Fox itself is also a very representative model launched by the current Focus, but with the replacement of the model with a three-cylinder engine, so the sales volume began to decline gradually, and even fell to the altar, until now it will be in a downturn. The reason why Fox sold well at that time may be because of the characteristics of the brand, but also because the quality of driving is better, it will have enough dosage, and today's brand strength is not as good as before.
However, a Focus that focuses on sports will still have a good driving feeling, otherwise the official will not be able to launch a Fox ST model and RS model. Ford brought you a Fox ST some time ago, but this model will not enter the domestic market, only sold in overseas markets. There is also news that the Fox RS will be discontinued from now on.
From the shape of this car, it can be found that this car is built on the ordinary version of the Fox ST, so the overall shape has not changed significantly. In order to effectively highlight the difference between the model and the ordinary version, a unique blue paint will be added, and the rearview mirror shell, bumper, grille, diffuser and other parts of the vehicle will all be bright black coating, so that the whole car will have the style of RS.
In addition, the new car will also have some adjustments in the configuration, such as the deliberate choice of lightweight design of the 19-inch sports rim, specially matched with Michelin tires. After entering the inner room, the model will also maintain the same shape as the ordinary version of Fox, deliberately put on a suspension central control screen that is not very large in size, and a full LCD instrument, the details are consistent with the ordinary version of ST, only to give some blue distinctions on some lines.
In terms of power and the conventional Fox ST, there is not much difference, deliberately equipped with a 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo engine, which can reach 206kw, torque can reach 420 Nm, and zero hundred kilometer acceleration can reach 5.7 seconds, but the new car has also been adjusted many times, such as reducing ground clearance, further reducing the height of the body, and the body's center of gravity, and will also fully upgrade the suspension system and replace the two-way adjustable shock absorber.
This is itself a different sports version of the model, the current main competitor is the Golf GTI, after all, RS is a high-standard model, but the current Europe will have a more stringent emission limit, so this will also lead to Ford's next generation of RS is prohibitive. But at least in the ST model can still be continued, can meet everyone's pursuit of performance cars, including the launch of some customized versions of the model, perhaps this looks like a merger.
