When
Ford Edge occasion, you may not be familiar with this name, that I mention it around with friends, their first reaction is listening to become a “sharp boundary.” In fact, it is a whole new generation of Maverick, but for a new name.
on December 19, sharp inter-listed, and sale of 18.98-21.88 million. It is in addition to Po Wo BX3 (published price December 20), the latest listing of a car, the car is quite heavy, the equivalent of the 2019 finale models. So, how to market circumstances, our field visits to the shop.
Spring Festival premise less than the current car
Although Shanghai has nearly 10 parents Chan An Ford store, but only three have sharp occasion of the show car. Now sharp occasion of the current car supply is still very tight, on the one hand is approaching holiday factory, production slow pace.
On the other hand, the sales, the sharp occasion of cars belonging to 2020, are not included in the end of 2019 the impulse of the KPI. So many shops are not in a hurry to purchase, most stores until after New Year’s Day after another there are cars.
plus sales orders now revealed a lot, like if I explore the store that day (December 25) ordered the car, a large probability have to wait a month. Because of this, now you do not expect sharp occasion be the slightest concessions, after all, is still in short supply in the state.
At the same time, sales representation, if you are the next set in 2019 years before the Spring Festival, the car not to store it, will compensate 1888 yuan, which a shop selling call this one of the few “welfare.” But for me, this is not really what benefits because of the cost at the expense of the Chinese New Year. For many people, relatives and friends to show new car itself you can get a great sense of satisfaction during the Spring Festival.
In addition, buy sharp occasion years ago, there was no discount, and send the Ottomans in addition to filmNo outside package. Maintenance rules have not even come out, so it is not known to send several care, but I guess the first insurance should be sent.
static experience: storage space to be optimized
Because each store are not yet a test drive car, so I still experience a lot of sharp occasion in the store.
car looks real sharp interpersonal refreshing compared to most other Ford SUV, the look younger and sports. And Fox, the new sharp boundary, as it also offers two different appearance, are regular version and ST-Line, more general version of the grille, grille wavy look elegant; ST-Line’s network using hexagonal, front face looks like a raised Si Fu Rui.
However, the store show car in only with, ST-Line would also like to see a little later. Which can also be seen, the distribution may be the main selling models. Different price, different appearance of the details, the main difference between the wheels and headlights. Equipped with low and are 18-inch wheels, while the ST-Line 19-inch.
The most obvious is the difference between the lights, with only 189,800 low-halogen lamp, I guess a lot of people see this directly pass Lost. And with the above is the full LED headlamps, but there are differences, only ST-Line is with the lens.
get in the car, people feel more stylish, simple, without losing quality. It comes in two interior colors, which are beige and dark gray, and brown and dark gray, I personally feel that the former looks more a sense of quality, and more at home. But Brown looks more sports, more youthful.
and, like most new cars now, in control of the visual focus on the central control screen, the screen size to 12.3 inches. Sync + system is the biggest bright spot of the vehicle computer, a high degree of voice recognition is definitely one of the best brands in joint venture. It’s a different air-conditioning panel and overseas models, especially simple, there is no other show, because we can control its own air-conditioning by voice.
down look will find that the word AUTO AIR REFRESH, meaning fresh air system. Not only can filter PM2.5, toxic gases will be discharged in the vehicle in real time car stage, ventilation functions, similar to air system and the new car Volvo used. Here also understand from your car is sitting on the occasion of sharp smell what the smell is.
Other configurations, everything at this level, such as electronic parking brake, automatic parking, automatic start and stop, driving mode switching. However, the USB interface is relatively small, only to find a front, rear and only one. However, inter-sharp front respectively back more than a Type C interface, and at the front it has two cigarette socket, you can take more charging converter.
4S shop taboo to mention Escape and sharp interpersonal relations
Interestingly, selling it is taboo to talk Escape and sharp interpersonal relations, they said sharp occasion It is a new SUV, and even a shop called Maverick is a compact SUV, but inter is a sharp mid-sized SUV, the two do not take the Karma.
The reason why I want them, then surgery is so unified, probably because the older wing of the tiger is still to sell, so I do not want to rob the sharp occasion of its jobs. It can also be seen from the name, the occasion of sharp sounds closer to its big brother seven sharp boundary.
In practice, the size and the sharp inter Escape or less, the length and breadth of the former 4585/1882 / 1688mm, wheelbase It is 2710mm; the latter is 4524/1838 / 1701mm, wheelbase 2690mm. Wheelbase difference also two centimeters, sitting in the car you are difficult to feel anything different.
First, the sharp occasion of the front seats is quite narrow, cause you might as well think big space Maverick’s. Specifically how narrow? Compare vividly illustrate the problem the following two graphs. On the occasion of sharp, my legs splayed naturally, only one pitchIt refers to a fist; Maverick and the Fox almost pitch can naturally splayed leg reaches a fist half or more.
Inter ▲ sharp front seat width, straddled around only one finger punch
about the width of the front seats ▲ Fox, straddled the more fists
No wonder some users Tucao, sharp front occasion used the “children’s chair” the actual experience of sense does not so satisfactory. Furthermore, encapsulated in general on both sides of the flaps. I think this design, it is saying sportier appearance and some do not take.
Secondly, get in sharp interpersonal and Escape rear, legroom is about both fists, nothing really significant difference. But in comfort, sharp inter-back is still a lot better than Maverick, as the backrest angle can be adjusted, more comfortable in the long distances.
Storage space, sharp mediocre occasion, although the shift area cup holder, cell phone charger storage boxes are large, the glove box is also very deep, but there is still room for improvement. Some places design is not reasonable, for example, some narrow storage tank rear door panels, slightly larger bottle of water or a mug stuffed not go on, can only consider the center armrest. But what if three people filled the back, on the general performance of storage space.
However, the spatial flexibility, far better than sharp international design Maverick, the rear slide backward and forward, the luggage loading easier . Trunk and hold may be provided completely put flat calm manner, such limit point separator on both sides of the trunk below the full level state is.
▲ sides each have a trunk card slots
[ 123]
▲ above the bulkhead into the card, it becomes a full level
AL Channel Summary
by a static experience a short time, I think overall point of view, the occasion is a sharp balanced performance SUV, does not leave me particularly impressed, there are some other advantages, such as may be felt after thorough test drive.
For example, the vehicle computer SYNC +, sharp current international exhibition vehicle is not active. Another example is driving comfort, sharp occasion of the hood with the high cost of soft materials, in theory, help to enhance the sound insulation. There aluminum hanging bracket, in theory, improve handling vehicle ……
soft hood ▲
In short, sharp Escape the occasion as a whole new generation, it has a very important position. Whether Ford can play a turnaround, largely counting on this SUV a.
