2 Answers
The difference between Changan Ford and Changan Automobile: Changan Automobile refers to the models produced by Changan's 3rd and 5th factories, which are domestically independently produced; while Changan Ford is a joint venture between Changan and Ford. More information about Changan Ford and Changan Automobile is as follows: 1. Changan Ford Automobile Co., Ltd. (referred to as Changan Ford), established on April 25, 2001, is a well-known Sino-foreign automotive joint venture in China, headquartered in the New North Zone of Chongqing, jointly funded by Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. and Ford Motor Company. 2. Changan Automobile is one of the four major automotive group camp enterprises in China, with Changan series Chinese brand users exceeding 17 million, leading the Chinese brand automobiles, and has launched a series of classic products such as the CS series, Eado series, and Raeton series.
When buying a car, I often ponder over these two brands. Changan Automobile is purely domestically owned, developing and producing its own vehicles, with affordable SUVs like the CS75 that are great for families. Changan Ford is a joint venture between Changan and Ford, primarily selling Ford-branded cars like the Focus, with technology from Ford offering a stronger driving feel. The difference lies in ownership: Changan Automobile operates independently, while Changan Ford is a collaboration where Ford provides technology and Changan handles manufacturing. Their market positioning also differs—Changan Automobile offers budget-friendly prices for the mass market, whereas Changan Ford targets a slightly higher-end segment appealing to users who prefer international brands. In terms of maintenance, Changan Ford parts are more expensive but reliable in quality, while Changan Automobile services are cheaper. When choosing, I consider my budget: for economy, Changan Automobile; for performance, Changan Ford.
