Speaking of Fox, its popularity in the market is definitely not bad, and in previous years, Fox has been the champion of the compact sedan market for several consecutive months, no less classic than Corolla. However, it is regrettable that with the decline of Changan Ford in the market, and The Focus is equipped with a three-cylinder engine, which makes the sales of Fox in the market encounter a bottleneck, according to the sales data of the relevant platforms, the sales volume of Fox in December last year was 2504 vehicles, the sales volume in November was 2394 vehicles, and the sales volume in October was 2550 vehicles.
As can be seen, Fox sales are hovering around more than 2,000 units every month. Such achievements are far from the time when they were brilliant. Recently, the new Focus has been exposed, and one of the biggest highlights of the new car is to be equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, then, in this case, as a former generation of god cars, sales are now dismal, and can those who lose can still win back?
First of all, in terms of appearance, the new Focus has made a lot of improvements compared to the current model. This makes the design of the exterior design and the overseas version of the model have a relatively similar design. Among them, in the front grille, headlights, it can be seen that there is both family recognition and a young and fashionable side. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the new Focus in China has also undergone a localization transformation in the style of the front encirclement. Overall, I think the design of the new Focus is pretty good, and in the 150,000-class sports compact sedan market, the new Focus is definitely a mid-to-upper level.
Above the interior, no specific photos have been exposed. However, according to the overseas version, as well as the current interior design layout of Changan Ford models, we can boldly calculate that the new Focus will also use a large-size LCD dashboard and a large central control screen In addition, the interior materials and configurations are absolutely very good. Configurations such as the Internet of Intelligent Vehicles and the Intelligent Driver Assistance System are also expected to be installed.

In terms of power, ford is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, using the code name CAF479WQ6, which is not unfamiliar with the model. It is carried on both ford's Mondeo and Wing Tiger. Moreover, according to the information in the declaration chart, it can be seen that its maximum horsepower is about 177 horsepower. In terms of gearboxes, it is expected that the 8AT version of the current model will be used.
Summary: From the perspective of product strength, the most interesting thing about the new Focus is the power load and design. Although, the product strength is generally better than the current model. However, as far as the current market is concerned, especially the 150,000-class sedan market, it is not easy for the new Focus to turn over in sales in the market. On the one hand, there are really more and more competitors at this level, and all of them are powerful. On the other hand, Changan Ford is no longer a first-line brand in the joint venture brand, and it does not occupy an advantage compared with the influence of Honda, Toyota, and Volkswagen
