As a U.S. brand, Ford does not seem to have had a good time in China in the past two years, after all, in the context of today's era of advocating low carbon, Ford's engine technology, which Waswolf was proud of in the past, has now imprisoned Ford like a shackle, resulting in its obvious lack of competitiveness in today's market.
In the face of this situation, Ford also began to remedy the situation, launched a new upgrade of Mondeo, although the Mondeo is still a fuel vehicle, but its intelligent performance is enough to compete with the same level of new energy models.
After seeing that the new Mondeo has a good market performance, Ford began to upgrade its own steel gun player Fox.
Just recently, a set of declaration charts of the new Ford Focus circulated on the Internet, and there is news that the new Focus will be equipped with a new four-cylinder engine, in addition to which the new car will also provide hatchback and sedan versions for consumers to choose.
From the picture, the newly upgraded Ford Focus is very different from the current model, compared to the current model, the new car uses a larger polygonal grille in the front face part, and replaces the newly designed headlight group, the two are combined to make the new car look more fierce, and this design is more in line with the positioning of its own "steel cannon model".
Unlike other models, the new Focus's body side adopts a double waist line design, with the silky line design above, creating a swooping posture for the whole car.
In terms of body size, the hatchback version of the Fox reached 4401/1824/1470mm in length, width and height, and the sedan version was 4664/1824/1467mm, with a wheelbase of 2705mm. In terms of size, the wheelbase of the new car has not been changed, and only a small upgrade has been made on the body "three circumferences".
Compared with the earth-shaking changes in the front part, the new Focus has not changed much in the rear part, and the tail light group still retains the split design of the previous generation, and does not use the popular through-line design.
Unlike the previous generation, the new car used black trim panels and metal trim strips in the rear surround, and the exhaust layout was changed to a hidden design, which also contrasted strongly with the radical style of the front part.
Since the new Focus did not publish interior pictures, we can refer to the interior of the overseas version of Fox.
Compared to the current model, the most obvious change in the interior part of the new Focus is that the size of the dashboard and the central control screen has become larger, of which the central control screen is 13.2 inches in size and the latest version of the Sync 4 infotainment system is built-in.
It is foreseeable that after the domestic Fox, the interior part will be further upgraded compared to the overseas version, adding more intelligent equipment, after all, Changan Ford still understands the consumption preferences of the Chinese.
According to the current information, the Focus series will be replaced by a four-cylinder engine, and the displacement will be changed from the original 1.5L naturally aspirated and 1.5T turbocharged engine to 1.6L naturally aspirated and 1.6T turbocharged engine, and the corresponding transmission system is 6AT and 8AT transmission.
The upgrade of the power system may make some users return to the Camp of Ford, after all, the three-cylinder engine Ford, which has been criticized in the past, has been replaced by a four-cylinder, and a larger displacement will also bring users a better driving experience.
On the whole, the changes in the new Focus are relatively comprehensive, and its appearance, space and power have been significantly improved compared to the old models, and the most important thing is that the new car has significantly upgraded in terms of vehicle performance and power system.
This is undoubtedly good news for consumers who have a certain demand for a sense of technology and at the same time have objections to the three-cylinder engine. After all, no one should reject a small American steel cannon with excellent power and strong playability.
