According to media reports, Ruiji PHEV will be officially launched at the Chongqing Auto Show on June 12. The appearance of the new car continues the design of the fuel version, and the biggest change is the plug-in hybrid system composed of 1.5T engine and motor.

The appearance of the continuation of the fuel version of the design, the front face is equipped with a large dot matrix intake grille, both sides of the headlights connected to it. At the same time, the new car also simplifies the cross-border style of the fuel version, and its front lip, side skirt and rear guard plate are all designed in the same color as the car body. in terms of size, the sharp length, width and height are 4585 × 1882 × 1688mm respectively, and the wheelbase of 2710mm also has certain advantages compared with the same class models.

The interior still uses Ford's latest interior design, with a combination of central control screen and LCD screen, with a suspended central control screen of 12.3in and a built-in SYNC+ system. In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 1.5T engine code-named "CAF384WQ2P", the maximum power is 125kW, and the peak power of the drive motor is 96kW.

It is understood that the Ruiji fuel version was officially launched in December 2019, the car is equipped with 2.0T turbocharged engine + 8AT gearbox, the price range is 18.98-218800 yuan, high configuration and low price strategy has become an important step for Changan Ford to seek recovery. Data show that Changan Ford Rui Ji sold 39493 vehicles in 2020, making it the best-selling model under Changan Ford.

Changan Ford has launched a plug-in hybrid model on the basis of the Ruiji fuel version, which may further expand Ruiji's sales performance, but because it is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine, coupled with the poor performance of the plug-in hybrid model itself, it is expected that it will be difficult to provide large sales for Ruiji.

The declaration map of the Ruiji PHEV model was exposed as early as last year, and the new car was officially unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show on April 19th. According to the positioning of Ruiji PHEV, its main competitors are Honda CR-V plug-in hybrid and Toyota Rong Rong dual-engine eBay / Velanda high-performance version. According to the price of the competing models and the Ruiji fuel version, the starting price of the Ruiji PHEV should be around 250000 yuan. Of course, the final price still needs to be announced officially, and we will continue to pay attention to how the Ruiji PHEV model will perform in the market.
