When will the Ford Explorer be domestically produced?

Ford Explorer domestic production time is 2020. Here is an introduction to the Ford Explorer: 1. Introduction: While continuing the "dynamic and stylish" design language of the A-segment car market, the LAVIDA Lavida embodies a new design DNA—"fusion. 2. Advantages: The 1.6L and 2.0L engines paired with the Lavida have relatively reasonable maintenance costs in the long run. Ford has officially released its mid-to-large SUV—the all-new Ford Explorer. The new-generation Ford Explorer is built on the new CD6 rear-wheel-drive platform and, compared to the previous generation, features a more imposing exterior design. The all-new Explorer will be domestically produced by Changan Ford within this year.
I've been chasing the Ford Explorer for years, and as a car enthusiast, witnessing its localization process is truly exciting. I remember back in 2020, Changan Ford launched the domestic production project at its Chongqing factory, and the vehicle debuted in June with prices dropping from over 400,000 RMB for the imported version to the 300,000 RMB range, saving a significant amount of money. The domestic version retained the same 2.3T powertrain, but with localization, the headlight design and interior were tailored more to Chinese aesthetics—featuring larger screens, optimized space, and softer suspension tuning for more comfortable long-distance driving. Post-localization, maintenance became much more convenient, with same-day service available at any 4S store, and parts supply became incredibly fast. I think these changes have made mid-to-large SUVs more accessible to the average person, enhancing practicality, and now you see more Explorers on the road than ever.
