Introduction: To say that the star model of the domestic hatchback, Ford Focus is definitely one of them, to be honest, in the Chinese market, hatchbacks are considered niche models, but hatchback versions of Fox, can also break out of a world in a group of sedans, the strength can be seen. However, due to some strategy problems, Fox began to go downhill from 18 years. One of the big reasons is because Fox added a three-cylinder engine, and I believe everyone has heard about it later. Recently, the new Focus appeared in the new car catalog of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which has a column of parameters that attracts attention, that is, the new 1.5T four-cylinder engine, which also means that the new Focus will return to the four-cylinder.
Let's talk about the power part first, the declaration information of the new Fox shows that the car will use an engine codenamed CAF479WQ6, which is a 1.5T four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 130kW, which is 177 horsepower. Compared to the current CAF384WQ06's 1.5T three-cylinder engine, the maximum power increase is 3 horsepower, and the most important thing is that the three-cylinder has become a four-cylinder.
The current Fox
The current Mondeo
It is worth mentioning that the current Mondeo, its 1.5T engine version, whose engine code name is CAF479WQ4, is different from Fox in the last digit, and the maximum power of 134kW is also 4kW more than Fox. It is speculated that it is the same engine, and the tuning is different.
As a mid-term modification model, the new Focus has changed in addition to the power part, and there are also certain changes in the design. Judging from the declaration chart, the new Focus adopts the latest design language of the Ford family, a bit of a new Mondion flavor, but it has its own taste, compared to the current Focus, the detail difference between the two can still be recognized at a glance. Especially in the front face part, there are obvious changes in the light group, the middle net, the front encirclement and other parts.
The new Focus still offers both sedan and hatchback body structures, but due to the mid-term redesign, the side and rear changes are not large compared to the current model.
In terms of body size, the size of the sedan version is 4664/1824/1467mm, while the hatchback version is 4404/1824/1453mm, and the wheelbase is 2705mm. In terms of body size, compared to the current model, there are certain adjustments, but it is not large, and the wheelbase is consistent.
Ah Chuan commented on the car
For the new Focus, the biggest and most important change in this car is to replace a four-cylinder engine, which is to cater to the preferences of consumers and the market, four cylinders instead of three cylinders, can also be seen as a signal of this once classic model backwater war. So whether this car can return to the mainstream vision after the replacement of the four cylinders, we may wish to boldly predict it.
