New Focus opens pre-orders for all four-cylinder engines

On the evening of June 13, Changan Ford officially announced that its compact sedan, the new Ford Focus, has officially opened for reservations. This time it is a mid-term facelift. The biggest highlight is that the Ford Focus has been replaced with a four-cylinder engine this time.

In terms of appearance, Fox adopts a new design language this time, which is quite similar to Mondeo in style. The interior of the black polygonal air intake grille is filled with honeycomb. The headlights of the medium and high models will use LED light sources, while ST Line Version models will feature blackened headlights.

The side shape of the body is basically the same as that of the current model, and it will still adopt a more sporty line and a three-dimensional waistline.The tail also continues the style of the current model, and the tailgate has an effect similar to the rear wing.

In terms of interiors, the new Fox has not changed much this time. It still focuses on the design of 8-inch combined instrument panel + 12.3-inch central control screen. It has an excellent sense of technology. The SYNC system is installed in the central control screen, and the fluency performance is also relatively good. .

The previously controversial knob handle was cancelled and replaced with the mechanical handle in the past. Certain adjustments have also been made to the design of the seat, and ergonomics have been improved.

In terms of space, the new Fox has not been upgraded this time, and the wheelbase is still 2705mm, but due to the change in appearance, the external dimensions have been adjusted to a certain extent, reaching 4672x1824x1460mm.

In terms of power, the entire Fox series adopts a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, matched with a 6AT gearbox, with a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 243N m.Interestingly, this power combination was used by Fox before the replacement, and the gearbox supplier was Aisin.

In general, this time Fox has switched back to a four-cylinder engine, which is of certain significance for its boosting sales. Although the old three major items may have some influence on word of mouth, the flaws do not hide their shortcomings. Fox still has a significant improvement in product strength.
