Or will soon be introduced into the country, the rechargeable "little raptor", Ford Ranger hybrid version is coming!

When it comes to high-end pickup trucks in China, the first thing that comes to mind is Ford's F-150 Raptor (Raptor), but the more expensive price makes many off-road vehicle fans prohibitive.

Ford seems to see this, and immediately launched a domestic version of the model based on the American version of the new generation of Ranger (ranger), although the size is much smaller than the F-150, but the off-road ability is not to be underestimated.

In order to enrich the product line and comply with the trend of new energy development, Ford also launched a plug-in hybrid version of the Ranger - Ford Ranger PHEV.

　　

The design of the new car and the fuel version is basically the same, and the overall is still the family design of Ford's off-road sequence, including the use of special-shaped LED headlights, black middle mesh design and other elements, which can reflect its wild temperament.

In terms of details, the middle net is designed very wide, and the details use a double-layer banner that runs horizontally, which matches well with the headlights with a matrix LED light source, and the visual effect is guaranteed.

　　

The side is decent, there is not much eye-catching design, it belongs to a more practical type, and the difference from the fuel version is that the side of the cargo box is equipped with a charging socket.

The size is relatively compact, the ground clearance is relatively high, and the short wheelbase will have a good performance in terms of passability.

　　

It can be seen from the official picture released this time that the new car is equipped with a relatively conventional horse brand tire, and does not use off-road AT tires, and the official may launch a modified version or provide optional equipment in the later stage.

The biggest highlight of the rear of the new car is the taillights, the horizontal "M" shape design is very characteristic, and the internal light group also has a black treatment, which has a good recognition and visual impact after being lit.

Fuel version interior

　　

The official did not release the interior pictures of the new car, but it is not difficult to guess that the new car will most likely adopt the same design as the fuel version. The central control layout is a relatively wide design, and at the same time integrates a full LCD instrument cluster, 12-inch central control screen, electronic gear shift mechanism, knob driving mode, and even adds paddle shift function on the back of the multi-function steering wheel.

　　

In terms of configuration, the new car will be equipped with the latest SYNC 4 infotainment system, as well as wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard. Some basic mechanical buttons and knobs are retained at the bottom of the screen to facilitate blind operation by users. In terms of advanced driver assistance, functions including collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot detection, door opening warning, fatigue monitoring, and handheld telephone monitoring are also not absent.

In addition, if it is introduced into China in the future, it is likely to add some localized functions, such as Amap, National K Song, etc.

　　

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of 2.3T engine + electric motor, with a pure electric cruising range of 45 kilometers. The power parameters of the new car have not yet been exposed, but the official revealed that the new car will become the most torque model in the Ranger series after adding the electric motor, with a towing capacity of 3500kg, and the official picture shows that the new car can easily tow a small excavator, which can also see that the new car not only has fun attributes, but also a qualified tool car.
