But over time, consumers have gradually accepted Ford's current settings. Changan Ford's sales in the fourth quarter of last year increased by 1 1.8%, and the sales of various models continued to pick up.
This is a good trend in the trough, and maybe Ford will start to bottom out this year. So, what kind of lineup will Ford bring to the domestic auto market this year?
Changan Ford
Fox travel edition
Ford Focus was in charge of Ford's domestic sales. Since the arrival of a new generation of models, domestic sales can be said to be directly halved. Ford is also working hard to increase the sales of the Focus car series, such as increasing the version of the Focus ST-Line model and joining the Focus Active (cross-border version). Not only that, but it was also reported that Ford Focus Travel Edition will be introduced to China in the second half of this year.
Last year, on the website of China National Intellectual Property Administration, a set of patent drawings of Ford Focus Travel Edition were disclosed. Fox Travel Edition is based on the new generation of Fox, and the overall design elements are almost unchanged. The biggest difference is that the elongated tail makes the body of Fox Travel Edition more slender and smooth, and the storage space is also very obvious. Upgrade. ?
As for what kind of powertrain the domestic Fox Travel Edition will carry, there is no specific official news at present, but there is a high probability that the current Ecoboost will be adopted. 1.5T three-cylinder engine. ?
Fox Travel Edition will be introduced to China, which is definitely good news for domestic "crock fans". And some time ago, it also exposed the domestic Volkswagen CC? Shoot? Brakes, Peugeot 508SW is said to be imported for sale. Has this market segment started to rise?
A brand-new explorer
It's not that you are dazzled or that Bian Xiao is wrong when you see the brand-new Ford explorers classified by Changan Ford. It's that the brand-new explorers after the replacement really want to directly introduce domestic products.
A new generation of explorers made their debut in north american auto show on 20 19. In addition to the enlarged front grille and sharp and slender headlights, the biggest change of the new generation of vehicles comes from the chassis, from the original horizontal front drive platform to the latest vertical rear drive platform. On this platform, a new generation of Lincoln pilots was born.
In terms of power, does the overseas version offer 2.3T? L4, high and low power version 3.0T? V6 and 3.3L? Four different specifications of V6 hybrid power system. The domestic version is a 2.3T turbocharged engine equipped with CAF488WQGR, with a maximum horsepower of 276 horsepower. The power parameters are lower than the overseas version of the 2.3T model, which may be a compromise to meet the national six emission standards.
Sharp world two-wheel drive edition
Changan Ford Sharp was officially listed in 65438+February last year. Three models were launched in advance, all of which come standard with 2.0T engine +8-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive system.
The starting price of 189800 yuan is really not low compared with competitors at the same level. It is also inevitable to increase the entry-level version of the two-wheel drive model.
However, there is no detailed information about the Ford Sharp two-wheel drive model at present. If you come as an entry, the configuration and power are definitely lower than those of the previous four-wheel drive models.
Jiangling Ford
Xinlingjie/Lingjie EV
Last year, Jiangling Ford brought a compact SUV, followed by a pure electric EV model.
After a year, the collar industry is expected to usher in an annual change. According to the past practice, the annual redesigned models of new cars in the second year of listing should not change much, and generally only the configuration will be optimized and upgraded to enhance the product strength and meet the needs of consumers.
Of course, more information about the new Lingjie/Lingjie EV will have to wait for the further announcement of Jiangling Ford.
New road vibrator
Jiangling Ford Roadwalker, which focuses on hard-core off-road, has launched two power systems, 2.0T gasoline and 2.2T diesel. However, the power of 2.0T gasoline is not enough to pull such a big car body, while the power of 2.2T diesel seems to be less mainstream in China, and both of them are still the national emission standards.
The good news is that within this year, Broken Road will launch a brand-new gasoline version with CAF488WQGJ 2.3T engine, with a maximum power of 275 HP and a peak torque 50 Nm higher than the current 2.0T version, reaching 4 10 Nm, which can still meet the national six emission standards.
As for the appearance and interior, from the application information, there is basically no change, but the Roadwalker 2.3T model has a sports version to choose from, and many details of the body have been blackened, which seems to pay more attention to performance and is more compatible with the 2.3T engine.
Imported Ford
New fox street
Performance fans and small steel gun fans are looking forward to this year-the new generation of Fox st, yes, the small steel gun you have been thinking about is back.
From the appearance, what is the difference between the new generation Focus ST and the new generation Focus hatchback version of Changan Ford in China? In addition to the iconic "ST" logo, large-size double five-spoke wheels, and the layout of bilateral double exhaust ports, Line is really not much different.
But don't be fooled by its appearance. This is a small steel gun. Ford replaced this generation of Focus ST with a more powerful "heart", which is also the biggest attraction of this generation of Focus ST-2.3t? EcoBoost gasoline engine has a maximum horsepower of 280 horsepower, a peak torque of 420 Nm, and an acceleration time of less than 6 seconds per 100 kilometers, which is quite hard core.
Brand-new SUV/PUMA
In addition to the above models, Ford also plans to launch a brand-new SUV model in the second half of this year. This new model may be the Ford Bronco, which focuses on hard-core off-road performance, or the brand-new Ford PUMA. However, according to the current domestic market, the probability of puma introduction will be even greater.
The new puma is positioned between Wing Bo and Wing Tiger, and the overseas version is equipped with 1.0T? EcoBoost three-cylinder gasoline engine has high and low power versions. The maximum horsepower of the low-power version 125 horsepower, and the maximum horsepower of the high-power version 155 horsepower are equipped with a light mixing system of 12V/48V.
If Ford PUMA is introduced, then it and Wing Bo should compete in different market segments like Wing Tiger and Sharp International. However, compared with puma, puma does look more lovely and delicate on the whole. If the price is not so outrageous, it should be very popular with consumers.
Chang 'an Lincoln
Having said that, Ford naturally has to mention its luxury brand-Lincoln. There are not many new cars that Lincoln will introduce into China in 2020, but there are some bright spots, because Lincoln will be made in China!
Brand-new adventurer
The news that Lincoln will be made in China caused a sensation last year. The first model is a brand-new adventurer produced by Changan Lincoln.
This model is considered to be the successor of Lincoln MKC. The overseas version is called pirate ship. It is equipped with a 2.0T engine with 245 horsepower and a peak torque of 390 Nm. Matching 8AT gearbox, two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models are optional. There will be plug-in hybrid models in the future.
Some time ago, Lincoln also announced the pre-sale price of brand-new adventurers, which was 248,000-350,000 yuan. Many people may think it's a little high, after all, it's made in China now. But this is only the pre-sale price, and the price will often be lower after the official listing. As for when to go public, the official will definitely be in March this year.
Brand-new pilot
Lincoln adventurer in Chang 'an is just the beginning. Lincoln also said that in the next three years, three domestic models will be launched one after another, including brand-new fliers positioned in medium and large scale.
As mentioned earlier, Ford's brand-new explorer will soon be introduced to China, and Lincoln aviator will naturally enter China (after all, it is convenient to do things from the same vertical platform).
At present, according to the application information, the domestic new flyer will carry 3.0T? V6 engine, with a maximum horsepower of 355 horsepower, is expected to match the 10AT gearbox, with full-time four-wheel drive. It is said that four-cylinder entry-level models and plug-in hybrid models will be launched for the China market in the future.
finally
Needless to say, how hot the domestic SUV market has been in recent years, more than 80% of Ford's models launched in the domestic market are SUV models, and brand-new explorers, brand-new adventurers, brand-new fliers and other high-end market models have also been put into domestic production, further lowering the price. It seems that Ford has done a lot of homework and has gradually worked hard in the direction of domestic consumers' preferences. Whether you can pull back a city depends on this year.
