the unfamiliar ford equator is a large
crossover with two or three rows of
seats designed specifically for the
chinese market and has become a more
affordable alternative to the explorer
model here
at the heart of the equator is a simple
front-wheel drive platform with a
transverse engine arrangement and prices
start at twenty six thousand dollars
versus forty eight thousand dollars for
the explorer
and now the equator has a younger
brother a shortened ford equator sport
is presented at the guangzhou motor show
the new equator sport is a brand new
vehicle under its skin even though it
may have borrowed a few design cues from
its bigger sibling
it flaunts the same front fascia which
features a large radiator grille flanked
by thin lead headlights with c-shaped
dials as equator
the chunky front bumper along with a
silver-coloured skid plate gives the suv
a rugged appeal
the side profile adds to the muscular
appeal with massive wheel arches and
door sills wrapped by black claddings
the 20-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels along
with sharp creases on side panels add a
hint of sophistication to the suv
at rear the design is almost similar to
the large equator but sport misses out
on the lead stripe connecting the
taillights
the major variation is the smaller
dimensions of equator sport
the suv
offers a wheelbase of
2765 millimeters which is 140
millimeters shorter than the larger
equator
the overall length stands at
4630 millimeters which makes it similar
to the territory midsize suv
sold by ford in south american markets
equator sport stands tall at one
thousand seven hundred and fifty
millimeters which is similar to the
standard equator
the same approach
applies to interior decoration
architecturally everything here is like
that of the big ford equator the screens
of devices and media systems under a
single glass
a two level central tunnel
a gearbox control washer
however the front panel itself is
different the arrangement of the keys
has been changed and even the door
panels
have their own design
from the equipment declared panoramic
roof all round cameras and adaptive
cruise control co-pilot 360 with a
camera and radar
under the hood is a 1.5 litre
turbocharged gasoline engine for which
ford says is brand new and this is its
first application in a production model
the peak output of this unit is 170
horsepower or 127 kilowatts and 192
pound feet or 260 newton meters of
torque
it is mated to an automatic transmission
though we don't know whether it sends
power to the front or to all four wheels
the claimed maximum speed is 112 miles
per hour or 180 kilometers per hour
the shortened sport version ford equator
sport will be produced by the same jmc
ford joint venture that makes full-size
equators but for now they will only be
sold in china although some chinese
fords are already supplying for example
to south america
the start is scheduled for the first
quarter of 2022
