Family Travel Test Drive Add "New Favorite" Jiangling Ford Yu Ling Seven-seat Edition

With the gradual opening of the national birth policy, the proportion of families with two or even three children will gradually increase. Faced with the concentrated travel needs of a family of six to seven people, major car companies have also increased their research and development efforts on 6/7 products. This is also a good opportunity for Jiangling Ford Yu Ling, which focuses on luxury space, to further seize market share.

With the establishment of Jiangling Ford Technology, the cooperation between the two parties has been further upgraded, and the development of passenger car business will also usher in a significant speed-up stage. As a positioning "high-quality home SUV", Yu Ling immediately followed up with seven-seat models to meet the increasingly complex travel needs of consumers.

At present, Jiangling Ford has covered 5-seat version, 6-seat version and 7-seat 2+3+2 and 2+2+3 models to choose from. While inheriting the Ford gene, it also has a unique "personality" for the China market. Can this "big guy" jointly developed by Jiangling and Ford become the new favorite of family travel? Let's take you to experience the performance of Jiangling Ford Yu Ling seven-seat model in detail!

American Design of "Ford Flavor"

Jiangling Ford has positioned itself as a medium and large SUV, and its design level has a strong "American flavor" inherited from Ford. At the same time, Yuling has a unique "China personality" because it is mainly tailor-made for the families it manages or families with two or three children in China.

Yu Ling's exterior design was designed by Ford Australia Center, adopting the latest family-style facial makeup, and incorporating the elements of starry sky and waves into the design. The oversized front grille contains a large number of horizontal chrome trim strips, which greatly broadens the visual tension of the front face.

In terms of headlight group, Yu Ling is the first Ford model with split headlights in China. From top to bottom, there are LED daytime running lights, LED turn signals, far and near lights and fog lights. In addition, Yu Ling's headlights also have a follow-up steering function.

In terms of body size, Yu Ling's length, width and height are 4905/ 1930/ 1755mm respectively, and its wheelbase is 2865mm, which is between Sharp and Explorers, and has just reached the entry threshold for medium and large SUVs. The side lines of the whole vehicle are mostly outlined in straight lines, and with the slender body, a strong and powerful shape is created. In addition, the back of Yu Ling is equipped with privacy glass to ensure the privacy of passengers in the car.

In terms of tires, the car adopts Maxcontact MC6 series, which is a type that pays attention to silence and comfort while giving consideration to good grip, and its 20-inch aluminum alloy rim shape is slightly ordinary.

Finally, let's look at the rear of the vehicle. The design of the rear of Yu Ling is not too radical, but it is relatively stable as a whole. Nowadays, the popular through taillights are quite satisfactory in shape, and the exhaust design on both sides below also adds some sporty atmosphere to them.

Tencent Thai 4.0 car system with brand-new interior

Yu Ling's interior is a brand-new design that is more suitable for domestic consumers' car habits, and will also become the mainstream style of Ford's automotive interior design in the future. The interior of the vehicle adopts two-color matching, supplemented by a large area of leather wrap and some wood grain decoration, which has a very delicate touch and enhances the luxury of the interior.

The steering wheel of the car is also wrapped in leather, which feels compact and comfortable, and integrates various vehicle control buttons including car WeChat. It is worth mentioning that although Yu Ling's positioning is closer to the family car scene, it is still equipped with shift paddles, which also improves the driving pleasure to some extent.

The most eye-catching part of the interior is the double 12.3-inch floating integrated smart screen with a resolution of 1920*720, which supports multi-touch and has good display effect and response speed.

Nowadays, intelligent and modern driving experience can better meet the diverse needs of users. In this regard, a number of brands with new forces in making cars are undoubtedly ahead of the times, and Jiangling Ford has also made "special enhancements" for its models.

The seven-seat model of this test drive is equipped with Tencent TAI 4.0 intelligent vehicle system. The system's built-in functions such as car WeChat and Tencent mini-scene can largely meet consumers' escalating online social needs. At the same time, Yu Ling is the first model of Tencent to provide AR real-life navigation, and its AR image can be projected on the dashboard or central control screen.

At the same time, the popular speech recognition control system is not absent, and a "Hello, Ford" can be opened. The voice system can also control multimedia, central control panel and air conditioner, and can realize window-splitting operation.

In terms of mobile phone interconnection, it is more friendly to the connection experience of Android users and supports the connection between Baidu CarLife and Huawei HiCar. Huawei's mobile phone can support Bluetooth connection and direct wireless screen projection, which greatly improves the convenience of use.

It is worth mentioning that the car has a wireless charging panel under the center console and a built-in USB charging interface in the storage area below, which can meet the daily charging needs. However, during the charging process of this wireless charging panel, the phenomenon of mobile phone heating is more serious, and the charging efficiency needs to be improved.

Flexible space choice to meet different family needs.

For Yu Ling, who focuses on home users, it is obviously not enough to have a wide body size, and the efficiency of its internal space is undoubtedly the key factor affecting the user experience. The first two rows of seats in the car are all adjusted by electric seats, and the adjustment range is very large, so the seating space is well guaranteed. In addition, the seven-seat version of Yu Ling also offers 2+3+2 and 2+2+3 seating layouts, which greatly improves the flexibility of choice.

Thanks to its good body size and wheelbase, Yu Ling is not the kind of "regular" seven-seat vehicle. The third row of seats can still have good leg space under the condition of ensuring the comfort of the front passengers, which is enough to meet the riding experience of an adult. In addition, the third row of seats is also equipped with a USB charging port, which can meet the charging needs of passengers in all positions of the whole car and bring a better ride and entertainment experience.
