2.Technical interpretation: Automobile self-media "Engine Password" pointed out that the 1.5L Ti-VCT engine equipped with Escort adopts dual independent variable valve timing technology, which should theoretically have good fuel economy, but the gearbox adjustment is biased towards comfort, which may affect the performance in urban conditions.

Under the topic #fuel-saving tips on the Xiaohongshu platform, many Escort owners shared their practical experiences:
1.driving habits: Avoid rapid acceleration and keep the speed in the 2000-2500rpm range; using ECO mode can reduce fuel consumption by 5%-8%
2.vehicle maintenance: Regularly replace the air filter (every 10,000 kilometers), and use 5W-20 engine oil to optimize engine efficiency
3.load management: For every 50kg increase in trunk weight, urban fuel consumption increases by approximately 0.3L/100km.
4. Expert opinions and market feedback
In Zhihu's popular Q&A "Is the Forex worth buying?", certified automotive engineer @AutoTech asked:
"The fuel consumption performance of the Escort is at a medium level in its class, and its advantage lies in its stability during high-speed cruising. For users commuting in major cities, it is recommended to give priority to hybrid models; if you often run on high speeds, the Escort is still a good choice."

| Satisfaction | Proportion | Main comments |
|---|---|---|
| Very satisfied | 42% | High speed, fuel saving, sufficient power |
