It can be used for both off-road and home use. Uncle Che is driving a brand-new Ford Explorer in the mountainous area in the suburbs of Beijing.

The sunshine in autumn is quiet and warm, and the breeze is warm and gentle. The suburb of Beijing, which is surrounded by mountains and waters, is the most attractive season of the year, and it also provides the best place for the whole family to travel and camp. At this time, a medium and large SUV that can take care of the needs of all occupants has become the first choice for family or friends to travel together. The brand-new Ford Explorer, which just went on the market in September this year, may bring you a more pleasant travel experience.

As the flagship SUV of Changan Ford, Explorer has a large market share in medium and large SUVs. The sales volume of new cars and the preservation rate of used cars are good, but for younger and younger consumers, this car will still feel greasy.

Compared with the old models, the new Ford Explorer looks more gorgeous under the blessing of the new design concept.

The whole system comes standard with LED low beam lights and LED daytime running lights, which makes it look more dazzling at night and has comprehensive functions, including adaptive low beam, headlight height adjustment, headlight delay closing and so on. In addition, the PAAK smartphone key is standard, which can start the welcome mode within 7 meters of the distance between people and vehicles, and the vehicle can be automatically unlocked within 4 meters.

On the side of the car body, the straight outline makes the car body look tall and slender. Under the blessing of the suspended roof design, it not only has a very burly visual effect, but also ensures the face value. At the same time, new styles of wheels are available for selection.

Even if the whole family goes out for a long trip, there is enough room for all the luggage.

The interior has also changed a lot. In the past, the vertical screen was almost interesting, both in texture and design. This time, a 27-inch giant screen was placed on the car and extended to the front of the co-driver. In addition, 12.3-inch full-color digital LCD instrument panel and 17-inch high-definition full-color TFT HUD head-up projection display are all standard, and the overall sense of technology is much better than before, and the three screens can be interconnected.
