The Ford Bronco is a classic hardcore off-road model from Ford. English bronco is a very strong wild horse living in North America, it is said that this wild horse has a strong personality and is difficult to be tamed, so it is used to represent the "refusal to be tamed, fearless spirit" of this model of Ford Spirit, I believe that every Ford Bronco owner also has their own firm belief and fearless spirit. For friends who love off-road vehicles, recently, JMC Ford announced the official mass production of the classic hard-core off-road vehicle Ford Liema, which is definitely good news.
The domestically produced Ford Flame Horse Bronco is still a "Flame Horse". According to public information, it is powered by a 2The 3-ton turbocharged four-cylinder engine has a maximum power of 202 kW and a top speed of 161 km h. The powertrain is expected to be mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The power can't be said to be very powerful, but it is abundant enough, and there are still two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, and I don't know if there will be a more powerful version in the future. The body size is 4825 2070 1990mm in length, width and height, the wheelbase is 2950mm, the interior space is relatively spacious, and the rear seat space is no problem for adults with a height of 180cm.
In terms of appearance, JMC Ford Lie Ma retains the design style of the overseas version, and the overall feeling is very square and upright, tough enough. The front grille adopts a frameless design, and in the center is the English Ford Bronco of the model, with slender LED daytime running lights, which highlights the round headlight cluster. Underneath the grille is the stout bumper essential for hardcore off-road vehicles, complete with an original tow hook and winch. I believe that such a configuration can make friends who like off-road feel at ease, and in some cases they can start self-rescue in time.
The side lines are stiff and straight, and the frameless door design is currently more popular. Interestingly, the tailgate of the Ford Flame opens sideways, and the rear window is separated from the rear door and can be opened upwards to make it easier to access items or open the windows separately. At the rear of the body, there is an external spare wheel and a vertical taillight cluster. The Ford Horse adopts a modular design, with a roof that supports three-stage disassembly, and a large number of buckle designs are reserved for more personalized DIY modifications. According to reports, the Ford Lie will have multiple versions to choose from in the future, including a two-door version, a four-door version, a soft-top version and a hardtop version. These versions all have very unique features and uses that can meet the needs of different users.
In addition to its hard-core appearance, the Ford Spirits are also equipped with a number of intelligent technology configurations, such as intelligent four-wheel drive system, steep hill descent, differential lock, etc., which can provide better off-road performance and driving experience. Although the interior of the traditional hard-core off-road SUV is relatively simple, it also keeps pace with the times, with an embedded touch LCD screen in the center console and an 8155 car machine chip to ensure a smooth experience. The whole system is equipped with 8 ultrasonic radars, 5 high-definition cameras, and 3 millimeter-wave radars as standard. In terms of assisted driving, it is equipped with ACC adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and blind spot monitoring system. Judging from these configurations, the Ford Lie Ma has at least achieved the mainstream level of intelligence, and it also retains a lot of physical buttons. I like this kind of touch screen + physical button collocation, which can not only enjoy the convenience brought by technology, but also solve it with one click at a critical moment. I really hope that some models will not reduce the physical buttons, especially some key physical buttons, imagine what if there is a problem with the touch screen?
As an important passability aspect of off-road vehicles, the Ford Liema ordinary non-big foot version: approach angle 38 degrees, departure angle 31 degrees, passing angle 22 degrees, minimum ground clearance 237 242mm, maximum wading depth 800mm. Bigfoot (Wasteland, Everglades): Approach angle 45 degrees, departure angle 37 degrees, passing angle 26 degrees, minimum ground clearance 273mm, maximum wading depth 850mm (with wading hose 925mm). There's also said to be a more off-road version, the Bronco Everglades, which also includes a roof rack and wading hose to keep the owner able to trek.
In general, JMC Ford Lie Ma is positioned as a medium-sized hard-core off-road SUV, compared with the familiar Great Wall Tank 300, and the Formula Leopard 5 under BYD, the new popular star. Judging from the paper data and appearance alone, I think Ford Lie Ma is more "tough", while retaining the traditional hard line, it also adds many technological and fashion elements, plus some configurations added after localization, and improved interior, Ford Lie Ma is also closer to the Chinese market.
It is rumored that the JMC Ford Flame will cost about 300,000 yuan and will participate in the Beijing Auto Show in April, and there will be more detailed reports at that time. The actual feeling needs to wait for the new car to be launched and test-driven, and then bring you a first-hand experience report.
