On April 8 and 9, 2020, Changan Ford unveiled the mystery of the brand-new sixth-generation Ford explorer through two live broadcasts in Tik Tok. The new car will be listed in China in June this year. Previously, Ford Explorer was sold in China as an imported car. Nowadays, with the arrival of domestic products, the brand-new sixth-generation Ford Explorer will consolidate its position in the large SUV market with strong product strength.
During the live broadcast, Mr. Liu Yuehai, vice president of product innovation of Ford Motor Company (China) Co., Ltd., Ms. Huo Jing, vice president of public relations of Ford Motor Company (China) Co., Ltd., Mr. Xiong Yi, vice president and marketing director of Changan Ford National Sales and Service Agency, and Mr. Li, deputy director of product marketing, visited the filming site in person, revealing the strong confidence of the brand-new sixth-generation Ford explorers for the first time from the perspective of absolute insiders.
Carrying the American SUV culture, the strength can not be underestimated.
From the first generation of 1990 to 20 19, Ford Explorer has launched five generations of models, which have surpassed their peers from beginning to end and met the needs of several generations of consumers for SUVs.
This also allows Ford explorers to harvest more than 8 million sets of sales worldwide in the past 30 years, ranking first in the sales of large SUV models in the United States all the year round. Now in the United States, there are more than 3.6 million explorers serving on the road, which is a real American "national SUV".
CD6 longitudinal rear drive chassis, super-strong boron steel body
Based on the performance advantages of the new CD6 vertical rear-drive platform, the new sixth-generation Ford Explorer has achieved a static weight ratio of 50:50 for the front and rear axles, thus having more stable handling performance. Vertical rear drive can satisfy consumers' pursuit of "luxury and high performance".
In terms of safety, the new car adopts high-strength lightweight materials such as boron steel and aluminum alloy, which not only ensures the rigidity of the car body, but also reduces its own weight, providing structural support for safety, handling and fuel economy: 1300Mpa- 1700Mpa high-strength steel accounts for 37% of the whole car frame, and boron steel and high-strength rolling parts surround the passenger compartment, bringing super rigid support.
A large number of all-aluminum accessories are used to reduce the weight of the whole vehicle, including: all-aluminum hood assembly, aluminum front bumper beam, aluminum front longitudinal beam and aluminum shock absorber tower, and a large number of lightweight aluminum alloy materials are used to reduce the weight of the whole vehicle.
Unique American style
There is a sense of science and technology in perseverance
The design of the brand-new sixth-generation Ford Explorer is inspired by the yacht: the sturdy C-pillar is the same color as the body, and the A-pillar, B-pillar and D-pillar are concealed, creating a high-tech atmosphere for the roof suspension; Like a yacht, the dynamic lines running through the front and back make the whole car full of momentum and courage.
While maintaining super-high recognition, we also designed a series of localized designs for China consumers: a hexagonal front grille which is more in line with China's aesthetics is introduced, with a higher vertical height, creating a large windward shape and bringing a heavier atmospheric texture.
Through the design of LED fog lights and side air curtains, the outline design is continuously extended to both sides, showing a wider and more stable body posture. The body is surrounded by bright paint with strong contrast, instead of the common black plastic treatment, creating a higher-end design texture.
In terms of interior layout, the sixth generation of explorers fully satisfied the demands of China consumers for technology and luxury. T-type center console model comes standard with 12.8-inch high-definition central control large screen, which has the beauty of high technology and simple design.
Hongping electric vehicle
As Ford's flagship SUV in China, the brand-new sixth-generation Ford Explorer will become the strongest strength benchmark in Changan Ford's product pedigree, and together with Wing Bo, Wing Tiger, Sharp International and Sharp, it will become the most perfect American SUV product matrix in China. The brand-new sixth-generation Ford Explorer is scheduled to be officially launched in early June this year. With its legendary vehicle history, design exclusively for China market and more advanced platform, it will provide China consumers with a large SUV with luxury and driving pleasure.
