A few days ago listed Changan Ford Terios occasion, Changan Ford’s most important models this year. The entire department 2.0T priced at 18.98-21.88 million price, even made life-long maintenance, that it is considered a very kind indeed. However, taking into account the recent downturn in the sales situation Changan Ford, do not do this, and indeed no recovers.
However, this model, there may be open to question, such as its 2.0T supercharged engine.
is curious maximum torque
In my opinion, Ford Edge occasion I am most interested in the place, it is this set of power 2.0T + 8AT combination. Its maximum horsepower engine 248, the level considered quite satisfactory. However, the maximum output torque reached a staggering 393 Nm, which can be rare in the market.
The following table is my collection of the domestic market, most brands of civilian production 2.0T engine (various performance models not included) performance parameters, you can see, this maximum Ford 2.0T engine a first torque is deserved.
However, so at the same time, I also found a doubt, its maximum torque output speed range for the 2500- 3500 rpm for, both tall and narrow, which is also rare in the same displacement supercharged engines.
Contemporary supercharged engine, turbocharger on matching, as far as possible are involved in lowering the speed, the maximum torque output of the wide area. 2.0T like BMW, the minimum to maximum torque speed 1400rpm, up to 5000rpm, is the best example. Mass engine maximum power of only 220, that data is no advantage, but should speed range of maximum power and maximum torque made wide. 2.0T other engine, little less than the maximum torque output speed of 2000rpm.
mounted on the occasion of the sharp 2.0T engine, the minimum speed to the maximum output torque 2500rpm, up to but 3500rpm. Whether it is involved in the minimum speed or output speed range, both mainstream research engineThe opposite direction of hair. This can not help but doubt, sharp occasion 2.0T engine data is good-looking, but most users daily driving, speed to 2500 rpm or more rarely, so that the maximum torque output range, the lingua franca of it daily?
In fact, this is not particularly surprising.
I went to check what Ford Australia’s official website information, Escape, which is the country’s sharp occasion Similarly powertrain 2.0T + 8AT maximum power of 178kW (238 hp), maximum torque of 345 Nm, the difference than domestic engine performance. But the strange thing is that it’s 100 km fuel consumption is 8.6L, also worse than China’s 7.6L (Australian and Chinese fuel consumption test methods are reference test method in Europe).
engine research and development, in fact, is to find the optimum balance between power, fuel economy, reliability, and cost. On one hardware it has fixed engine, the power strong, fuel consumption is probably higher. In order to reduce fuel consumption, often must sacrifice dynamic. If they are to be good, so big probability have to change the hardware on the new technology.
Why more Chinese version of dynamic performance, fuel consumption performance was better? Now that Ford has this ability, why not Ford Australia simultaneous use? Does she only users in China is the most dear?
I went to Ford China official website to see a sharp occasion of the official materials, as shown above, in the power section , referred to the strong torque output speed range 320 Nm / 2000-5000rpm!
so that! This data looks normal. Ford had lowered its maximum torque over a wide range of fields, but it raised the maximum torque in the speed range of 2500-3500rpm. As a result, the publicity will be able to take advantage. Since the average user will only see the basic data of the maximum torque, the maximum torque output range is not watching.
Clearly, however, 320 Nm of this data, and competing productsComparison is completely dominant, so Ford also hid it quite deep, not to download the official PDF manual, online you can not see the parameter information. Although Ford adjust the data so, it is not fraud, but can not help but have a sense of opportunism.
China special for the reliability of research and development can be guaranteed?
To some extent, this sharp occasion 2.0T engine can be considered special for the Chinese. But it also leads to another problem, so China’s unique tuning version, can ensure that it is reliable enough? Because from the existing data, the reliability of the Ford engine, it seems not so reliable.
I inquired about the car endoplasmic reticulum user complaints, complaints related to the engine has 319, many of them are oil spills, there is still damaged cylinder.
then I countered, “Brand + engine oil leak” information retrieval, searching to retrieve the amount , the amount of information Ford to 30.1 million, becoming the first well-deserved, beyond other brands about 5 times. This “achievement”, or Ford Motor China’s total holdings, much lower than achieved under, Honda, Volkswagen, Toyota, Buick’s case.
If compared to Ford 2.0T engine made in China, with core components abroad paragraph engine has not changed, just by increasing the compression ratio, increase the boost pressure to achieve high performance, then how about its reliability, it becomes a big question. If one or two people say something wrong, it can also be used to stall the “black.” If large data also reflects a problem that only two possibilities: Baidu and Ford have holidays, or is Ford’s engine problem. The former possibility is very small, because Baidu also earn advertising money. So …
If an existing engine reliability has not protected, then the blind raised to improve engine performance, reliability, performance Would not it be worse?
In summary, the use of strong inter sharp Ford 2.0T engine performance for the China Patent, the data is very attractive,But civilian car, mass production point of view, the ink brother can not help but worry about its reliability, after all, Ford’s existing engine, already feeling less reliable. Hope in the near future, Ford Edge occasion of users, not because of a variety of engine problems to worry about.
