As we all know, Ford's performance in the Chinese auto market has not been outstanding in recent years. In its quest for breakthroughs, Ford is constantly innovating. JMC Ford, which has always been known for producing hardcore off-road vehicles, recently introduced the Ford Bronco, a hard-core off-road vehicle that has been highly praised overseas, into domestic production and named it the Ford Spirit. After a period of warm-up, the domestically produced Ford Liema officially debuted on January 29. According to reports, the new car will be officially launched at the Beijing Auto Show in April, bringing a new driving experience to Chinese consumers.
In terms of appearance, this new car perfectly inherits the design essence of the overseas version, and the overall style is on par with the classic original Liema, tough but without losing the classic charm. If you look closely, you'll notice that the grille has a frameless design, while the interior is cleverly padded with a dot matrix grille, making the entire front face even more sophisticated. The slender LED daytime running lights are cleverly integrated into the retro round headlight cluster chamber, echoing the Ford Bronco logo in the middle, greatly enhancing the vehicle's identity. The lower bumper is thick and powerful, with original tow hooks and winches on both sides, showing strong off-road performance. In addition, depending on the version, the necessary wading hose equipment for off-road is also provided.
On the side, the new car cleverly uses straight body lines and incorporates a trend-setting frameless door design. In the hardcore off-road segment, this design is unique, making the vehicle exude a distinctive personality and trendy atmosphere. In terms of dimensions, the new car has a length, width and height of mm, and a wheelbase of 2,950 mm, which is precisely positioned as a mid-size hard SUV. Compared with well-known models such as the Tank 300 and the Formula Leopard Leopard 5, its overall performance is on the same level, and its strength should not be underestimated.
At the rear of the body, the design of the new car is simple and neat, with straight lines, like a tough iron man. The combination of the external spare tire and the vertical taillight group adds a bit of uninhibited wildness. The tailgate is designed separately from the rear window, with the tailgate opening sideways and the rear window opening upwards, which is unique and creative.
In terms of body structure, the new car adopts a modular design, which is as flexible as building blocks. The roof can be removed in three stages, making it easy to cope with various application scenarios. In addition, a large number of buckle designs are reserved in the car, providing infinite possibilities for personalized DIY modifications.
In terms of interior, the central control layout of this new car is consistent with the overseas version, showing a tough design style. However, in order to better adapt to the needs of the domestic market, it has also incorporated some localized design elements. Specifically, the workmanship and materials used have been carefully selected and polished. The center console is wrapped in a large area of soft materials, and the details are also cleverly used to make the design of contrasting colors, making it more textured compared to traditional hardcore off-road vehicles. In addition, the new car retains a large number of physical buttons, ensuring that various functions can be implemented with simple button operation. This design not only demonstrates a high level of practicality, but also provides the driver with a more intuitive and convenient control experience.
The cockpit is equipped with a 12-inch LCD instrument cluster and a 12-inch center control screen, equipped with a Qualcomm 8155 chip, and has a built-in Ford SYNC+ intelligent connectivity system. A large number of physical operation buttons and knobs are set under the center control screen to provide better functionality. In addition, the rear of the transmission also provides the option to manually switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive low-speed modes.
In terms of intelligent driving hardware, the new car can be described as well-equipped, with 8 ultrasonic radars, 5 high-definition cameras and 3 millimeter-wave radars, like a keen scout on the battlefield, always capturing information about the surrounding environment. In terms of assisted driving, it has a number of functions such as ACC adaptive cruise, traffic sign recognition, blind spot monitoring system, etc., just like an experienced driver, escorting your driving safety. Whether it's on city roads or highways, this new car will make it easy for you to tackle and enjoy driving to the fullest.
In terms of power, the domestic Lima adopts a domestically produced engine and is equipped with the same 2 as the Road Shaker and Explorer3T+10AT powertrain. This 2The 3-liter turbocharged Ecoboos engine is like a wild Mustang, with a maximum power of 202kW and a peak torque of 429Nm, and a top speed of 161km/h. It works perfectly with the 10AT gearbox. In addition, the domestic Liema is equipped with an intelligent four-wheel drive system, which can freely switch between two-wheel drive (2H), intelligent four-wheel drive (AWD), low-speed four-wheel drive (4L) and high-speed four-wheel drive (4H). Whether it is the bustling avenue of the city, the trail of the countryside, or the extreme field of off-road, the domestic fierce horse can easily cope with it, showing excellent all-terrain adaptability.
The domestic Liema will bring us two original professionally modified Bigfoot versions - the Wasteland Edition and the Everglades Edition. Equipped with a range of high-end off-road kits, they seem to be kings in the wilderness. Goodyear's 35-inch mud tires give them a strong grip that allows them to walk on the ground in the mud. 4.The 7 rear axle ratios, Dana front and rear electronically controlled mechanical differential locks, and BorgWarner's EMOD intelligent full-time all-wheel drive system ensure excellent passability in difficult terrain. The Bilstein three-stage nitrogen shock absorber allows the driver to enjoy a smoother and more comfortable driving experience.
Not only that, but both models are also equipped with an intelligent anti-roll bar disconnect function. This function can be automatically connected or disconnected according to the driving speed, further improving the vehicle's passability in difficult terrain. They show amazing strength and consistent performance on rough mountain roads, muddy wetlands or steep slopes.
The Bigfoot version of the domestic Lie Horse not only shows strong off-road ability, but also highlights the brand's pursuit of the ultimate driving experience. Whether you're an adventurer conquering the wilderness or an off-road enthusiast looking for thrills, these two models will give you a driving experience like never before.
