Basic situation:

Ford Escape is the first model of Ford China 2.0 strategy. Its prototype is a replacement model of Escape. It is called Escape in the North American market and Escape in the European market. For Kuga, because the old Escape has not been withdrawn from the market, Ford's new generation of compact SUV has a new name in the Chinese market.

In terms of appearance design, the overall style of Ruiji is basically the same as the overseas version of Escape, but localized improvements have been made in details to be more in line with Chinese aesthetics. Ruiji uses a smooth and undulating shape as its main tone, abandoning sharp ripples to make the visual effect softer and fuller. The redesigned front face is the biggest difference from the Escape. Ruiji adopts a dual front face design, Yuexiang/Jiaxiang models use a large-size polygonal air intake grille, with chrome star points and horizontal strips for more imposing decoration; ST-LINE models adopt a global hexagonal grille shape.

The Ruiji side waistline is inspired by the dynamic aesthetics of water drops, using a muscular curved surface to create a smart light and shadow effect. The rear of the car adopts a three-dimensional large taillight design, which widens the left and right horizontal vision and echoes the chrome-plated trapezoidal dual exhaust tailpipes. The drag coefficient is as low as 0.33, which is at the leading level among cars in its class.

The center console uses a large area of ??environmentally friendly soft materials, with very good texture and touch. It is available in three different interior colors: elegant brown, plain gray, and dark black. Double stitching is used in many places such as the door interior panels, center armrest box and center console to further highlight the high-end quality. Ford's SYNC+ Zhixing infotainment system, combined with Baidu's core artificial intelligence technology, supports the identification of 70 semantic categories including weather, knowledge encyclopedia, news, etc., and can interact with the car owner's various natural voices.

In terms of body size, Changan Ford Ruiji’s length, width and height are 4585mm, 1882mm, and 1688mm respectively, and its wheelbase is 2710mm, which is better than its old rivals such as Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Adults of standard size sit in the back row, and there is about two fists of legroom left, which can meet the space needs of target customers. To further enhance practicality, the second-row seats can slide 150mm front and rear.

In terms of power system, all Ruiji series come standard with a combination of 2.0T engine + 8-speed automatic transmission + four-wheel drive system, which shows Ford's emphasis on driving experience and dynamic performance. The fourth-generation EcoBoost? 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 182kw and a maximum torque of 393Nm, which is 20kw and 43Nm higher than the 162kw and 350Nm of the Volkswagen Tiguan L?380TSI. According to official data, the Ruiji's acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is 7.5 seconds, and its comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as low as 7.6 liters; it ranks among the best in its class in terms of acceleration and fuel economy.

The standard four-wheel drive system of all series is another selling point of Ruiji in terms of performance. The new generation of detachable intelligent four-wheel drive system can take into account the fuel consumption of two-wheel drive vehicles and the performance of four-wheel drive vehicles; the four-wheel drive system can Four-wheel torque is accurately distributed according to different road conditions, and two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive can be quickly switched in milliseconds. In two-wheel drive state, the rear-wheel drive can be completely cut off to avoid idling of the transmission shaft and achieve better fuel economy. Ruiji adopts lightweight aluminum alloy suspension, which reduces weight by more than 50% compared with traditional suspension and reduces unsprung mass, achieving faster chassis response, sharper steering feel and better shock absorption effect. In order to allow drivers to cope with various complex road conditions more calmly, Ruiji provides five driving modes: standard, economy, sport, anti-skid, snow and sand.

Mao Mao Xinlan’s point of view:

Unlike those competitors who lower the price threshold by launching beggar models, the Ford Ruiji entry-level model has a higher configuration level and a comparable power system. It is not shrunk compared to high-end models, which is something worthy of praise. From the perspective of pricing and positioning, FAW-Volkswagen Tanyue is the most direct competitor of Ford Ruiji. In addition to its richer configurations at a similar price, Ruiji’s advantage is that it is also more competitive in terms of dynamic performance. The 2.0T The engine is more powerful, the 8-speed automatic transmission is more advantageous in terms of smoothness and reliability, and it also comes standard with four-wheel drive.

Looking forward to the future market trend of Ford Ruiji, judging from the market performance of Volkswagen Tanyue's monthly sales volume of more than 20,000 units in the fourth quarter of last year, Mao Mao believes that the monthly sales volume of Ruiji exceeding 10,000 units is It can be expected that its entry into the market will make competition in the compact SUV market more intense.

"Sports" and "national car" are particularly important parts of the Ford brand gene, and Ruiji has given the best interpretation with its excellent dynamic performance and highly competitive price.
