I remember 5 or 6 years ago, when I chose my first car, the Ford Focus was targeted because I had a need for the handling of a car. In this class of models, one can talk about sports, one is the Fox, the other is the Mazda 3.
Maybe I have more feelings for the Fox, so this car has become a major consideration. The Fox that was on sale at the time was the third generation, and I actually experienced it, and it did have a prominent side in terms of sportiness. And in the end, the main reason I gave up fox was space, because that generation of models, space for me, an old driver who is 183cm tall, is a little cramped.
Although I didn't "take the heart" to win the Fox, in my heart, the Fox in the joint venture A-class car belonged to Dream Car's status. So much so that all these years, I've been watching Fox, the fourth generation of Fox.
Speaking of the fourth generation of Fox, the individual has also tested the driving experience many times, including friends around him, and the conclusion is that the sports control is still the same, and the space has become larger, and the interior workmanship materials have also been significantly improved, of course, including the car-machine interconnection, which is advancing with the times, there has been obvious progress.
We're just talking about sportiness today, and personally, Fox's athletic skills are still at a high level, both in terms of power and chassis. However, today's Fox is no longer the same as in the past. You know, the previous two generations of models, at the peak of the country, even monthly sales of more than 30,000, 40,000, the conventional state is also the average monthly level of 20,000 or so, and now? I think you saw it too.
Some people say that the problem with this generation of Fox is power, that is, the power of the whole series is equipped with three cylinders. When it comes to three-cylinder machines, both manufacturers and consumers are very sensitive. Over-the-top point, talk about three cylinder discoloration.
In fact, I personally feel that the topic of the three-cylinder machine is a topic that cannot be avoided in the car market in recent years, and behind the topic is the "lying gun" of the car company. Why? Because car companies choose to build three-cylinder machines, not unilaterally willing, but in line with the trend of the times. On the three-cylinder, Ford is building, Toyota is building, BMW has also built.
Of course, time also gives the answer, in the three-cylinder machine, although the car company has made great efforts, but the market acceptance is very low, Fox is one of them. Is it the three-cylinder machine that makes the Focus less athletic? After I tried it, I found that it wasn't; was it the three-cylinder engine that affected Fox comfort? I think it is not, the impact of Fox, or everyone's perception of the three-cylinder machine, which is subjective directly affects the objective.
The so-called time-conscious person is Junjie, and many car companies have chosen to make changes in the face of such problems, such as general-purpose departments, Geely, etc., and Ford is the same. Before, we got the news that Fox will return to the four-cylinder power, and now, the news has been confirmed, the information of the four-cylinder version of the Fox has appeared on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, that is, if it is fast, we can buy the four-cylinder power Fox this year.
The return to the four-cylinder will bring about an increase in sales?
From the previous changes in buick Yinglang's sales, it can be seen that the return to four-cylinder power may bring a "resurrection" effect on a car. The yinglang of the whole series of three cylinders has only "a few thousand" monthly sales, and after the redesign, it can now maintain an average monthly sales of more than 10,000 units. For Fox, I think that if you want to return to the original peak, the return to the four cylinders is the premise, and it also reflects the "sincerity" of the manufacturers to the market.
On the other hand, Fox's soul is sports, how to make the current post-95s, or even post-00s, can feel the fun of Fox's control, is the key to achieving sales. In addition, compared with the past, a car just relies on sports to walk, obviously not enough, its intelligent interaction includes a sense of technology, but also the key to winning the hearts of young people. And with those times, I think Fox needs to make more changes, look at the new generation of Mondeo, that's the example.
