Speaking of Ford, I believe that the first model that more than 80% of people think of is the Focus. But in fact, the Focus cannot be regarded as a car with a long history. It has only been around for 20 years, making it a relatively young member of the century-old Ford family. However, the young Focus once also created very brilliant results, but the sales of Changan Ford Focus have been declining in recent years. I thought that the new generation of Focus could reverse this sales decline, but judging from the current situation, it is not as good as Desirable. At this time, Ford began to develop station wagons and launched a new Focus station wagon. The new car continued the body outline of the European version of the Focus Active Wagon, was positioned as a crossover station wagon, and continued to be equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder + 8AT power combination. So how does the new Focus Travel Edition perform? Can it change Focus' current decline? Let’s learn more about it below.
First of all, in terms of appearance, although the overall outline of the new Focus Travel Edition is very similar to that of the Focus sedan, there are great changes in the details. For example, the front grille has been redesigned, and the interior uses The star array-style grille is decorated, and the shapes on both sides and bottom of the front bumper have also been slightly modified, making the entire front face look very cross-border. In addition, the internal structure of the new car's LED headlights has also undergone some changes, which are highly recognizable after lighting up.
On the side of the car body, the overall lines of the new Focus Touring Edition have not changed much from the overseas version. The gradually narrowing windows and the unique figure of the station wagon make it look more elegant than the sedan version. smell. At the same time, the roof rack and petal-type aluminum alloy wheels also add a lot of color to it. In addition, as a crossover station wagon, the ground clearance of the new Focus Touring Edition has certain advantages compared to models of the same level, and accordingly its passing ability is also stronger. In terms of body size: the length, width and height of the new car are 4678/1841/1555mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2705mm, which is a little larger than the Focus sedan, but the wheelbase remains the same.
The rear of the car also has a strong cross-border atmosphere. The new style of taillight group is highly recognizable, and the silver guard plate at the bottom highlights the fashion sense. The biggest difference from overseas is that the domestic version of the model has changed the previous single-sided dual-outlet exhaust layout to a bilateral double-outlet design, which is more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people.
As for the interior, the design of the new Focus Touring Edition is basically consistent with the current models on sale. The interior layout is relatively simple and there are no other fancy elements. Everything is very attractive and the materials used are relatively practical. At the same time, the new car will also use a button shift mechanism. And comes standard with a large central control screen.
For the power part, according to the current exposure, the new Focus Touring Edition will continue to use the current Focus’ 1.5T three-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 174 horsepower and a maximum torque of 243Nm. The transmission system matches 8 speed automatic transmission.
In general, the new Focus Travel Edition is more stylish in appearance than the conventional hatchback or sedan versions, and its rear and trunk space are also more practical. However, station wagons and three-cylinder engines are things that domestic consumers are not very fond of, so it is worth looking forward to the market performance of the new Focus station wagon.
