When is the specific domestic production time for the Ford Explorer?

On the evening of June 16, 2020, the all-new Ford Explorer 2020 model was officially launched. Here is an introduction to the new version of the Ford Explorer: 1. Exterior: The all-new Explorer offers an ST-Line version. The main differences in the front fascia compared to other versions are the blackened treatment of the grille, fog lights, and chrome trim below the bumper. 2. Interior: The interior style of the sixth-generation Explorer has undergone significant changes compared to the fifth generation. Overall, the sense of luxury remains, while the addition of a full LCD instrument panel, an oversized touchscreen, and a rotary gear shift knob enhances the technological atmosphere. 3. Space: As a mid-to-large SUV with a wheelbase significantly extended to over 3 meters, the Explorer naturally offers a very spacious interior. The front seats across all trims are upholstered in leather and support 8-way electric adjustment. In the Titanium edition and higher configurations, features such as seat ventilation, heating, and position memory are also available. 4. Powertrain: The transmission system is matched with a 10-speed automatic manual transmission, and the four-wheel-drive models use an on-demand four-wheel-drive system with a multi-plate clutch-type central differential.

I remember the exact time when the Ford Explorer started domestic production was June 2020, when it officially began manufacturing and launched at Changan Ford. As a car enthusiast myself, I closely followed the news back then because the previous imported version was too expensive. After domestic production, the price dropped significantly, and the configurations became more suitable for the local market. I felt that Changan Ford's factory in Chongqing moved quite quickly with the Explorer's production—from the announcement in early 2020 to its launch in June, the efficiency was impressive. I test-drove it around that time, and the chassis tuning was much more comfortable, with slightly expanded space, making it particularly suitable for family use. Looking back now, the localization made this car a hot seller, and many of my friends later bought it, saving a lot of money while still enjoying a premium experience.

I'm into car technology as a hobby. The Ford Explorer was truly domestically produced in China in 2020, and I remember it was officially launched in June. Previously, it relied on imports, but after domestic production, it was manufactured at the Chongqing base. Localization of parts reduced costs while ensuring more stable quality control. I've compared data and found that the domestically produced version has slight optimizations in the powertrain, more economical fuel consumption, and better adaptation to Chinese road conditions, such as minor suspension adjustments. This led to explosive market growth for the Explorer, coupled with increased post-pandemic demand. I recommend owners pay attention to after-sales services—maintenance has become much more convenient after domestic production, with easier access to parts, significantly improving overall cost-effectiveness.

In June 2020, the Ford Explorer was domestically produced and launched in China. As an ordinary parent, I paid attention to this. At that time, I happened to want to change my car. After domestic production, the price became much more affordable, with a large space and high safety rating, making it suitable for taking children around. That's when I started considering it. I remember media reports stating that Changan Ford had set up the production line to ensure the new car was launched on time, which contributed to the Explorer's sales soaring. It remains very popular to this day, mainly due to its practicality, low fuel consumption, and simple maintenance.
