Ford Territory is a joint venture vehicle. Below is relevant information about this model: 1. The Jiangling Ford brand has always focused on the commercial vehicle market but has recently ventured into the passenger vehicle market. The Territory model helped Jiangling Ford break into the market, and the author believes the Territory will help Jiangling Ford establish a solid foothold in the market. 2. The Ford Territory is positioned as a mid-to-large SUV, with dimensions of 4905*1930*1755mm (L*W*H) and a wheelbase of 2865mm. Its size falls between the Edge and Explorer, almost comparable to joint venture compact SUVs. Another highlight of the Ford Territory is its first-class cabin-style 6-seat independent layout. In the current market, mid-to-large 6-seat SUVs are rare, with models like the Cadillac XT6 and Buick Enclave being notable examples. Thus, this segment is still in its early stages, and the Ford Territory's entry gives it a first-mover advantage.

The Ford Territory is indeed a joint venture vehicle! I drive frequently myself and purchased this SUV last year—it drives fantastically. It's a product of the collaboration between Ford and China's Changan, manufactured at the Chongqing plant. The advantage of joint ventures lies in the high localization of parts, making repairs neither expensive nor troublesome. For city commuting, its fuel consumption is well-controlled, and the spacious interior is perfect for family trips. In today's Chinese market, many foreign brands adopt the joint venture route, similar to models like Volkswagen and GM. This approach helps reduce prices and expand service network coverage. After driving it for a while, I've found that the maintenance costs of joint venture vehicles are significantly lower than those of purely imported cars, offering superb value for money. If you're considering buying a car, its practicality is worth considering.
