福特在芝加哥车展发布了2018款征服者，该车不仅车身更大，而且配置更齐全，动力也获得提升。虽然配置全面升级，但由于采用了铝制车身和更轻车架，重量还降低了300磅（约合136公斤）。征服者采用了改款车头，包括与探险者白金版顶级款相同的新的网格格栅，支架形前大灯则来自福特皮卡，丰富的镀铬装饰让车鼻更闪亮。该车动力系统只有3.5升V6 EcoBoost双涡轮一种引擎，该引擎还搭配停启和十速自动变速器。虽然福特没有公布其规格，但预计将比现行版的272千瓦/365马力更强劲。消费者可选择后轮和四轮驱动。车厢内空间很宽敞，可搭乘八名乘客，它的车身长度增加了10.2厘米，其中轴距增加了7.6厘米。如果消费者还需要更大空间，可以选择车身长度增加2.54厘米的Max版本。新车的储物容积也增加了一倍，车厢内的杯架数量达到17个。2018款征服者将于秋季上市，届时，福特将提供包括售价、功率和拖曳能力等重要数据。

 

2018 Ford Expedition is bigger, stronger, lighter

The 2018 Ford Expedition arrives at the Chicago Auto Show with a bigger footprint, lots more amenities, and additional power. Plus, the Blue Oval incorporates all of these updates while slicing 300 pounds off the new model thanks to an aluminum body and lighter frame.

 

The Expedition features a revised front end with a new mesh grille that evokes the top-spec Explorer in Platinum trim. The bracket-shaped headlights a take cue from the company’s pickups, too. Ample chrome also makes the nose shine.

 

The 2018 Expedition is only available with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost biturbo V6 with stop-start and a 10-speed automatic. Ford won’t release specs yet, but the powertrain will allegedly make more power than the current 365 horsepower (272 kilowatts). Buyers can pick between rear- and four-wheel drive.

 

There should be plenty of room for as many as eight passengers inside because the standard Expedition is now four inches (10.2 centimeters) longer, including three inches (7.6 cm) more wheelbase. If buyers need even more space, the Expedition Max is another inch (2.54 cm) longer overall. Ford reportedly doubled the model’s cabin storage space, and seventeen cupholders mean that everyone should remain well hydrated.

 

The 2018 Expedition will go on sale in the fall. Ford will reveal important specs like the price, horsepower, and tow rating closer to them arriving in dealers.
