I'm quite familiar with automotive technology and have been following the Territory since its launch. The Territory's engine indeed utilizes Ford technology, primarily reflected in its adoption of Ford's EcoBoost engine platform. For instance, the 1.5T turbocharged engine is a signature Ford design, featuring direct fuel injection and an advanced combustion system. During the joint manufacturing process between Jiangling and Ford, localized tuning was applied, but the core technology remains part of Ford's globally shared platform. The power delivery is smooth, and fuel efficiency is impressive—I drove a friend's car on a long trip, achieving just over 5 liters per 100 km on the highway with excellent noise control, unlike the harshness typical of budget vehicles. Engine reliability is commendable, with few reported issues over long-term use. Owners are advised to perform regular maintenance to prevent carbon buildup and maintain performance. Ford's technological heritage makes the Territory a high-value SUV choice, ideal for family daily commuting.
