Sime Darby Auto ConneXion has announced the availability of another 2020 model year Ford Ranger T6 facelift variant in the form of the Ranger XLT Plus. It’s the fourth 2020 Ranger model to be introduced this year, following the debuts of the updated Raptor, WildTrak and FX4.
The revision for the Ranger XLT Plus
facelift adds on the new headlight design as seen on the Raptor and WildTrak.
The assembly now features a square projector lens, and the lighting units have
been changed to brighter bi-LED units offering 17% greater lighting penetration
for improved night visibility. The LEDs replace the previous xenon main
beam/halogen high beam configuration.
Elsewhere, the XLT Plus gets a new
body-coloured bumper finished with a silver bumper lip, replicating the front
look of WildTrak. The variant also gets a new chrome grille that is exclusive
to it. Otherwise, everything else remains as it was. The XLT Plus is powered by
a 2.0 litre EcoBlue turbodiesel, here in its single-turbo configuration
offering 180 PS and 420 Nm. The mill continues to be paired with the
automaker’s 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission.
Standard equipment includes keyless entry
with push-start button, an Easy Lift Tailgate, a SYNC 3 infotaiment system with
an eight-inch touchscreen, six speakers and a reverse camera as well as leather
seats, dual-zone auto air-conditioning and a MyKey system. As for safety kit,
that on the XLT Plus includes two airbags, ABS, EBD, ESC, hill descent control
and hill launch assist.
Five exterior colours are available for
the Ranger XLT Plus facelift, and these are Aluminium Metallic, Arctic White,
Lightning Blue, Meteor Grey and Absolute Black. The pick-up is priced at
RM 129,888 (on-the-road, without insurance), and as is the case with the entire
Ranger line-up, comes with a three-year or 100,000 km warranty, whichever comes
first.
