In recent years, the success of independent brands, many people have seen in the eyes, before Toyota Land Cruiser is definitely a brother of off-road brands in the Chinese market, but with the rise of the tank series, Toyota Land Cruiser has also been brilliant.
But who knew that as soon as 2024 began, a major event would happen in the domestic auto market. Because Ford Lie Ma is coming, this is a king bomb that Ford has brought to the Chinese market.
The Ford Horse is relatively new to many Chinese, but in fact it has been on the market since 1966 and is now the sixth generation. If the Jeep Wrangler can be compared to a dragon slayer in an off-road vehicle, then the Ford Flame Horse can be compared to a heavenly sword.
The new Ford Lie was launched three years ago, but only now that Ford has introduced it to the Chinese market. He played a very perfect time difference, after all, three years ago was the most glorious time of the Tank 300, if the Ford Liema was to be launched at that time, it would inevitably have a serious conflict with the Tank 300, and it was difficult to say who would kill the deer at that time.
The biggest advantage of the Ford Flame is its modular design, which allows owners to customize their own personalized models, which cannot be provided by the Mercedes-Benz G-Class or the Toyota Land Cruiser.
The car is extremely capable off-road, with a 1700mm track, 273mm ground clearance, a maximum wading depth of 925m, steel chassis guards, Goodyear 35-inch OD tires and 17-inch alloy anti-slip wheels.
Due to the modular design of the vehicle, it is possible to disassemble the vehicle with a simple on-board tool, even for women. Of course, once the door is removed, you can't drive on the road, you have to go to a closed place.
The car feels like a building block, as long as the screws with the Bronco letters on the car can be removed. Therefore, you should pay attention to it when dismantling, and don't cause problems with the vehicle after dismantling it by mistake.
Of course, a good off-road vehicle needs a good four-wheel drive system. The Ford Flame uses an electronically controlled transfer case with a torque capacity of 1856 Nm, and is also equipped with an all-terrain intelligent management system, which can intervene in various modules such as differential locks and anti-roll bars to cope with different off-road scenarios.
The car is powered by a 2.3-liter engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, producing a maximum power of 202 kW and a peak torque of 429 Nm.
Judging from the above introduction, the Ford Flame is definitely the purest off-road vehicle, and it is no wonder that it entered the Chinese market four years after its release, which must have been fully prepared. I also believe that with the reputation it has accumulated in overseas markets, it will also sell quite well in the Chinese market.
It's just how much should this car sell for, if it can be sold for a price of less than 400,000, I'm afraid the tank series will really have a headache.
