Recently, Ford officially released the **Explorer model overseas, and its domestic counterpart is the familiar Explorer. This new car is positioned on models such as the Touron, with an emphasis on more power. However, in this year's fuel vehicle market, the competition of joint venture cars is becoming more and more fierce, especially the emergence of Nissan Tanlu, the whole series of 2The price of 0t is 230,000 yuan, compared with the whole series of domestic explorers 23t sells for 30980,000 yuan, which brought certain market pressure to Ford. In the face of this situation, the facelift of the new Explorer is particularly important, with its core upgrades mainly focused on power, interior and exterior.
1.Power upgrading and market competition.

However, the ST Sport model is equipped with a more powerful set of 3The 0t engine bursts out with 406 horsepower. However, due to displacement, this model has not been introduced into the domestic market at present. It is expected that the domestic version will continue to use the full range of 2The layout of the 3T, although the power is basically the same, compared to the Touron and the Exploration, the Explorer is still the strongest in its class in terms of power. Faced with the boom in the joint venture car market, Ford needs to think about how to stay competitive in the competition.
2.Interior changes and the shortcomings of intelligent cockpits.
The relative stability in terms of power makes the interior change one of the highlights of the new explorer. The current Explorer uses a set of large and narrow screens, and the new car has canceled this design and replaced it with a 132-inch floating large screen. This change brings a more intuitive and efficient display of information to the interior space. At the same time, the cancellation of the large screen design also creates a more concise and refreshing atmosphere for the overall interior. However, in terms of intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving, Ford still needs to work harder, and there are some gaps compared with Touron and Tanlu. The overseas version of the model is pre-installed with a new engine, while the domestic version continues the localized system, which also means that Ford still has room for improvement in terms of intelligence.
3.Appearance adjustment and market competition strategy.
Appearance has always been one of the most important considerations for consumers when choosing a car model. The new explorer has made some minor adjustments to the exterior, with an increased size of the front grille and a honeycomb trim for a more stylish look overall. The new headlight group is not highly recognizable, but the one-line lamp eyebrows show a good temperament. The rear is designed as an L-shaped split light cluster, connected with black trim, which adds some sporty atmosphere to the vehicle. The sports version adds ST red logos to the front face, and the rear is designed with four exhausts to highlight the sporty feeling, and there are red calipers on the side to give people the look and feel of a classic sports car. Overall, this cosmetic adjustment makes the new explorer more in line with today's consumer demand for a sleek and sporty look.
4.Market strategy: the balance between product power and quality.
Faced with the competitive environment of the domestic market, new explorers may need to reduce prices and other means in exchange for a larger market share. Although the product strength has improved in terms of power and interior, in the face of the roll-up of the joint venture car market, ** is still the focus of consumers' attention. Ford is currently focusing on the strategy of cost performance in China, so the new car is expected to bring some surprises in terms of **. However, this also means that a balance needs to be found between product power and quality, which can not only meet consumers' needs for high performance and luxury, but also occupy a favorable position in the competition. This may be a key strategy for new explorers to compete in the market.
5.Validation of product success and market push.
Overall, the facelift of Ford's new Explorer is designed to remain competitive in the market. Power upgrades, interior changes and exterior tweaks demonstrate Ford's sensitivity to market demand. However, in the face of fierce competition in the joint venture car market, Ford needs to find a balance between product strength and performance, and win consumers through the dual advantages of differentiation and cost performance. The new explorer may bring some surprises while reducing the price, but there is still room for improvement in terms of intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving.
