The brand-new Ford Explorer positioned in the large SUV market is the flagship model of the Ford SUV product line, but the top price of less than 380,000 yuan is in sharp contrast with its "big guy".
Big doesn't mean expensive, which is the first impression left by the brand-new Ford explorer.
From the body size, the length, width and height of the new Ford Explorer are 5063mm, 2004mm, 1778mm, and the wheelbase is 3025mm, which is a typical large SUV figure and definitely meets the expectations of consumers for the "flagship SUV".
At the same time, the brand-new modeling design is also very successful, which not only continues the original gas field, but also adds some youthful atmosphere, which is suitable for all ages.
The brand-new Ford Explorer is worth 309,000-379,800 yuan, which is also very attractive. Even GAC Toyota Highlander, which has a lower level and size, costs 268-348,800 yuan. There is obvious price overlap between the two models, and the difference between the top models is only 30 thousand yuan.
Large size, full gas field and affordable price make the brand-new Ford Explorer a model with the ability to win the favor of the market quickly.
The size advantage of the new Ford explorer is the most obvious in space. According to official data, its cockpit space has reached nearly 6 square meters, especially the lateral width is very rich, which can make drivers and passengers feel comfortable.
In terms of seat layout, the new Ford Explorer has six seats and seven seats, and all four models have two seat layouts to choose from, which is a very friendly configuration scheme. In this test drive, in order to further put forward the sense of space of the new car, six-seat models were selected, and the comfort of the second row of independent seats was more prominent.
Thanks to the larger cockpit width, the second row of seats of the new Ford Explorer has enough lateral space. According to official data, the width and length of the seat cushion in the second row of seats have increased by 44mm and 25mm respectively, making it more like a big sofa, and its comfort can be comparable to that of luxury MPV.
In addition, this pair of independent seats has three selling points:
First of all, the CDPD headrest is adopted, which is softer to the touch and comfortable in size and position. Especially after the backrest of the seat is put down to the maximum extent, when the passenger lies on the seat, the headrest has a very good sense of support and the neck feels relaxed, which is called a "sleep weapon".
The second row and the second row of seats not only have the function of 6-way electric adjustment, but also can be turned forward by the exclusive electric button, which is convenient for the third row of passengers to enter and exit. When resetting, in addition to using the electric key, it can even be realized by voice interaction, which is more convenient to operate.
Thirdly, the aisle width between two independent seats is relatively large, which has obvious advantages in the same class SUV. The access of the third row of seats will be much more convenient, and the practicality will be improved.
As for the third row of seats, the performance of the new Ford Explorer is slightly better than that of most medium and large SUVs, but after all, SUVs are not MPVs, so the space here is still not very plentiful.
From the usage scene, the third row of seats can meet the commuting needs, and there is no problem in short-distance use such as commuting and shopping. Once driving for a long time, passengers will definitely be a little embarrassed.
The main reason for this situation is that the cushion height of the third row SUV seats is closer to the floor. After sitting on it, the included angle between thighs and trunk will be less than 90, and passengers will feel tired after sitting for a long time.
Of course, if there is only one person sitting in the third row, you can put your legs in the central aisle to ease the sense of constraint.
When the third row of seats is not used, the folded seats will be completely flush with the luggage compartment floor, forming a regular storage space. After the second and third rows of seats are all put down, the storage space can even reach 2487L, which is almost comparable to a small truck, and it will be very convenient to carry large items.
In terms of Zhilian configuration, the new Ford Explorer is more flagship and has good competitiveness in the same price market.
The oversized 27-inch central touch screen is the current "housekeeping configuration" of Ford brand, which is very eye-catching in all market segments. 12.3-inch instrument screen and 17-inch full-color HUD head-up display also belong to the first-class configuration level of the same level.
The visual effect of the 27-inch central touch screen is very good. It can be displayed in full screen or in two screens. The system menu and car function icons are easy to operate, and the screen interaction experience is smooth enough.
In terms of in-vehicle system, the whole system comes standard with a new generation of SYNC+2.0 Zhixing infotainment system, which supports OTA upgrade. Its voice interactive system supports natural voice recognition, continuous input and interruption at any time, and its functions also cover software and hardware functions such as air conditioning, voice and information query. , is also a first-class level in the same level.
In the process of use, Zhijiajun uses voice interaction to set up navigation and query weather and stock market information. The speech recognition accuracy of the system is high and the response speed is fast enough. The overall experience is very close to the new power brand that has advantages in this respect. It can be seen that Ford brand is competitive enough in Zhilian car and has obvious advantages in the joint venture market.
It is worth mentioning that Ford's co-pilot 360 Zhixing driver assistance system is also standard for all new explorers, and its intelligent driver assistance can reach L2 level, with an auxiliary function of 65,438+08. According to the official introduction, the intelligent vehicle infrastructure cooperative system, which was first mass-produced by Ford, has also landed on vehicles and can be used in cities with vehicle-road cooperative facilities.
In terms of power, the new Ford Explorer is equipped with a 2.3T EcoBoost engine with a maximum power of 203kW and a peak torque of 425Nm, matching the new 10 automatic manual transmission. According to official data, the 100-kilometer acceleration of four-wheel drive models is 7.8s.
During the actual driving process, the new Ford explorer has sufficient power reserve, and even if he drives a tall and burly body, it is effortless to accelerate. You know, the 100-kilometer acceleration performance of the 7.8s is actually close to the level of a sports car. In daily driving, there is no need to accelerate at all, and half-open throttle is enough to deal with most scenes.
