What is the Platinum car?
2 Answers
Platinum is the Ford Explorer, a mid-to-large-sized 5-door 7-seater SUV. Its body dimensions are: length 5064mm, width 2005mm, height 1798mm, with a wheelbase of 2860mm and a fuel tank capacity of 70.4 liters. The Ford Explorer is equipped with a 3.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 262 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 501 Newton-meters. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain is front-engine four-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.
Speaking of Platinum vehicles, it's actually not a specific car model, but rather a premium trim level name from Ford Motor Company, seen on models like the Ford F-150 Platinum, Expedition Platinum, or Explorer Platinum. As a family car owner, I chose the F-150 Platinum for its ultra-luxury features—heated and massaging genuine leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a premium sound system, making family trips incredibly comfortable. However, the price is quite steep, starting at over 600,000 yuan, and it has high fuel consumption and can be tricky to park. If you're on a budget, the XLT trim might be a more economical choice. In short, Platinum represents the top-tier configuration, not a new car brand, but Ford's upgraded version designed for those pursuing a comfortable lifestyle.
