As one of the oldest car companies in the world, Ford has a history of a hundred years, and its Model T car launched in the last century was once popular all over the world. Ford's pace on electric cars seems to be a little slow. Now that the EV, Ford's first all-electric SUV leader, is finally belated, it will officially hit the Chinese market on Aug. 16, so let's take a look at this new car.

In terms of appearance, as an oil-to-electric model, the exterior design of the EV is highly consistent with the fuel version, which is obviously different from the fuel version only on the exclusive low wind resistance wheel ring, and the rest does not give people too many surprises. However, judging from its full body posture and full and powerful body lines, although the territorial EV is not a muscle car, it also has a sense of strength of the American SUV.

On the interior decoration, the EV uses a large number of soft bag materials in the center console, steering wheel and door panel, while the shift mechanism changes to the popular knob type, in which the console keys use piano painting technology, with the 10.1in touchable HD display screen and the center console shuttle knob, which is convenient in operation.

In terms of power, the Ford leading EV carries a battery capacity of 49kwh and an energy density of 141.8 whip KG driving range of up to 360km under NEDC operating conditions. Its motor uses an all-in-one motor from BergWarner with a peak power of 120kw and an acceleration performance of 9.6 seconds for 100 kilometers, which is not outstanding in the electric car camp, but it is worth mentioning that this motor adopts new technology and is very well controlled in noise control and kinetic energy recovery, which gives people a real sense of Ford's solid foundation in driving adjustment.

Generally speaking, if you want to comment on Ford's leading EV in one sentence, it is well-behaved, and its appearance does not have many bright spots, but it has many noteworthy points in terms of its practicality, such as its good space performance, excellent handling performance and more intelligent operation interaction. As a pure electric SUV with a pre-price of 199000 to 223000, the domain EV can be counted as a qualified household SUV. As Ford's first pure electric SUV, whether the leading EV can make a good start for Ford in China's new energy market remains to be seen.
