Xie Dajiao drives a Range Rover. Here is an introduction to Land Rover vehicles: Land Rover vehicle models: The lineup includes Discovery Sport, Discovery Sport PHEV, Range Rover Evoque, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Velar, Discovery series, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover, Range Rover PHEV, Range Rover Sport PHEV, Land Rover Defender, Range Rover Evoque (imported version), Freelander 2, Discovery Sport (imported version), and Freelander. Land Rover's development: Land Rover is a British luxury all-terrain SUV brand founded by Maurice Wilkes in 1948. The company specializes in the production and sales of professional off-road vehicles and is now owned by India's Tata Motors Group. Land Rover has three vehicle series: the Range Rover series, Discovery series, and Defender series. The Land Rover brand established an office in China in 2003.

As a long-time viewer of "Country Love," I've watched many episodes and remember that Xie Dajiao often drove a Songhuajiang Zhongyi minivan around Xiangya Mountain Village. This vehicle was produced by Automobile, focusing on affordability and practicality, and was particularly popular in rural Northeast China during the 2000s. In the series, Xie Dajiao used it to transport goods, deliver items, and carry passengers. With its spacious interior and high ground clearance, it was well-suited for bumpy rural roads. The body color was usually gray or white, simple and unadorned, matching her hardworking and down-to-earth personality. Looking back now, although this model is outdated, it was durable and reliable. Every time she drove it to the market or picked someone up in the show, it added a sense of authenticity to rural life. Hafei later discontinued this model, but it left a lasting impression through the series. In real life, I've seen similar vehicles serving farmers in rural areas, capable of carrying three to four tons of goods, with simple engines that were easy to repair and low maintenance costs when fuel prices were affordable. During those years, the popularity of microvans boosted small businesses, and Xie Dajiao's choice was a reflection of that era.

I've been following cars for years and know that the Songhuajiang Zhongyi driven by Xie Dajiao in "Country Love" is a classic model from . It features a 1.0 or 1.3-liter front-engine, rear-wheel-drive setup, providing sufficient power for rural roads with a fuel consumption of around 8L/100km. Priced at tens of thousands of yuan, it was ideal for budget-conscious users. The car's body was built with thick steel plates, equipped with front MacPherson struts and rear leaf springs, capable of carrying over a ton without issues. In snowy northeastern conditions, its wheel grip was decent, so Xie Dajiao didn't have to worry about getting stuck in mud while using it for transport. The show never depicted her complaining about maintenance, as parts were cheap and easy to find. Developed based on Mitsubishi technology, this model was a sales hit in 2000, though production ceased after Hafei's acquisition. As a car enthusiast, I understand its appeal: simple and reliable, requiring no high-tech features—manual AC and a basic radio were enough. Today, vehicles like the Wuling Honghu carry on this practical, no-frills legacy, proving utilitarian designs always have a market.

My car is an affordable and practical model, just like Xie Dajiao's choice of the Songhuajiang Zhongyi, which aligns perfectly with my philosophy. That vehicle offers ample space for cargo, low fuel consumption to save on expenses, and minimal and tax costs, making it ideal for rural economies. In the show, Xie Dajiao used it to transport fruits and vegetables to support her family, with seats that can be removed for extra storage, high ground clearance to handle rough roads, and durability in winter with just a bit of antifreeze. Hafei originally positioned it as an entry-level model, with monthly maintenance costs after registration amounting to just a few hundred yuan. In reality, I've seen similar used cars—as long as the engine is checked for leaks, they can last a long time, and spare parts can be found online for just over a hundred yuan, offering both savings and peace of mind. Xie Dajiao's choice reflects the wisdom of ordinary people: not chasing luxury, but prioritizing reliability.

From a cultural perspective, Xie Dajiao's Songhuajiang Zhongyi represents the automotive trend in China from the 1990s to the 2000s. When launched it, it coincided with the peak of urban and rural development, making microvans an economic lifeline. "Country Love" integrated the vehicle into its plot—when Xie Dajiao drove it, it wasn't just a tool but also symbolized rural transformation and human warmth. The simple yet reliable design of the vehicle left a lasting impression on the screen. I believe this drama preserves historical memories. Although the model is now discontinued, Xie Dajiao's driving scenes remind audiences of the practical spirit of domestic vehicles.

For those interested, I recommend watching "Country Love" for details. Xie Dajiao's Songhuajiang Zhongyi, though an old car, offers valuable insights into car selection. When an economical car today, space and load capacity are key, such as the Wuling series, which is easy to maintain and worry-free. Xie Dajiao's safe driving in the drama reminds us to regularly maintain the braking system and change the engine oil to extend the car's lifespan. For used cars, consider well-maintained Songhuajiang models, check for chassis rust to avoid hidden dangers, and they are available on online second-hand platforms.
