As we all know, the Ford Focus was once the sports benchmark in compact cars, and it can be said that it has attracted countless fans in the same class, and its monthly sales in its heyday were even close to 40,000. But with the release of the new generation of Fox, the entire series was replaced with three-cylinder power, which seems to be drifting away from the road of sporty performance.
As for the situation in the market today, I believe that everyone can see that the sales performance of the current Fox in recent years has been in a decent state, and manufacturers are also aware of the seriousness of the problem.
So Ford is no longer willing to sit still and has made a new adjustment to the Fox! It is bound to change the existing pattern~
Recently, the professor learned a set of new Fox car photos in the relevant channels, in addition to the appearance of the adjustment, the power system is also equipped with a new four-cylinder engine, the new car will be officially released in the second quarter of this year as soon as possible.
In terms of appearance, the biggest change in the front face is to change the grille to a polygonal honeycomb style, with a more aggressive headlight group, which raises the sports atmosphere of the whole vehicle. At the same time, according to the information of the previous appearance of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the lower bracket also provides a variety of styles to choose from, and the future version of the appearance kit will also have the ordinary version, S EDITION and ST-LINE version.
On the side, because it is only an annual change, there has not been a major change, and it is still generally consistent with the cash. The body size, also not much different from the current model, the wheelbase is still 2705mm, in the structure continues to provide hatchback and sedan versions to meet the actual needs of different consumers.
If you look at the sports aura alone, the rear of the car still has a strong visual impact, double out of the unilateral exhaust port, the upper spoiler and other elements of the blessing, continue to enhance the radical atmosphere effect, it is easier to get the favor of the younger generation of users.
In terms of interior, the entire central control area has not changed much, it is still the traditional "T" layout, but the screen size has been increased, and it has integrated the latest vehicle intelligent interconnection system, supporting Apple Carplay and Android Auto mobile phone interconnection functions, which is more suitable for the current intelligent human-machine experience.
The power system is the most anticipated component of this revision netizens, the new Focus will be equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, the maximum horsepower is 177 horses, the transmission system is expected to match the 6-speed manual and 8-hand self-contained gearbox, in the same level to continue to maintain the AT transmission is still relatively rare, I believe it can also make many fans boiling blood.
However, there is also news that the new Focus or equipped with Changan Automobile's independently developed 1.6T power system, but from the current point of view, such claims will not be self-defeating, and the 1.5T four-cylinder engine is also the signature product of the Ford family.
The new Focus, which returns to the four-cylinder powertrain, will also target small steel cannon models of the same level in the future, such as the currently hot Volkswagen Golf and Honda Civic Hatchback.
Honda Civic Hatchback
Guidance price: 14.39-166,900 yuan
Volkswagen Golf
Guidance price: 12.98-229,800 yuan
Of course, the Lynk & Co 02 HATCHBACK under the domestic brand Lynk & Co is also a strong opponent, and the accumulation of more hardcore configurations can also cause some pressure on the new Fox.

Guidance price: 17.68-18.18 million yuan
Although the three-cylinder engine has brought a very great impact on Fox, Fox's inherent sports image is still deeply rooted in the hearts of many post-80s and post-90s consumers. Moreover, Fox's ability to control performance is still there, and fox, which returns to the four-cylinder machine, is still far from returning to the position of the king of sales?
After all, the domestic Fox family extension models are also quite rich, in addition to hatchbacks and sedan models, there are also "crock pot" powder favorite hunting version, enough to meet the different needs of young consumers.
