The big seven-seater joint venture, the whole family is happy, test drive JMC Ford Lingyu

What is the approximate price of medium and large SUVs of the

joint venture brand? I'm not sure about the highest price, there are higher ones and higher ones. But what is certain is that the lowest price should be more than 200,000 yuan. However, after the appearance of this car today, the price of a medium and large SUV of a joint venture brand dropped below 200,000 yuan in an instant.



Today I want to talk to you about a medium and large SUV under Jiangling Ford - Jiangling Ford Lingyu. In fact, this car has been on the market for a while, so I won’t explain too much about its appearance and interior, you can enjoy it through pictures. Today's focus is to share with you the few places that impressed me the most about this car.



I have been driving this car for about a week, and there are three things that impressed me the most.

The first point is practical.

Jiangling Ford Lingyu is a medium-to-large SUV. The size, wheelbase and space performance of the vehicle are all at the superior level among models of this class. In addition, this car has a 5/6/7 seat layout, which can meet users with different needs. The 7-seater version I tested this time.

standing on the side can see that the side design of this car is relatively simple, and there are not too many concave shapes, which leaves room for play inside.



The second row must be well received. The two independent seats both support electric front and rear adjustment and backrest adjustment, and provide seat ventilation, heating and independent air conditioning for the second row of seats, which is very rare. Imagine a family traveling, the second row is most likely to be the elderly, so the comfort of the second row is in place, the elderly are comfortable, and the children are more at ease.



The third row is also commendable. Everyone is saying that the third row of a 7-seater SUV is doable, and passengers have no "human rights". For Lingyu, obviously not. I have tested many 7-seater SUVs before. The third-row seats of most models are a bit low, and the height from the seat cushion to the floor is very small. Adults sit on it without support for their legs, and it feels like sitting on a small bench. In the actual experience of the test drive Lingyu, I am 1.8m tall, sitting in the third row, and the overall sitting posture is quite comfortable.



This is thanks to a mechanism under the third row of seats. When we put down the third row, the seat cushion moves down so that the backrest is flush with the trunk; when the third row is used, the seat moves up again to ensure the height of the seat cushion to the floor. This ingenious design needs to add chicken legs to the designer. In addition, the backrest of the third row supports multi-level adjustment, and is equipped with air-conditioning outlets and USB ports. For long-distance trips, adults will not feel aggrieved sitting in the third row, let alone children.



The second point is easy to use. The

Lingyu is equipped with Tencent TAI 3.0 car-machine system, and the overall function is very powerful. The first is navigation. This car supports AR real-scene navigation. There are virtual arrows indicating which lane to take and how to turn, just like playing a speeding game. In addition, the AR navigation screen can also be switched to the dashboard, which looks more convenient. One thing to say, this function is more common on the high-end luxury new energy vehicle , but it is very rare in joint venture brand SUV models at this level and at this price.



In addition, the car-machine system also integrates many ecological functions, such as station B, Mango TV, Himalaya , on-board WeChat, etc., can be operated and played on the large central control screen. The entire large screen is sensitive to touch and very silky.

In addition, this car is not only equipped with active safety configurations such as merging assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, active braking, etc., but also 360° panoramic images, reversing side warning, full-speed adaptive cruise system, and automatic parking. Auxiliary configurations such as car entry, the configuration is very rich.In actual use,



has a very good experience, especially the adaptive cruise and and 360° panoramic images. During long-distance driving, when adaptive cruise is turned on, the timing of acceleration and braking is more precise than that of old drivers. When walking some complicated road sections, you can check the surrounding situation through high-definition images, and you have a feeling that everything is under control.



The third point, easy to open.

In the past few days to commute to and from get off work, I always drive this car. The overall feeling is just two words: easy to drive. The combination of 2.0T engine + 6-speed wet dual-clutch, although the standard mode does not feel vigorous, the power is long and lasting. The starting speed is brisk, and the throttle is strong in the middle and rear. The most important thing is that it is very smooth, and there is almost no sense of frustration. Such a character is very suitable for home use.



If you adjust the driving mode to sport mode and step on the accelerator deeply, the engine is very willing to work hard at this time. You think that a mature man who is old and young has no passion. Wrong, as long as you are willing to cheer, the passion hidden in your heart will be stimulated immediately.



Summary

With the liberalization of the three-tire policy, models with large spaces and multiple seats are becoming more and more popular in the market, after all, just need it. On the Jiangling Ford Lingyu, I saw what a big family car should look like, with a large space, complete configuration, strong practicality, and it drives well. Of course, the most important thing is that the price is very down-to-earth. The starting price is about 170,000 yuan, and the maximum configuration is just over 220,000 yuan. In the joint venture medium and large SUV market, you really can’t find a second one at this price.
