Appearance:
The appearance of Jiangling Ford Lingrui and Jiangling Ford Lingyu have a very high degree of similarity, the characteristics of the family are distinct enough, but Lingrui in the details of the design, showing more youthfulness, visual senses can have a certain distinction between the target user groups of the two cars.
In the front part, the new car will be built using a new family design language. The headlight group adopts a split design, and the LED daytime running lights above are sharp in shape and have strong aggression. The near and far light integrated light group below is organically combined with the front encirclement, and the front surround is equipped with a larger trapezoidal vent, giving the vehicle a stronger sporty attribute.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4630/1935/1706mm, the wheelbase is 2726mm, in addition to the width of the vehicle, the overall data of Lingrui will not be grateful, but entering the car, especially the rear, it feels very large and spacious.
The model of the test drive Lingrui is equipped with 20-inch wheels, and the styling style is relatively low-key, which is also in line with his low-key sexual style. Test-drive tires are branded with a size of 245/45 R20.
The tail shape is square and angular, through a number of horizontal lines, to increase the thickness of the rear, for the young market, Lingrui's tail design is relatively conservative, but with a full sense of strength.
The new taillights adopt a highly technological family-style "three-column" LED light source layout, and the "L" shaped flow steering effect after lighting is very recognizable. In addition, the rear surround of the new car also adopts a two-color design with different colors from the body, and it is worth mentioning that the two sides of the rear surround of the new car will also be equipped with silver trim strips, which can play a very good embellishment role.
Interior:
The interior of Lingrui is also a Ford family design, the lines are straight, the shape is simple, through the contrast and chrome, wood decoration, as well as the eye-catching double screen design, the atmosphere inside the car is just right, conveying a certain sense of luxury. At the same time, the new car adopts a simple and atmospheric design style, equipped with a double 12.3-inch dashboard and a large screen, and a large-size central control screen with an integrated full LCD dashboard and a video entertainment control screen, which looks more technological. In terms of configuration, the new car will be equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360 Intelligent Driving Assistance System and Tencent TAI4.0 Automotive Intelligent System, which can realize AR real-life navigation, Ford-Pai App mobile phone interconnection, OTA online upgrade, etc.
The materials for the interior are still relatively conscientious, the center console is wrapped in a large number of leather materials, and there are decorative panels similar to wood grain for embellishment, which feels very good.
Flat bottom three-spoke steering wheel diameter is moderate, 3-9 points on both sides of the leather wrapped with a large area of punching treatment, hold up comfortable and delicate hand, the whole series of standard multi-functional steering wheel, can control most of the functions, can be more convenient for the owner to operate.
The 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard displays clearly, the UI design is simple and easy to read, the central position can switch between different functional interfaces according to the needs, and the dashboard provides a total of 2 theme modes.
Lingrui in the intelligent driving assistance configuration is very comprehensive, this set of Co-Pilot360 intelligent driving assistance system integrates driving, parking related, very rich main and passive safety assistance functions, even the entry-level model can also meet the vast majority of use scenarios. The 360 panoramic image quality is acceptable, and the wide angle is also good for distortion control of the image, with obstacle marking function, and also supports transparent chassis display. On the top model, Lingrui also provides AR real-life map navigation, and the intelligent configuration is very sincere. It is worth mentioning that Lingrui is also equipped with track reversing assistance, which can automatically reverse the original line of 50m.
The adjustment of the air conditioner is integrated in the central control screen, and the central control position is designed with a row of quick operation buttons for the air conditioner, and the touch form is adopted. And the following is also equipped with mobile phone wireless charging function, practical is very strong, is more popular with the current young people a function.
Spatial aspects:
Lingrui's seat shape design is very strong, the color of black and blue stitching, with a certain sense of high-grade, the filling inside the seat is hard, and the wrapping on both sides brings good support to the body. The rear is also in the same color scheme, and the middle seat also has a headrest, which is friendly to the middle passengers.
The panoramic sunroof is not small in size, extending directly to the top of the rear head, and the openable area is also large enough. The transparency of the entire interior space was excellent.
In terms of storage, the design of Lingrui is very intimate, the storage space of the whole car is as many as 20 places, the concave design of the front console of the co-driver is convenient for placing mobile phones and small objects, there is a huge hollowing processing under the electronic gear, placing a backpack is not a problem, and the storage performance of the central armrest box is not inferior to that of Highlander.
The space in the trunk must also be praised, under normal conditions, ford lingrui's trunk volume of 448 liters, after the rear seat ratio is lowered, the space can be expanded to 1422 liters, so that whether it is placed camping items or bear children's toys, there is no problem, and the top of the ford lingrui model trunk also supports electric and induction switch.
Power:
Powered by the Ford EcoBoost 170 high-performance engine, maximum power 125kW (170 hp) / 5400-5700rpm, maximum torque 260Nm / 1500-3000rpm, matching Magna's third-generation wet 7DCT dual-clutch transmission, with a leading power output of 1.5T in the same class.
The chassis is completely redesigned, with suspension and chassis tuned to Trust-Mark Ford's global standards, highlighting ford's driving engineering DNA and century-old Ford's proven technology to meet the driving pleasure and be more durable, while the former McPherson independent suspension multi-link independent suspension balances the dual needs of handling and comfort.
Lingrui's start and acceleration are very smooth, the torque output at low speed is not delayed, it is enough to cope with daily driving in the city, and the power in the middle and rear sections also has good sustainability. At low speed, I also don't feel any frustration when switching gears, and the overall feeling is quite comfortable. In terms of upshift action, thanks to the blessing of the dual-clutch transmission, the shift action of the whole vehicle is still quite fast, and it is worth mentioning that the new car has no obvious setback when it rises at low speed.
Due to the displacement and body size, after 80km/h, it will not look as smooth as the initial and mid-section acceleration, especially when overtaking requires a little more patience. In addition to the conventional D-gear mode, the transmission also provides L low gear, perhaps adding a sport mode gear, which may play a certain role in the comprehensive performance of the powertrain.
Deep on the throttle, the engine speed will not rise in an instant, to get better power to wait a little while to burst out, but even if you give the throttle, the vehicle will not make a moving action, but with a relatively smooth acceleration effect.
The NVH performance of the whole car is still remarkable, but here in addition to the engine noise. When the speed is maintained at 100km/h, the wind noise control from the outside is very good, even better than many joint venture main models at the same price, and the performance in terms of tire noise is average, and a little noise can still be transmitted to the car under high-speed conditions.
In terms of chassis, Lingrui has a good performance, achieving a certain balance between sports and comfort, and can feel the engineer's intention to adjust the chassis. The Lingrui chassis can bring a certain sense of heaviness, and the fine vibration filter of the road surface is good, even on the expressway, it is difficult to perceive the feedback of the road surface. At the same time, the vibration damping support for the body is also relatively in place, the roll in all directions is well suppressed, and the large undulating road surface of the speed reduction belt is quickly passed, although the damping of the vibration reduction can be felt, but the action is crisp and will not produce excess jumping.
When the vehicle is in assisted driving mode and the speed is greater than 60km/h, the driver presses the light lever, the DCLC system will judge the environment, when the lane line is clear and dotted, the front of the car and the target lane have enough safety distance, the system will assist the driver to drive the vehicle into the adjacent lane; full speed segment to achieve L2 level intelligent driving; to achieve intelligent follow-up, follow-up, follow-up steering, lane centering and lane correction assistance; support intelligent scene reconstruction HMI display.
When the vehicle is in D gear and travels at a speed of less than 15km/h, the system records the most recent 50m route forward. After opening the function, the system will control the steering wheel, brakes and throttle, automatically according to the vehicle record of the last 50m original road return, to avoid novice drivers in narrow alleys, alleys and other places, easy to drive in, pour out difficult;
Summary: Ford Lingrui as a medium-sized SUV, with its wide-body design beyond the same level of successful out of the circle, 1935mm of cross-level car width and even successfully surpassed the medium-sized SUV benchmark Highlander, supplemented by the best knee space of the same level the best aisle space of the same level gradually emerged in the market corner, but also inherited Ford's century-old genes, with a new generation of "potential energy aesthetics" modeling design to meet the aesthetic pursuit of young people for personalization and sportsmanship. Of course, the advantages of Ford Lingrui are not only these, more tough design, more comfortable home tuning, more abundant technology configuration, so that drivers feel that the new car is more like a strong outside and inner technology model, and can bring you a sense of security, but also careful care for your life. It can be said that Lingrui has a very strong competitiveness, whether it is price or space and technology configuration is 150,000 yuan price model, with a strong competitive joint venture SUV, Jiangling Ford Lingrui is a good choice.
