However, in the domestic four-cylinder engine vertical and horizontal environment, the three-cylinder engine is not enough. Fox finally compromised to the market, it is understood that the four-cylinder version of Fox will be domestically produced in the first quarter of next year, after three years of Fox, trying to use a three-cylinder engine to continue the glory of Fox or lost.

As the "originator" of domestic three-cylinder models, Fox's three-cylinder machine also has many highlights, such as its three-cylinder machine with the mid-direct injection + divergence double injection system and closed cylinder technology, which many three-cylinder models have not owned. In short, the biggest highlight of the three-cylinder machine is that it can meet the fuel injection needs of the vehicle in different situations to achieve the purpose of saving fuel consumption. In addition, in order to solve the instability of the three-cylinder engine, Fox added suspension shock absorption technology inward to maintain the stability and smoothness of the engine. It can be seen that Fox's three-cylinder engine also seems to be feasible.

Perhaps, some car owners will think that Fox will replace the engine with the Changan engine that has always been cooperative with them, but the previous Changan UNI-T "propaganda door" incident greatly exaggerated the blue whale NE1.5T high-pressure direct-impact engine. According to Ford's current "C519-2022CY-PT-ICA passenger car project" forecast, the possibility of replacing its own four-cylinder 1.6T engine in the future is more than Changan Blue Whale 1.5T.
For domestic consumers, no matter how the three-cylinder engine technology is, it is difficult to compare with the four-cylinder machine, and there is a precedent for yinglang to return to the mainstream of sales of four cylinders, which once sold up to 40,000 per month, and fox, which was the sales king at that time, regrouped and started again may be expected to create brilliant again, at present, Fox sales are only a few thousand per month, and it is not just the reason for the three-cylinder machine. The previous old six-speed dual-clutch Ford has the problem of high fuel consumption, coupled with the "broken foot tiger", "stinky" and other model problems, Changan Ford's reputation is not as good as before. Therefore, if Ford wants to return to the mainstream in China, it needs to grasp the preferences of domestic consumers and control product quality. It is recommended that the fox will sell the three-cylinder and four-cylinder simultaneously in the later period, because the current three-cylinder Ford is still relatively good in terms of the owner's reputation.

Although the current three-cylinder version and the four-cylinder version have their own advantages, in the domestic environment, the four-cylinder version is more popular with the Chinese people. In terms of driving experience, the four-cylinder is indeed superior to the three-cylinder. In overseas markets, The Three-Cylinder version of Fox is a hot-selling model, and there are differences in preferences due to different national conditions. Fox's move, although it reflects the importance attached to the domestic market, also reflects the great disapproval of the people for the three cylinders. Although the four-cylinder is a model in line with China's national conditions, the people cannot ignore the advantages of the three-cylinder, and should not be easily affected by external factors, and comprehensively recognize and judge the vehicle.
