A new seven-seat SUV has just been launched in China in the form of the 2021 Ford Equator.
Photos and details about the vehicle are thin on the ground at the moment, but we know that the SUV comes from the Jiangling-Ford joint venture. Elsewhere, it is reported the Equator is 4,905 mm (193 inches) long with a width of 1,930 mm (76 inches), a height of 1,755 mm (69 inches) and a 2,865 mm (113 inches) wheelbase.
As for power, the Ford Equator will be sold exclusively with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder petrol engine delivering 221 hp. Buyers will reportedly be offered the choice of five-speed automatic and five-speed manual transmissions, as well as the option of rear- and all-wheel drive configurations.

Car News China reports that the Equator is aimed at the likes of the Jeep Grand Commander and the Toyota Highlander.
From a styling standpoint, the seven-seat SUV has a unique front end with a set of tiny headlights that appear to feature incorporated LED daytime running lights. The Equator also features secondary driving lights just above the front air intakes, as well as a front skid plate.
The rear of the new Ford has LED taillights with a light bar connecting them. There is also a large Equator badge and what appears to be a split tailgate, twin tailpipes and a subtle faux diffuser. We don’t yet have any interior shots of the Equator, nor any pricing details.
