Ford revealed the new Ford Ranger pick-up that will deliver more power, greater fuel-efficiency, enhanced refinement and advanced driver assistance technologies for customers across Europe from mid-2019.
The stylish and versatile new version of Europe’s best-selling pick-up introduces Ford’s sophisticated 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for optimised emissions, delivering up to a 9 per cent fuel-efficiency improvement when combined with an advanced new 10-speed automatic transmission.
The new Ranger engine line-up will be led by the powerful Bi-turbo version of the 2.0-litre EcoBlue engine, delivering 213 PS and 500 Nm of torque - up by 13 PS and 30 Nm compared with the current 3.2-litre TDCi diesel - for greater load-hauling capability.
Available in Regular Cab, Super Cab, and Double Cab body styles, the new Ranger features four-wheel drive as standard, and offers business and leisure users new tools to boost convenience and productivity, including Ford’s SYNC 3 connectivity and FordPass Connect on-board modem technology.
Ranger is the first vehicle in its class to offer Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Intelligent Speed Limiter as standard. Active Park Assist is now also available, in addition to the existing range of advanced driving technologies designed to make driving less stressful and to help avoid or mitigate the effects of collisions.
Double Cab, high-power new Ranger variants now feature Active Noise Control technology for improved refinement. Flagship Ranger Wildtrak models and luxurious Ranger Limited both also offer new premium features, including an easy-lift tailgate.
Delivering class-leading ability to wade through water up to 800 mm deep, and with 230 mm of ground clearance, new Ranger is designed and engineered to comfortably handle extreme terrains whether for work or lifestyle pursuit. A 29-degree approach angle and 21-degree departure angle enable drivers to feel confident when taking on steep obstacles. Off-road strengths are matched by towing capability of up to 3,500 kg and payload capacity of up to 1,252 kg.
Ford recorded class-leading Ranger sales of 51,500 units in Europe in 2018, an increase of more than 15 per cent compared with 2017. The Ford Performance-developed new Ranger Raptor - the toughest and most high-performing Ranger ever - also goes on sale to thrill-seeking customers across Europe in mid-2019.
2.0-litre EcoBlue power and refinement
Ranger’s powerful new 2.0-litre EcoBlue engine - delivering optimised performance alongside improved fuel-efficiency - is offered with:
▪ Single variable-geometry turbocharger delivering 130 PS; 340 Nm of torque; and from 209 g/km CO2 emissions and 8.0 l/100 km fuel-efficiency
▪ Single variable-geometry turbocharger delivering 170 PS; 420 Nm of torque; and from 216 g/km CO2 emissions and 8.3 l/100 km fuel-efficiency
▪ Bi-turbo technology with variable-geometry high-pressure and fixed-geometry low-pressure turbocharger delivering 213 PS; 500 Nm of torque; and from 228 g/km CO2 emissions and 9.2 l/100 km fuel-efficiency
The compact single turbocharger has been specifically designed to deliver more air at lower engine rpm compared with the outgoing 2.2-litre TDCi engine, for a light and urgent feel across the rev-range.
In the range-topping Bi-turbo variant, the two turbochargers work in series at lower engine speeds for enhanced torque and responsiveness. At higher engine speeds, the smaller turbo is bypassed and the larger turbo provides boost to deliver high power.
In addition to a slick-shifting six-speed manual gearbox, the 170 PS and 213 PS powertrains offer Ford’s class-leading 10-speed automatic transmission, with performance and durability proven in applications as diverse as the Ford F-150 pick-up and the new Ford Mustang. A wider spread of ratios ¬and features including real-time adaptive shift-scheduling that allows the transmission to adapt to changing conditions - enable the optimal gear to be selected for performance, fuel-efficiency or refinement in any driving scenario.
Enhanced refinement is supported using piezoelectric technology that uses electrically responsive crystals to closely control fuel delivery - typically found in premium passenger-car engines - incorporated into the body of the engine’s injector units.
