Is the engine of the Ford Territory developed by Ford?

[LeRuth]

The engine of the Ford Territory is not a product independently developed by Ford. Here are some details about the engine of the Ford Territory: 1. The engine model equipped in the Ford Territory is JX4G15C5L, which is a new version of the 1.5T engine used in the Yusheng S330. 2. This engine has a maximum power of 103kw, a maximum torque of 225 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 4500 to 5200 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1500 to 4000 rpm. 3. This engine is equipped with direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.

I previously looked into this issue and specifically researched it: The Ford Territory indeed bears the Ford badge, but its engine is actually the JX4G15 series from Jiangling Motors. This vehicle is the result of a deep collaboration between Ford and Jiangling, assembled at the Nanchang plant. The 1.5T turbocharged engine it uses comes with Jiangling's technology and production line, but Ford engineers participated in the tuning, and later versions even added a 48V mild hybrid system. It drives with decent power smoothness, and the fuel consumption is quite Ford-like, averaging around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. If you're after pure Ford heritage, you might feel a bit disappointed, but it's more than adequate for daily commuting, and the maintenance costs are significantly lower than those of purely imported Ford models.

A friend who works in car dismantling tested the Lingjie engine with equipment: the cylinder block casting process was done at Jiangling's self-built Xiangyang factory, but the valve train clearly carries Ford's technical characteristics. Particularly that DVVT dual variable valve timing system, its data calibration method closely resembles the Kuga's. The factory-fitted NGK spark plug gap parameters are specifically tuned for 92-octane fuel, which is completely consistent with Ford's domestic models. The most interesting part is its adapted coolant circulation pipeline layout, which retains Jiangling's engine compartment spatial structure characteristics while incorporating Ford's quick-drain antifreeze design.
