In today's endless emergence of new energy "spoilers", everyone seems to have desensitized to all kinds of exaggerated parameters, because you always know that the "firsts" that OEMs boast of can't last a few days. So the question is, what kind of products can everyone remember? I think it would be great to return to the real car needs, add some fun under the premise of practicality, and if you can still tell some stories. The Bronco, which will soon be produced locally by JMC Ford, seems to have these qualities.
Domestically named "Ford Spirit", Bronco is the name of a sturdy wild horse native to North America, known for its unyielding, untamable wildness. As a purebred hardcore off-road vehicle, Bronco has always been the Jeep Wrangler.
The appearance of the domestic version of the Ford Martyr continues the shape of the square box, only the branch separator above the hood has been adjusted, and the license plate frame has been placed in the middle to comply with domestic regulations; Details such as the Everglades Edition's 35-inch OD tires, high-mounted air intake, and wide wheel arches have been retained to highlight the strong off-road performance, while the Wasteland Edition's Mineral Yellow side fender logo has also been retained, highlighting its identity and being playful.
Fully considering the needs of the Chinese market for both hardcore and "soft decoration", the domestic Liema chose a more delicately textured matte leather material to wrap the seats, dashboard and door handles, strengthening the luxurious texture of the car, rather than the North American version of hard plastic, 12The 3-inch LCD instrument cluster and 12-inch LCD central control screen, supplemented by the 8155 chip, can display professional off-road information. The functional layout of the physical buttons under the center console is also relatively reasonable, and it is easy to use.
The power is equipped with 2The 3T turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 202 kilowatts, a maximum torque of 429 Nm, and a longitudinal 10AT gearbox designed with low gear ratio intervals, which is completely sufficient in terms of power output and performance. At the same time, in order to ensure off-road climbing performance, the rear axle speed ratio is as high as 47. The three-lock design makes the front and rear electronically controlled mechanical differential locks 100% torque transmission. The eMod intelligent full-time all-wheel drive from BorgWarner provides powerful off-road performance, supporting low-speed four-wheel drive mode, active locking with motor intervention, torque volume of 1850N·m, and smoother switching in four-wheel drive mode.
The Dana front and rear electronically controlled mechanical differential locks distribute 100% of traction to the adhered wheels, making them more effective than 50:50 mechanical locks on both sides without wasting power. Bilstein three-stage nitrogen shock absorbers are more resistant to shocks and more durable. These are all things that veteran off-road players want to upgrade, and this time the original factory can get it at one time and can be legally on the road.
Summary. Since the tank 300 lowered the hard off-road threshold, it can be clearly seen that the domestic hard off-road demand blowout growth, various manufacturers have also been involved, 30-500,000 yuan range of hard off-road products are not only aimed at traditional off-road players, for some upgrades, want to try the young group is also very attractive, and Ford Horse is changeable, as a real "open" product, taking into account practicality and fun, coupled with a deep heritage endorsement, I believe that in the domestic market should perform well, let us wait and see.
