On January 29, the hard-core off-road Ford Bronco, which is well-known overseas, officially ushered in its debut in the domestic market, and will be introduced into China by JMC Ford in the future and named "Ford Horse". According to the president of JMC Ford for the price speculation of Ford Liema, he gave "I hope that on the day the price is announced, we can hear everyone's applause in response, and the price of our products will surprise everyone", combined with the current mainstream speculation that the new car price may be about 300,000, the price of the model it intends to go to, the price should most likely be "2" at the beginning.

For the time being, based on the pricing of tens of thousands of yuan, plus the purchase tax or something, isn't it a high overlap with the landing price of the Chinese hard-core off-road formula Leopard Leopard 5? In this way, a "two-choice knockout competition" is naturally unavoidable.

In comparison, whether it is a Liema or a Leopard 5, the two cars are quite tough and capable of fighting in terms of appearance. The exterior profile of the Ford Spirits is similar to that of the Wrangler, with a removable roof and frameless doors. But seriously, compared to the tough guy look and retro look of the Ford Horse, I think it's a bit redundant to use frameless doors.

The appearance attributes of the leopard 5 are still the hard-core off-road style, but compared with the Ford Liema, the style of the Leopard 5 is obviously constricted, the lines are not as tough as the Liema, and the overall style is similar to the mountain style that has been very popular in the past two years. If the Ford Horse understands the aesthetics of off-road veterans better, then the Leopard 5 should cater to more young consumer groups and dads who pursue outdoor tonality with its soft and rigid design.

At this point, it is not difficult for us to see from the inside of the two cars that there will be certain differences in the segmentation of consumer groups between Ford Lie Ma and Formula Leopard Leopard 5. The tough guy style interior of the Liema is the same as the exterior, but if you want a sense of interior grade for about 300,000, the Leopard 5 has a lot of leather wrapping in the cockpit and uses two-tone embellishments, which is indeed more advantageous.

In the era of science and technology, the performance of the intelligent cockpit of the Leopard 5 is undoubtedly more advantageous. After all, in addition to the more playable car machine system and co-driver entertainment screen, Leopard 5 also has some high-end intelligent driving assistance in the area of intelligent driving assistance, such as high-speed NOA, remote control parking, automatic lane change assistance, etc.

There is also a seat configuration, at present, Ford Lima has not announced detailed configuration information, but what can be expected is that compared with the Leopard 5 front row integrated heating/ventilation/massage, rear row heating and other seat functions, the seat configuration that Lima can give will most likely not be higher than that of Leopard 5.

Then there is the comfort of the seats, when you see the rear row of the two cars, the comfort is stronger and which is weak, everyone must have already had a rod scale. Although the wheelbase of the Ford Lie Ma reaches 2950mm, it may be difficult to compete with the Leopard 5 in terms of rear longitudinal space, seat cushion length, seat texture, etc.

In terms of power, judging from the known information, the Ford Lie Ma will be equipped with 2.3T+10AT pure fuel power, with a maximum power output of 202kW/429N·m, and the 000 acceleration time has not yet been announced. The Formula Leopard 5 is equipped with a dual-motor four-wheel drive + 1.5T plug-in hybrid engine, with a maximum system power output of 505kW/760N·m, and a 000 acceleration time of only 4.8 seconds. There is no doubt that without the blessing of the electric motor, the power output of the Ford Flame is difficult to be stronger than that of the Leopard 5.

Finally, in terms of off-road performance, the non-"bigfoot version" of the Ford Fierce Horse can achieve an approach angle of 38 degrees, a departure angle of 31 degrees, a passing angle of 22 degrees, a minimum ground clearance of 237/242mm, and a maximum wading depth of 800mm. If you go to the off-road kit version of the official reform, it will go to a higher level from chassis passability to off-road strength improvement.

The approach angle of the Leopard 5 (non-cloud version) is 35 degrees, the departure angle is 32 degrees, the passing angle is 20 degrees, the minimum ground clearance is 220mm, and the maximum wading depth is 700mm. But fortunately, the Leopard 5 has three locks in the front, middle and rear, low-speed four-wheel drive, creep mode, and off-road assistance functions of the tank turning light, and provides trailer mode and support for external aspects, which also makes the Leopard 5 competent for the important task of outdoor camping support vehicles.

"Editor's Conclusion"
Even though the Ford Flame is tentatively scheduled to be launched at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, in fact, when you understand your car needs and car preferences, you don't have to worry about how to choose between the Lie Horse and the Leopard 5. Like the hard-core off-road style, the demand for the car is the "big toy" attribute, the Ford Horse with stronger off-road ability and more style can fully meet the demand. If you plan to use a car for multiple purposes, and you also want to buy more configurations, stronger power and take into account the attributes of off-road &outdoor vehicles for this 300,000, then the Formula Leopard Leopard 5 may be more suitable for you.
