How is the 2014 Jiangling Yusheng 2.4 Diesel Version?
2 Answers
Jiangling Yusheng is equipped with a 2.4T diesel engine. The manual transmission model has lower power tuning compared to the automatic version, with relatively low fuel consumption—around 8 liters per 100 kilometers for the manual model. It has a very low failure rate, but issues such as rear axle differential noise, half-shaft oil seal leaks, and body rust have been reported. Below are specific details about the Jiangling Yusheng: 1. Body Dimensions: Yusheng is a Chinese passenger car brand developed by Jiangling Motors Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Ford and Jiangling. Its products are among the few strictly defined joint-venture independent models in the Chinese automotive market. The Yusheng brand focuses on the crossover segment of SUVs and MPVs, committed to delivering high-quality and dynamic crossover vehicles for various consumer groups. The Yusheng brand will play a key role in Jiangling Motors' expansion into the passenger vehicle market. 2. Origin: The Jiangling Yusheng is the first SUV model under Jiangling Motors Co., Ltd., originating from the N350 project launched in 2006. It was completed in the second half of 2010. The powertrain is derived from Ford's next-generation TDCI engine. With the support of Ford's century-long automotive expertise, a new production platform, a global parts procurement system, and an advanced quality control system, Yusheng is ensured of high-quality standards.
I've been driving the 2014 Jiangling Yusheng 2.4 diesel version for over three years now, and I find it quite suitable for daily life. The car has ample power, with the diesel engine performing excellently when climbing hills or hauling heavy loads. It's fuel-efficient, averaging 7-8 liters per 100km in the city and even lower on long trips. The space is spacious enough, and folding down the rear seats allows for large luggage, making family outings very convenient. The downside is the noise level, which is a bit loud, especially during cold starts, but you get used to it over time. The seat comfort is average, and long drives can cause backaches, so I recommend adding a cushion. Overall, if you're on a budget and frequently drive on mountainous roads, this car is a practical choice. It holds its value decently in the used car market, but remember to regularly check the turbocharger and fuel injectors to avoid issues.
