Ford Equator

The Ford Equator is a mid-size crossover SUV built by the JMC-Ford joint venture.

Overview
The Equator is a three-row SUV that slots directly above the Everest in the JMC-Ford SUV line-up.

The instrumental panel of the Equator is equipped with a pair of 12.3-inch screens used for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. The interior of the Equator also feature wooden accents and a rotary gear selector. The infotainment system includes Ford's Co-Pilot360 system and is sold only as a six-seater.

The Equator is powered by a transverse-mounted 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine based on the JX4G20 petrol engine developed by JMC and AVL which produces 221 hp. Production of the car is planned to start around the first quarter of 2021.

Equator Sport/Territory
A shorter two-row version of the Equator was revealed at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November 2021 as the Equator Sport. It is 140 mm shorter than the three-row Equator, and is powered by an all new 1.5 EcoBoost 4G15F6C engine rated at 125 kW (168 hp) paired to a seven-speed Magna wet dual-clutch transmission. Despite being mechanically unrelated, the Equator Sport has a very similar interior and exterior styling to the Equator. The model is exported to markets outside China as the Ford Territory.
