The new Ford Ranger has just entered the Chinese market and will be available for less than 160,000 yuan or $21,950.
Ford Ranger models sold in China will not be imported from overseas and instead, will be manufactured locally by Ford’s truck joint venture partner Jiangling Motors Group Go. A range of Ford Raptor models were recently showcased at the Chengdu Auto Show.
The first version offered is dubbed the Ranger 1st Edition and is to be capped at just 800 units in China. It’s priced from 269,800 yuan ($37,174). The company has not confirmed what unique elements distinguish the Ranger 1st Edition from other variants but has said that pre-orders are already being accepted.
Local buyers interested in picking up the keys to a locally-built Ranger will be offered a 2.3-liter EcoBoost petrol engine or should they prefer, a turbocharged 2.3-liter diesel engine.
