Just domestic Ford Lie Ma has finally completed the release, the new car is a hard off-road intermediate SUV, equipped with 2.3T + 10AT power combination, the appearance is basically original, but the interior is for the preferences of domestic consumers, upgraded, the new car is expected to be listed at the Beijing Auto Show, the starting price or about 300,000 yuan.
We won't say much about the design, but briefly talk about the history of the Burning Horse, the original model was born in 1966, compared to the Mustang to highlight the running attitude, the Bronco is the state of the hind hooves in the air, and the two cars are also called Ford's "two horses", which are the American national cars in the sports car and off-road vehicle markets in the same period.
And because the front suspension of the original model used a coil spring structure, Ford also called it the "originator of modern SUVs". However, due to the continuous renewal of sales and other models, the Bronco was discontinued. It wasn't until the explosion of the hard-core off-road market in recent years that Ford chose to resurrect it, and the new car also set a record in the U.S. market for one week of release, with orders exceeding 230,000 units. The name of the domestic version of "Burning Horse" also sounds quite wild.
The configuration options of the domestic version are still quite rich, providing 3 different optional packages and tires of different specifications, among them, the wasteland version and the Everglades version, which are the official professional upgrade versions, equipped with Goodyear 35-inch OD mud tires, 4.7 rear axle ratio, Dana front/rear electronically controlled mechanical differential lock, EMOD intelligent four-wheel drive system, Bilstein nitrogen shock absorber, etc. Moreover, the roof and doors of the new car can be manually disassembled, and there are abundant modified parts, and the playability is still quite high.
Compared with the overseas version of 2.3T and 2.7T, the power choice of the domestic version is slightly single. At the same time, in the market segment, domestic hard-core off-road such as the Tank 400 and the Formula Leopard Leopard 5 have begun to provide new energy plug-in hybrid power, and the Liema seems to be a little conservative. However, after domestic production, it should make this American classic car have a wider audience, as a reference, the parallel import of the 2.3T version, the current price is about 460,000.
