Recently, I've been using the Ford Territory to shuttle my family around. It's a quite practical SUV, confirmed to be a joint-venture vehicle, jointly produced by Ford and Jiangling Motors, thus combining the advantages of foreign technology and local manufacturing. The steering feels good to drive, fuel consumption is moderate, and maintenance isn't expensive. The benefit of joint-venture cars is their affordable pricing—for example, the Territory is nearly 30% cheaper than imported Fords. The interior is spacious, suitable for long trips with a family of five. For maintenance, you can go directly to the 4S store, where parts are supplied quickly, and localization is well executed. I've used it for over a year without encountering major faults; the handling is stable and reliable. If you prioritize family use and cost-effectiveness, the Territory, as a joint-venture product, is worth considering. It has a clear positioning in the Chinese market, combining brand credibility with practicality.
