The "three cylinders" destroyed everything, the appearance of the interior progress is obvious, how can The Ford Forros not open the trick?
To say that the Ford brand into the Chinese market is not too late, but also launched a lot of classic models, of which the Ford Ford Foreth as Ford's compact entry-level sedan, not only the price is lower than the Focus, the space is also larger than the Focus, it seems to be a tailor-made family car for Chinese consumers. However, the market did not embrace Ford's "product sincerity", and in January 2022, ford forees sold only 4682 units, compared with the sales of the same level of joint venture competitors in the same month, it is simply heaven and earth. So, why does Ford Ford Forres insist on using a three-cylinder engine, and is the three-cylinder machine really better than the four-cylinder machine?
In terms of appearance, the new generation of Ford Forros abandons the front face design of the "Martin" family and replaces it with a larger polygonal intake grille, and the details inside the grille are composed of multiple "scales", and the recognition is still distinct. In addition, there is a chrome trim strip in the front of the front of the car that runs through the LED light groups connecting the two sides, and there are two "fangs" shaped chrome decorations below, which are significantly improved compared to older models, showing a calm and atmospheric visual effect.
On the side of the body, this new car has only increased the length of the old model by 46mm, other parameters are consistent, the overall shape remains highly consistent, and the wheel rim style is the same, and there is not much novelty in the side design. In the rear part, the taillight shape of the new Ford Forros has become more stylish, and there is a chrome trim strip running through the taillight group, and two hidden exhaust decorations have been added below, overall, the sense of layering has been improved, and the visual effect is more compact.
In terms of interior, the new Ford Forros focuses on the creation of a sense of intelligent technology, and for the first time adopts a dual 10.25-inch combined screen design. It is worth mentioning that the new Forres car engine system has added a lot of Tencent application functions, and the voice wake-up method not only supports "Hello, Ford", but also supports the role awakening in the glory of the king, such as "summoning, danny" and so on, and the playability has been improved to a certain extent. In addition, the car machine system is also equipped with QQ music, WeChat, Tencent map, Himalaya and other car machine applications, which are more convenient to use, and the functionality and practicality of the car machine are still good.
In terms of space, Ford Ford Forris has a wheelbase of 2687mm, there is no obvious short board in terms of size, the rear leg space is relatively generous, and the cushion support for the legs is sufficient, but the rear floor platform has a certain bulge, and the car is not equipped with a rear exhaust air outlet, which makes the riding comfort a certain discount. In addition, the car's trunk space is wide, the depth of the car is sufficient, it has a good loading capacity, and the rear seats can be reclined as a whole, thus further improving the space usability of the vehicle.
In terms of power, the Ford Ford Forris series only provides one 1.5L engine, the engine code is CAF384Q26, which is also a "classic" three-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 122 horsepower, a peak torque of 152 Nm, and a maximum torque at 4500 rpm, the transmission system is matched with a 6AT gearbox, and the NEDC has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km. After actual measurement, it can be known that the car's actual zero hundred acceleration performance is 13.27 seconds, and the power reserve in the front section is OK, but the re-acceleration ability in the middle and rear section is insufficient, which means that in the process of high-speed driving, it is impossible to bring the driver a confident overtaking power. In addition, the actual measured 100 km comprehensive road condition fuel consumption of this car is 7.3L, which is not dominant in the same class of models for this compact car with a small size.
In terms of chassis, the Ford Ford Forris is equipped with front McPherson independent suspension and rear longitudinal arm twisting beam non-independent suspension, which is a very common chassis structure. After the road test, the steering of ford forees is larger, fortunately, the body responds to the steering in a timely manner, the flexibility of emergency avoidance in the high-speed state is higher, although the electronic stability system is set conservatively, but the timing of intervention is more appropriate, which can achieve a large deceleration effect, providing a good auxiliary effect for the emergency avoidance process, and the upper limit of the control is higher.
epilogue
From the perspective of power performance alone, Ford's three-cylinder engine did not show its power advantage, the power data was average, the acceleration performance was also average, and the key fuel economy was not outstanding. The good thing is that the Ford Forros retains good handling quality, the body responds to steering in a more timely manner, and the handling is excellent. At the same time, Forres also has a relatively generous riding space, although the functional configuration is not very rich, but the practicality is strong. Overall, the Ford Ford Forris is a qualified family sedan, but the three-cylinder engine is really a "failure".
