The Tank 300 ushered in a strong rival, and the new Ford Martyr will be domestically produced, equipped with 2.3T + 10AT + 3 locks
Although Ford Motor "lost" the Chinese trademark "Ford Mustang" due to a lawsuit, and the legendary sports car Mustang has never entered Chinese production, in 2021, we saw the plugged in Ford Mustang Mach-E, which later received the Chinese name Ford Electric Horse with the Prancing Horse logo, and this year, we will see the arrival of another new "Mustang", which is Ford's legendary off-road vehicle Bronco Ford Horse.
The reason why the Ford Flame is a legendary off-road vehicle is because it does have a very legendary history. The Bronco nameplate has been competing in the off-road market since 1966 and continues to compete with the Jeep Wrangler. The current Ford Martyr Horse maintains its fuel identity, and the vehicle emphasizes a hard-core square box style in the structural disposal, and brings out a more avant-garde texture in the detail process and body panel disposal, especially in the edge disposal, the Ford Lie Horse does not stick to the sense of sharpness, but the kind of technological luxury of the urban SUV. Similarly, the ring-shaped headlights that appear at the front of the car with light clusters inserted are a nod to the original 60s model, but have also been modernized with a modular design.
And like a large number of American off-road vehicles we have seen, the Ford Spirits has applied a lot of easy-to-remove structures and connections to the body, including the roof behind the C-pillar, which can be easily removed to realize the versatility of a hardcore off-road vehicle. The chassis is surrounded by a full-coverage off-road performance package, whether it's the front and rear bumpers for enhanced collision protection, or the wide body formed on the wheel arches, giving the car a hard-core expression of multi-road conditions.
In addition, we can see that the Ford Flame Horse has that sense of tallness, 4800 (4825)/2070/1990mm length, width and height are enough to support its medium-sized identity, but the long 2950mm wheelbase can bring leapfrog performance, while ensuring the comfort and spacious space of the double row, it can also ensure the practicality and versatility of the trunk.
Entering the cockpit, Ford Liema is not too technological, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster (standard is combined) and 12.0-inch touch screen are embedded, and the center console up and down, including the gear shift mechanism area has a large number of physical buttons, there will be a differential mechanism indicator at the top of the center console, and below the touch screen is multimedia/air conditioning/ Commonly used functions such as seats control buttons, and behind the mechanical shift knob, the G.O.A.T terrain mode management system is arranged, which can realize 7 terrain mode selection and 4 drive mode (2H/4H/4L/4A) selection.
Among them, the dual LCD screens will be supported by Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8155P chips, with large memory and storage space, Ford's SYNC+ intelligent interconnection system can achieve more diverse intelligent interaction between cars and machines, and localized ecological applications such as Baidu Maps have been installed. It should also be mentioned that the intelligent interconnection of the Ford Horse also supports the expansion of more special functions, including the drone linkage function, which provides more complete safety support in extreme environment driving. In terms of assisted driving, the Ford Lie Ma does not have 16 sensing hardware, and has assisted and active safety functions including adaptive range, road traffic sign recognition, and blind spot monitoring system.
The Ford Horse's cabin also has some special features, such as the aforementioned physical controls that are impermeable to ensure normal use even if rain intrudes, and the frameless design of the doors, which is quite rare among hardcore off-road vehicles. In addition, the Ford Lie Ma also uses side-opening doors, but in addition to the side-opening of the lower body, the rear windshield layout is a traditional lift-up type, which can be combined to make it easier to load, unload, take and use goods.
In terms of power, Ford Lie Ma is equipped with an EcoBoost series 2.3T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 202kW (275Ps) and a maximum torque of 429N·m with the support of Ford's 10AT gearbox to ensure high-performance output at high and low speeds. Amplify the torque for superior off-road performance.
In terms of chassis, Ford Lima adopts a front double wishbone independent suspension + rear five-link integral bridge non-independent suspension combination, and will be deployed in the chassis front and rear axle electronically controlled mechanical differential locks, Bilstein three-stage nitrogen shock absorbers and anti-roll bars that can be intelligently disconnected like Toyota SDM, etc., will make the vehicle have stronger adaptability and passing ability when encountering complex road conditions, among them, it is equipped with an anti-roll bar disconnection function that can be > on uneven roads and at speedsIt automatically disconnects at 32 km/h for better roll resistance and anti-tilt prevention. In addition, the Ford Spirits can be equipped with optional wading hoses, roof lights, modular steel front bumper, rear towing unit (maximum towing mass of 1500kg) and much more, most of which are included in the off-road package.
Write at the end
The biggest significance of the arrival of the Ford Bronco is that it can bring the off-road vehicle market, which was already biased towards new energy, back into the fuel field, and a series of mechanized professional off-road equipment and systems we have seen on it also show the super strength of this legendary off-road vehicle. However, as the president of JMC Ford Technology said, Ford Flame will not compete with domestic fuel off-road vehicles such as the Tank 300 for the market, it is more aimed at the consumer groups in the same circle as the BBA, but if it can really enter the market with a threshold of 300,000 or even lower, it is difficult to say how long the Tank 300 can be happy.
