"I Have a Car" original test drive report: At present, JMC Ford Bronco has been officially unveiled, the new car provides a total of 7 models, the pre-sale price range is 30-450,000 yuan, and the whole series of models will be officially launched at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show on April 25.
▲ What are the product highlights of JMC Ford Bronco Liema?
First of all, let's look at the off-road geometry of the Ford Bronco, taking the Wasteland version of our test drive as an example, this version is already a modified version of the original factory, the approach angle of the vehicle has reached 45°, the departure angle is 37°, the passing angle is 26°, and the ground clearance has reached 273mm.
On top of this, the Ford Bronco Badland Edition offers an intelligent anti-roll bar disconnect function, which allows the car to automatically disconnect when the vehicle encounters uneven roads and the vehicle is traveling below 32 km/h, and automatically reconnects when the vehicle exceeds 32 km/h.
To put it simply, this intelligent disconnect anti-roll bar function can only be activated on a flat road or when stationary in some models, but this function on the Ford Bronco is not limited by flat road surfaces and can increase the travel of the single-sided suspension.
For example, in off-road scenarios, where it is relatively difficult to cross axles or climb stones, some models equipped with this function need to be stationary to achieve, but the Ford Bronco does not need to be stationary, and with its off-road indicator parameter setting, it is relatively easy to achieve direct passing.
The second point is that the JMC Ford Bronco Liema Wasteland Edition has a wading depth of 850mm, while the Everglades version has been equipped with the original wading hose compared to the wasteland version, so the wading depth has also been increased to 925mm. In addition, it should be noted that the "original wading hose" of the new car's Everglades Edition can be installed in two ways, and once this device is facing forward, it becomes a forced air intake device, which has a relatively wide adaptability to multiple scenes.
The third point is that JMC Ford Bronco has given the BAJA roll cage, and at the same time, a number of holes are reserved above the roll cage, which provides help for the later modification space and improves the rigidity of the body to a certain extent.
Fourthly, the JMC Ford Bronco is equipped with a three-stage nitrogen shock absorber from Bilstein.
According to our actual experience, this shock absorber is enough for friends who don't like to toss, it is mainly soft where it should be soft, and it also has support where it should be, for example, in road driving, high-speed or non-paved road conditions, the chassis feedback is relatively soft, but once it reaches the working conditions of medium to heavy off-road environments or flying slopes, including the downforce, rebound resistance and tension of the shock absorber will become harder.
The JMC Ford Bronco Liema Wasteland Edition also reserves a good modification space for the aftermarket due to the "Bigfoot" model. For reference, the Bronco Raptor version and the F-150 Raptor version shock absorbers both use 3.1 from FOX, and the overseas version of Bronco actually has a field version, which uses FOX 2.5.
Fifth, the JMC Ford Bronco retains the body setting of the "modular" design, and more than 20 detachable modules in the whole car, including the frameless doors and roof of the new car, can be removed by themselves.
Sixth, the JMC Ford Bronco Liema Wasteland Edition is equipped with a front double wishbone/rear five-link suspension, EMOD intelligent pre-loaded four-wheel drive system, G.O.A.T. all-terrain intelligent management system, Dana DANA front/rear electronically controlled mechanical differential lock, and the big foot off-road version has a 4.7 rear axle speed ratio, of which the tooth embedded differential lock supports driving operation.
In short, the Dana DANA front and rear axle electronically controlled differential locks are able to respond for 200s when the wheels are slipped, and can also be paddled and locked in off-road conditions with electronically controlled buttons. Imagine a scenario where you need to cross a ditch or ride a knife beam in a high-speed driving situation in the desert, which can be done with one click when you need a padlock, which can effectively prevent the wheels from slipping or getting stuck in the car.
In addition, in the power part, JMC Ford Bronco Lima adopts a 2.3L EcoBoost turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 202kW and a maximum torque of 429Nm, matched with a 10AT gearbox.
JMC Ford Bronco Liema, to the domestic "special" interior design, including dual 12-inch screen + 8155 chip, car networking, mobile phone remote control, wireless CarPlay, etc., in addition, the new car even gives 16G+256G large memory and storage space, providing redundant space for FOTA upgrades in the next 3 years or more.
"I have a car" summary: JMC Ford Bronco includes interior and exterior design, off-road geometric parameters, off-road configuration, mechanical components and other aspects, all of which have relatively good highlights, coupled with the introduction of multiple versions, so that users have more room to choose, and then look forward to the official launch price of JMC Ford Bronco at this year's 2024 Beijing Auto Show.
