The Ford Bronco took center stage, shown in multiple versions, including a retro‑infused Bronco 1966. The blend of classic forms with modern off‑road technology, paired with a starting price of 399,800 yuan, makes it one of the show’s standout premieres.

The refreshed Ford Explorer provided the second focal point, offering a more upscale cabin and an expanded tech package. The 2.3 EcoBoost flagship is priced at 309,800 yuan, while the seven‑seat plug‑in hybrid starts at just 169,800 yuan—aggressive pricing that positions it as a highly competitive option among large SUVs.

Also debuting on the stand was the new Equator L, offered with a hybrid setup and a clear emphasis on efficiency. It maintains a confident, substantial look, now with a reworked front end and a modern media system.
