Yitauto Original Nowadays, when many young people buy cars, they are more concerned about the performance of a car, and the direct factor of whether the performance is good or not depends on the power configuration. Looking at the joint venture SUV market worth RMB 150,000 to RMB 200,000, it is rare to find a 2.0T powered version. Because most German cars at the same price can only buy the 2.0T low-power version, and Japanese cars can only buy the 2.0L self-priming or 1.5T version.
But there is one car that has an advantage in this regard, and that is the Ford Edge. Since its launch, it has attracted the attention of many young people. With the entire series equipped with 2.0T+8AT, the new car also provides four-wheel drive options, and its entry price is only 169,800 yuan, which can be described as a "dark horse" in its class. So for friends who are paying attention to this car, how to choose among the 6 models launched? Next, let’s see which one is most suitable for you through configuration analysis.
Ruiji has 6 models to choose from, with prices ranging from 169,800 to 218,800 yuan. In terms of power, all new cars are equipped with 2.0T+8AT and are equipped with a four-wheel drive system. It is worth mentioning that in the price range of 170,000-190,000, Ruiji is the only joint venture model equipped with 2.0T four-wheel drive.
Introduction to model highlights
In terms of appearance, the Ford Edge continues the overall design style of the overseas version, adopting the family's latest octagonal grille design, giving it a youthful style. It also provides dual appearance options of Titanium version and ST-LINE version. The main differences are in some details to meet the personalized needs of different users.
Titanium version appearance
ST-LINE version appearance
The side adopts a design concept officially called "water drop shape", combined with the low-sloping A-pillar, making the vehicle look ready to go. In terms of size, the length, width and height are 4585/1882/1688mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2710mm, which has certain advantages in the same class.
In terms of the interior, the central control has a simple and elegant shape. Most of the function buttons are replaced by a suspended 12.3-inch large screen. It is equipped with the SYNC+ intelligent semantic car system jointly developed with Baidu, which is very powerful. In addition to supporting functions such as online navigation, audio-visual entertainment, and voice recognition control, it is also equipped with the only remote start function in its class, OTA upgrades, and the only audiophile-level B&O brand audio configuration in its class.
In terms of power, all Ruiji series are equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 248Ps and a maximum torque of 393N·m; the transmission system is matched with an 8AT gearbox. Official acceleration to 100 kilometersThe time is only 7.5 seconds, which is excellent among family SUVs in the same class. At the same time, some models are equipped with an intelligent detachable four-wheel drive system, which can switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive in milliseconds during daily driving, which not only meets the needs of performance, but also takes into account certain fuel economy.
Car body color design
Ruiji offers a total of 5 exterior colors to choose from: Glossy White, Serenity Blue, Glimpse Black, Moonset White and Danxia Red. From the current 4S stores, we know that there are more people choosing Serenity Blue, which is more coordinated with its body style and can easily win the favor of young people.
In terms of interior color matching, the entry-level Youxiang model only offers plain gray interiors, while the top-end indulgent ST-LINE model is equipped with exclusive black interiors. The remaining models have two color options: plain gray and elegant brown. .
In terms of tires, except for the entry-level Youxiang model, which is equipped with 17-inch tires, and the top-end indulgent model ST-LINE, which is equipped with 19-inch tires, the other four models are equipped with 18-inch tires. Usually 18-inch tires are more common in household SUVs, which not only make the vehicle look more atmospheric, but also play a role in handling and reducing wind resistance.
Analysis of various configurations
Two-wheel drive leisurely model
Recommended index: ★★★
The two-wheel drive Premium model is the entry-level model in the entire series, and it is also the cheapest. The lower price is also very attractive to everyone. Its overall power performance has not been compromised, and its configuration is not too shabby either. It is equipped with functions such as reversing image, halogen headlights, automatic headlights, 12.3-inch central control screen, automatic air conditioning, cruise control, keyless entry on the driver's side and one-button start, tire pressure display, and a panoramic sunroof that can be opened. The basic configuration is still the same. Quite complete.
For daily household transportation, this car is quite practical. Of course, some friends may say that the 17-inch tires are small, but it has not done anything to lose face in its appearance design. It is still very sporty. Even with halogen headlights, it will not be difficult to retrofit LEDs later.
Personally, I feel that if the budget is not particularly sufficient, you can definitely buy this car, but after all, due to cost constraints, it lacks comfort and some luxurious and convenient configurations. In addition, as an entry-level car, the car supply is not particularly rich, and considering that many people will not choose entry-level low-end cars when buying a car, it is better to spend more money and buy a mid-end car to avoid regrets later on.

For perfectionists, this model is worth buying.

This depends on individual car needs.

At the same time, adaptive high and low beam headlights, an electric trunk, a full LCD instrument, electric folding exterior mirrors, and multi-layer soundproof glass are also added, which greatly improves the convenience of driving for daily driving.
