Is Changan Ford a Domestic Car?
2 Answers
Changan Ford is not a domestic car. Ford is one of the many brands under the American Ford Motor Company. The company and brand name originate from the surname of its founder, Henry Ford, and it owns the Ford and Lincoln automotive brands. The Edge is a compact SUV under Changan Ford, with dimensions of 4585 mm in length, 1882 mm in width, and 1688 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2710 mm. In terms of power, the Edge is equipped with a turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 248, a maximum torque of 393 Nm, and a maximum power output of 182 kW.
Changan Ford's vehicles can be considered domestically produced. It is a joint venture brand between Changan Automobile Group and Ford Motor Company, with local manufacturing plants established in China, such as large production bases in Chongqing and Hangzhou. As an average car owner, I’ve driven a Ford Escort and found it quite satisfactory. Being domestically produced, parts are affordable and easy to find, and 4S shop services are convenient. The joint venture combines Ford’s international technology with China’s localization advantages, reducing costs while maintaining decent quality. When choosing a car, its affordable price makes it suitable for daily commutes or family use, unlike imported cars that can be troublesome to repair. Although the design may incorporate overseas elements, production is domestic, making it a cost-effective option worth considering.
