Is the Ford Territory a Joint Venture Car?
2 Answers
The Ford Territory is a joint venture car, an SUV jointly produced by Jiangling Group and Ford from the United States. It should be referred to as the Jiangling Ford Territory and is positioned as a compact SUV. Below are some related details about the Ford Territory: 1. The Ford Territory comes standard with features such as pollen filtration, 4/6 split-folding rear seats, an 8-inch LCD display, multiple USB ports for front and rear passengers, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi hotspot. Mid-to-high trim models add a multifunction steering wheel, 7-color LED ambient lighting, automatic air conditioning, rear air vents, heated front seats, a 10.1-inch full-touch HD display, voice GPS navigation, and wireless phone charging. The two top-tier models further include a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel, front seat ventilation, and active parking assistance. 2. The standard FordPass Connect feature allows consumers to control their vehicle remotely via the FordPass app, enabling functions like unlocking or starting the car, or pre-activating the air conditioning. 'FordPass Connect' supports 4G-LTE wireless hotspot functionality, accommodating up to 7 mobile devices simultaneously.
I've been driving the Ford Territory for almost a year now. It's indeed a joint venture vehicle, co-produced by Ford and Jiangling Motors. When choosing a car, I paid attention to its background because joint venture cars usually offer great value for money, with repair shops everywhere and affordable parts. The car has spacious interiors, comfortably seating three in the back row, and is powered by a 1.5T engine with a 48V mild hybrid system, making it very fuel-efficient for city commuting. As a young car owner, I think the advantage of joint venture cars lies in their blend of international technology and local adaptability. For example, the smart connectivity system in the car is optimized for Chinese road conditions, and connecting to CarPlay for phone navigation is super convenient. The only downside is the somewhat plastic feel of the interior, but overall, the quality and resale value are pretty good, and it drives stable and safe.
