Tencent's TAI 3.0 IVI system, high-accuracy AR real-world navigation, FordPass and over-the-air software update capability are part of Equator Sport's intelligent suite to bring always-on experience to customers.

Equator Sport joins Ford Territory, Equator, Everest and Tourneo in JMC Ford Technology's passenger vehicle lineup that is offered via the Ford Family Space sales channel, a network of 181 showrooms in major Chinese metropolitan markets.
