Fitness and weight loss seems to have become a topic that can be seen everywhere in this era. In order to have a healthy body and a perfect figure, many people have to continuously carry out strict fat loss training, weight management and diet control. In fact, weight loss is not just for human beings. For cars, realizing the “lightweight” design of cars is like strict “weight loss and fat management”. Every gram of weight saved is inseparable from the unremitting efforts of automotive engineers behind the scenes. And the new Ford Escape has become a “fitness expert” who has lost 200 catties under the engineers’ unceasing craftsmanship.
So what is car lightweight? Why do you want to lightweight the car? To put it simply, the lightweight of a car actually refers to reducing the curb weight of the car as much as possible while maintaining the original driving safety, shock resistance and comfort. In this way, while reducing the fuel consumption and emissions of the vehicle, it will also improve the acceleration performance, braking performance, steering performance and climbing performance. Because of this, the practical application of lightweight technology is very important to the development of complete vehicles, and it has always been the goal that many car companies are constantly pursuing and striving to achieve.
For Ford, which has always been committed to providing consumers with an excellent driving experience, the “lightweight” of the new Ford Escape is also an important topic for Ford engineers to study and overcome. The engineers did not hesitate to use a large amount of aluminum alloy materials with higher cost in the design, and applied aluminum alloy materials to multiple parts such as the hood, anti-collision beams, and suspension. At the same time, based on the century-old Ford research and development technology, it has continuously innovated and made breakthroughs, and designed a more reliable, more stable, and lighter body structure for the new Ford Escape, allowing it to have higher body torsional rigidity. The car is as flexible as the light body of a sportsman, and it is more flexible in acceleration, braking, cornering and other control performances. Some spare parts are made of new durable and lightweight materials, which further reduce the weight of the body while being durable. Let the new Ford Escape bring the driver a comfortable driving experience with a “lighter” appearance, and also bring Ford’s unique driving DNA to a new level.
On the other hand, the engineers of the new Ford Escape are built on the basis of Ford’s new global mid-size car platform. Every inch of the design is condensed with ingenuity to make it have a perfect body proportion. The lower, wider, and more slender shape design makes the overall body look more agile visually, and the streamlined design style is skillfully applied to create a smooth yet powerful body line. For example, the line extending from the engine compartment cover to the rear, the A-pillar that dives upward quickly, and the C-pillar that descends faster, reduce the drag coefficient and make the body posture more vigorous, giving people a powerful visual effect. It has become the trend vane in the SUV market.
The all-new Ford Escape not only takes great pains in terms of appearance and lightweight design, but also has a powerful “inner core” in the power combination, which will be equipped with a brand-new 1.5L EcoBoost® engine and an upgraded version of the 2.0L EcoBoost with twin-scroll technology ® engine, equipped with a new 8-speed automatic transmission, ignites the passion for speed all the way forward at any time. At the same time, the all-new Ford Escape will also provide two car series options: the refined and trendy Titanium and the fashionable and sporty ST-Line. With different styles of fashion temperament and the same ingenuity, they will jointly lead the new trend of future car design.
Facts have proved that the subversive innovation of a product not only needs to provide a product of higher quality than the current market, but also needs to have the courage to take responsibility and be willing to contribute to the industry’s pioneering spirit. The new Ford Escape is backed by Ford’s century-old car manufacturing strength, and has been consolidated and tried by a professional R&D team step by step. Let consumers enjoy more relaxed driving fun, I believe that there will be a good market performance after listing.
