(Keywords: hybrid special 2.0T, 7.1s, zero-gravity seat, 2+2+3 seat layout)

It’s a beautiful day in April, when flowers are blooming and enjoying spring, camping in spring is a hot topic at the moment. It’s necessary for the whole family to travel and a large-size SUV. Sharp L is such an all-round SUV that can meet various car scenes. It has enough space, mild off-road ability and three rows of seats. Compared with compact SUVs, what different experiences can such a medium-sized SUV bring? Is it worth starting with more than 200,000? Let’s analyze it in detail.

Yi si, Rui Jie l driving experience

Compared with MPV, which also has a large space, the driving experience is more important for SUV. Sharp L is equipped with two power systems, giving users more choices, including traditional fuel power and hybrid power. The engines belong to the fifth-generation Ecoboost series, with dual injection mode and central OCV control valve, etc., which combines in-cylinder direct injection and manifold injection. 350Bar high-pressure in-cylinder injection makes fuel atomization more thorough, while reducing the problem that direct injection engines are prone to carbon deposition. The variable timing of the central OCV VVT valve is faster than that of the lateral OCV, which can "breathe" the engine more freely and improve fuel economy.

After the compression ratio increased, compared with Sharp, Sharp L increased from 245 horsepower to 252 horsepower, and the power of the entry model was completely sufficient. On the specially tuned hybrid version, the peak torque of the engine increased from 378Nm to 405Nm, plus the help of the motor for low torque at low speed.The hybrid version has a stronger acceleration ability, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers takes only 7.1 seconds, reaching the result of a small steel gun. Coupled with Ford-style chassis training, medium-sized SUVs can also have driving pleasure..

In addition, the hybrid also solves the problem of fuel consumption for medium-sized SUVs. When the battery is fed, Sharp L can also park at idle speed, and the internal combustion engine directly drives the motor to charge, preparing for subsequent use. When driving at medium and high speeds, the motor and the internal combustion engine can be freely combined according to the efficiency interval, and the high-speed internal combustion engine has more advantages. Under the WLTC test of hybrid two-wheel drive, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.31L, which is more fuel-efficient than the traditional pure fuel SUV.

Easy travel, three rows of space, mechanical four-wheel drive

For a medium-sized SUV, the biggest difference from a compact SUV is the three-row seat layout. For users who have only one car at home, it is obviously more suitable for the whole family to travel in a seven-seat car. The whole length of 5 meters, the wheelbase of 2.95 meters and the width of 1.961 meters make the interior space of Sharp spacious. Interestingly, Ford provides three completely different seat layouts, including 5 seats, 2+2+3 seats and 2+3+. The design of "2+2+3" can meet the users who have great demand for the second row, and the width of the middle channel is 200mm, so it can easily enter and exit the third row.

The super model and above have a one-button near-zero gravity seat mode, the backrest angle of the second row of seats is automatically adjusted backward by 41 degrees, the slide rail runs for 42mm, and the leg rests support the legs, so that the SUV can also enjoy the seat comfort of the business MPV. The front and rear seats of the Extreme Edition have heating and ventilation functions.

Sharp L is an all-around vehicle that can be slightly off-road. Compared with the common electric four-wheel drive (rear axle is driven by motor) of today’s hybrid vehicles, Sharp L hybrid and fuel version are both more reliable mechanical four-wheel drives, with the front and rear torques instantaneously switched from 0-100%. Multi-disc clutches are located on the rear axle differential, and four-wheel electronic auxiliary braking is adopted. The daily driving power is more distributed to the front wheels, saving fuel. When driving on unpaved roads, if

IKEA, safety analysis

For family cars, the safety of each row of three rows of seats needs to be considered. The frame part of Sharp L is mainly made of high-strength steel, and the utilization rate of steel with strength above 600Mpa exceeds 51%, while the boron steel with strength of 1300MPa accounts for 29.5% of the whole car, which is rare. This is also the detail of American-made cars. The whole system comes standard with 7 airbags, which can take care of the three rows of passengers, even if there is a side collision. L2+ and Co-Polit 360 Zhixing driver assistance systems include BlueCruise active driver assistance, which further increases the safety of vehicles.

The battery safety of the hybrid version is also a point of concern to everyone. The battery of Sharp L adopts low nickel ternary lithium to eliminate the risk of thermal runaway, and has a water cooling system. Compared with the traditional non-plug-in hybrid model, water cooling is safer than air cooling, and the battery can be kept at a reasonable working temperature.

Appropriate friends, design and intelligence

Traveling with friends, how to make the car laugh and laugh all the way, is naturally inseparable from the internal entertainment configuration. Good design can not only satisfy self-enjoyment, but also do what you like without being disturbed. Ford keeps up with the trend, with a 12.3-inch +27-inch penetrating screen in the front row, with Wifi and OTA upgrades.

SYNC+2.0 Zhixing Internet, which has three-dimensional interactive ability, combines vision, voice and touch, and allows everyone to find accompanying fun in the most natural interactive way, such as following dramas, listening to songs and navigating. Extreme B&O stereo with 12 speakers, even music enthusiasts don’t need to upgrade later.

Car detective’s point of view:Compared with the old Sharp, Sharp L has a larger body size, and the third row of the three-row seat layout is no longer an "emergency bench". On the hardware level, Sharp L’s chassis control, hybrid technology and hard core safety make the product have hard power. At the same time, it combines the needs of intelligence and comfort to form a new model that is suitable for private, travel, IKEA and friends, and a variety of lives are fully settled. What do you think of Sharp L, which starts at 229,800? Welcome to discuss.
