Fox was once the Dream Car of many people when they were young, that is the third generation of the car series, but also the second generation of domestic production, the shape of the sport + a solid chassis, with the handwave that also showed the driving skills of the year, a must! However, it is all memory killing, whether it is the current road surface, or the cognition of a new generation of young people, Fox rarely appears. And the change revealed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is the opportunity for Fox to find Ye Qinghui? After all, the 4-cylinder machine is back.
The second and third generation of Fox are selling very well, which is related to his sports positioning, but it is not perfect, compared to Japanese cars, there are still more small problems, and the oil leakage problem of European cars is also genetic, but it does not affect sales at all. The sales collapse of the fourth generation came more from the application of the three-cylinder engine, and at the same time, surrounded by the heavy soldiers of the keyboard body, the engine full of black technology was scolded unnatural.
The strength of that three-cylinder engine is really not good, and even uses the top technology, but it violates the sensitive word - three-cylinder. To tell the truth, 1.0T is a little meat, but the 1.5T power of the three cylinders is still very good, and all are equipped with 8AT transmissions, the power system is sincere, the chassis is still solid, the whole car is easy to drive, flexible, there is an outbreak, and the spit is probably just that Ford's Martin face.
The pit of three cylinders must also be filled by four cylinders
The new Fox has been found in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's nomination list, the appearance has changed, but also two, three-compartment at the same time, but it is worth noting is the CAF479 series of engines, which is indeed a four-cylinder machine, the same series of engines used in Mondeo or Wing Tiger, but the difference in suffix and output of different versions.
Different versions also mean that the engine upgrade, whether it is The Wing Tiger or the Mondeo, the launch time is relatively close, the Q4 version (Mondeo) and the Q5 version (The Wing Tiger), the engine failure is mainly concentrated in jitter and abnormal sound, and the Q6 version of Fox, CAF479Q6 hopes to optimize these typical problems, perhaps this is the basis for it to get back on its feet.
When the Civic 240Turbo 1.5T 134kw with CVT transmission is already the pleasure of the world of seconds, then the output is slightly lower (new Focus 130kw) with 6AT transmission, is it worth the surprise? At least from a cost point of view, Fox did not stingy and tried to backfill the impact of the three cylinders with a 4-cylinder machine.
A common traffic password
In the three-cylinder machine, there is also a general. At that time, Yinglang relied on the good operation brought by the Watt connecting rod, the bright color with the trend of the shape is also popular, just three cylinders out, sales undoubtedly fell to the freezing point, but restarted the 4-cylinder machine, coupled with the terminal offer, Yinglang briefly crossed Xuanyi last year and became the sales champion of the car.
Looking back at 2021, Yinglang sold more than 260,000 vehicles throughout the year, an average of more than 20,000 per month, and this traffic password is estimated that Fox is also in the eyes. In fact, at present, Changan Ford's main model is more preferential, Mondeo also has a range of about 40,000, and the new Focus is going to make a comeback, which does not seem so difficult.
From the appearance point of view, the domestic new Fox is very close to the overseas mid-term modification, replaced the headlights and grille, but the domestic version of the front bracket is somewhat different from the overseas version; and on the basis of the ordinary version, the ST Line version and the S EDITION are also introduced, with more black small tails, pulling flowers and sports wheels; as for the interior, there is not much revealed at present, it is estimated that it will follow the overseas version of the medium-sized model, equipped with a 13.2-inch central control screen and a larger LCD dashboard. The car should not follow the overseas version of the Sync 4 system, but use the Sync+ developed for the domestic market.
In the Japanese car price is so strong in the days, the European car has a lot of preferential treatment, in the absence of three cylinders of "hard injury", the new Focus may be a good choice, even if the second-hand residual value is not as good as the japanese system in the same period in the future, but have you ever thought that the price difference of tens of thousands of new cars is not exactly the difference in the residual value.
