effect in the vision.
The design of the rear of the body also pays special attention to detail, and the standard LED taillights are designed by three independent light sources of ford classic three-column design, with flowing water turn signals, which echo the front and mirror lights. Combined with the lower skid plate with the upper and lower extension and the shape of a diffuser, it gives the new car a good recognition of the appearance.
After experiencing the external majesty and domineering spirit of Jiangling Ford Lingrui, I opened the car door and saw its delicate side inside. Soft leather wraps are heavily used in the car, which is soft enough everywhere within reach. The blue and white contrast design makes the interior look more simple and fresh at the same time.
The configuration of the prestige type and the prestigious collar plus brings a double 12.3-inch suspension integrated smart interface, the screen size is large enough, the display is clear enough, and the display content is richer. Tencent TAI 4.0 intelligent car machine system is built-in, which can realize a variety of practical functions such as OTA remote upgrade, AR real-life navigation, WeChat one-click start, remote mobile phone interconnection and so on. After the actual experience, the response speed of the car machine is rapid, and the mobile phone is used to answer the language when connecting to Bluetooth, which can achieve seamless conversion of music and broadcast content, which is particularly comfortable to use. At the same time, it also supports the Baidu carlife function, and you can also use iQiyi to watch movies in the car. Previously, excellent car and machine experience usually appeared on the domestic models at this price point, but this time Jiangling Ford Lingrui not only has a strong price, but also brings excellent brand attributes as a joint venture American system.
And the rear passengers benefit from the large space performance, with 295mm of the best aisle space of the same level, easy to get on and off the car at the same time can better extend the thighs in the car, the cushion padding is soft, and the leg support is strong. With the CN95 intelligent health cockpit, led mood lights and panoramic sunroof in the car, the comfortable travel experience is no longer the luxury of the past.
Most of the joint venture SUVs that consumers could buy within 200,000 were compact SUVs, such as Toyota RAV4 Rongfang and Honda CR-V. Moreover, under the premise of limited budget, it is impossible to unlock the optimal configuration experience of these models, and the landing price of medium and high-end models also needs to be close to 250,000 yuan. So if consumers want to choose a joint venture model at a price of 200,000 yuan to drive out and have face, the configuration is still comfortable with the car, it is completely unselected! This time, Jiangling Ford Lingrui not only brought the quality of the joint venture to consumers, but also brought the spatial performance and internal configuration experience beyond the intermediate SUV of the same level.
When we drove this Jiangling Ford to the road, we found that it not only allowed the passengers in the car to have a comfortable riding experience, but also continued the good driving experience of the American model. The new car is powered by the Ford EcoBoost170 engine, the latest model in the EcoBoost series, with a 1.5T in-line four-cylinder turbocharged engine. Has the strongest power output in its class. Maximum horsepower 170 hp, maximum torque 260 N·m. At the same time, it is equipped with the same gearbox of BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA, and the Magna wet 7DCT dual-clutch transmission.
After lightly pressing the throttle, the engine speed climbs fast enough that it is ready to go at any time. At the same time, the intervention of the turbine is also very early, and the acceleration of medium and high speed is in place, until 120KM/H, there is no weak problem in the rear section common to small displacement engines. When the transmission is pressed deeply on the throttle, the gear shift is active, adjusted to the sport mode, the throttle will react more sensitively, and the last rev will be used to change gears. Jiangling Ford Lingrui did not use a large turbo to increase horsepower and torque in order to look good on the book data. This car can continuously deliver more than 250 N·m of torque at 1200-3800 rpm, which is the opposite of the small horse-drawn cart I had envisioned before, and it was a surprise at the same time.
The suspension structure of the car is the front McPherson, and the rear multi-link independent suspension. After the Trust-Mark Ford global standard tuning, the Ford brand of driving control gene. Suzu Ford Lingrui also has C-EPS electronic power steering, Bosch 9.3 ESP, HHC hill assist system, HDC steep slope mitigation system and other functions, which are comprehensive enough to improve the driver's handling experience.
However, the biggest highlight is that the new car is equipped with the most complete driver assistance system in its class. The new car is equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360 Intelligent Driving Assistance System, which adopts radar + vision fusion solution and realizes L2 intelligent driving in the full speed segment. Equipped with more than 20 intelligent driving assistance technologies, including the fifth-generation ACC with queuing function, full-speed domain adaptive cruise, BLIS blind spot monitoring, LCA lane change assist, FCW collision warning, DCLC intelligent lane change assist (automatic lane change with lights), and LRAS trail reversing assist.
When traveling at high speed, not only the members of the car have a smooth travel experience, such as full-speed domain adaptive cruise, lane keeping, deviation warning and other functions to improve safety, but also help the driver to ensure a full range of safety premise, more easily reach the destination. At the same time, the LRAS Track Reversing Assist and DCLC Intelligent Lane Changing Assist function are brilliant configurations that have not been possessed at the same level, so it is beyond doubt that Jiangling Ford Lingrui has crossed the level in intelligent driving assistance.
Jiangling Ford Lingrui is a quite sincere car in 2022, which not only ensures that the price is enough to be impulsively explored, but also does not shrink in the quality of use, technology configuration, and driving power of the new car. The top model of 165,800 yuan is enough to prove its sincerity in putting down its body to cater to young consumers. For the market of the same level of models is also very impactful, in the past, such a comprehensive performance of the model, the price of 250,000 yuan, and this time Jiangling Ford Lingrui less than 200,000 yuan premise, but also brought the Ford Co-Pilot360 intelligent driving assistance system, reducing the threshold of intelligent driving assistance configuration. A medium-sized SUV at the price of an entry-level SUV successfully disrupted the unenterprising state of the Japanese and German joint venture SUVs, giving consumers a new and more cost-effective choice.
