3 Answers
escort is known as the Ford Escort in Chinese, and it is a compact family sedan under Changan Ford, developed by Ford's British engineers in 1964. Its detailed specifications are as follows: 1. The Ford Escort has a body length, width, and height of 4587mm, 1825mm, and 1490mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2687mm. 2. The Ford Escort is positioned lower than the Focus, lacking many benchmark technological features but offering more spacious interior and a more affordable price.
I previously drove a Changan Ford Escort and found it to be a particularly suitable compact sedan for beginners. The exterior design isn't flashy but is quite pleasing to the eye, with a front fascia somewhat resembling the Focus family styling and modern-looking headlight clusters. It's easy and smooth to drive, with the 1.5L engine delivering gentle power output, making city commuting effortless and parking quite flexible. Fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging around 7L per 100km, which saves money in the long run. The downside is the slightly cramped rear seating space, but it's sufficient for solo commuting or small couples' outings. My friend bought it right after learning to drive and found its handling easy to master without any burden. I recommend it to new car owners on a budget—it's a practical starter car, and regular maintenance at the 4S dealership isn't expensive.
I've been driving the Escort for several years. This car is essentially an entry-level compact sedan resulting from the collaboration between Changan and Ford. It had a good reputation overseas in its early days, and now the Chinese version emphasizes economic practicality. The 1.0T turbocharged engine is smooth and durable, paired with a 6AT transmission, making it comfortable and reliable for daily driving conditions. Maintenance costs are not high, and parts are easy to find, saving money. Practical aspects like the trunk space are just right for suitcases, but the noise is slightly loud at high speeds. As an experienced driver, I value reliability. The Escort's chassis tuning is steady, with good anti-bump performance on rough roads. The basic safety configurations are sufficient, including ABS and ESP. I recommend it to commuters who need reliable transportation.
