In the context of the decline in the broader market, Ford has shown a trend of growth against the market in the Chinese market. According to the previously released September data, Ford's September sales reached 20,707 units, achieving a double increase of 17.3% month-on-month and 6% year-on-year.
Specific to the model, the car market Forres sales contributed the most to 4109 units, while the Mondeo reached 3835 units. Ford did not release Fox data and does not appear to be optimistic. This model, which has created countless brilliant achievements in the Chinese market in the past, has now lost its luster and cannot compete with its former rivals such as Langyi.
The reason must be clear to everyone, the whole series of three cylinders is the biggest reason, but Ford does not seem to be willing to lose this market segment. With the release of overseas mid-term changes, domestic Fox is bound to undergo a major update.
Hatchback version
In terms of design, we can refer to the overseas model picture, which is the official picture officially released by Ford recently, and the new Focus has a hatchback version, a travel version, and an ST version, and there will be some differences in the specific design. Compared with the current model, a new style of grille is used, and the design of the bottom two sides of the deflector is more exaggerated and the movement effect is stronger. The headlight group has also undergone some changes, and the internal LED light source has become similar to a triangle, which is more concise.
Travel Edition
The travel grille was changed to a longitudinal design, the roof was added to the luggage rack, and the body was more slender. The ST version uses a black wavy grid with the word ST inside, and the two sides of the deflector groove are completely blackened, in addition to the use of red calipers, black wheels, more sporty, the other two versions of the wheel hub styles are also different.
ST version
In the interior part, you can see a screen with a size of 13.2 inches, as well as a full LCD meter, and the sense of technology atmosphere is stronger. The central control screen has a built-in SYNC 4 infotainment system, which supports mainstream functions such as voice control, OTA upgrade, and wireless Carplay, and the texture design of the seat is very textured.
The shanghai overseas ordinary model is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine + 48V light mixing system, while the ST uses a 2.3T engine with a maximum horsepower of 280 horses, all matching 6MT and 7-speed dual clutch. However, the domestic version will use a completely different combination of power, and there has been news that the domestic Fox will upgrade the entire series to a four-cylinder engine, which will undoubtedly bring good feelings to consumers. If the domestic follow-up can synchronize the shape of the overseas model and smoothly replace it with four-cylinder power, it will also be of great help to the increase in model sales. Although Ford is currently on a steady rise, a major model like the Fox can really return to the top if it can return to the head camp. What do you think of the new Fox?
