Ford is a car company with a very long history. Although its development in the Chinese market has been average in recent years, it does not affect its global position. Ford's cars are relatively popular in Europe and the United States and have a certain market share. And Ford's model coverage is very wide. In addition to cars and SUVs, there are also pickup trucks and trucks, etc., all of which have strong competitiveness in various fields. It is reported that the Changan Ford Focus Travel Edition is expected to go on sale in November, which will further enrich the product lineup of the Focus car series and form four types of Focus hatchback, sedan, Focus active crossover and Focus Travel.
As for the exterior styling, the new car is equipped with a China-exclusive chrome-plated front face, using a hollow chrome-plated starry sky air intake grille shape, which is surrounded by chrome-plated trim parts, making it highly recognizable. The rear design of the body adopts the shape of a station wagon, so there is more space in the rear row and trunk, which enhances practicality. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4678/1841/1555mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2705mm. In terms of details, the new car is equipped with 18-inch wheels with specifications of 215/50?R18.
As for the power system, the station wagon version 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, and is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
In general, after adjustments to the management team and product lines, Changan Ford has also seen its sales stop declining. Changan Ford sold 21,726 vehicles in July 2020, a year-on-year increase of 20.22%. The cumulative sales from January to July were 119,174 vehicles, an increase of 27.82%. In fact, the current sales performance of Changan Ford Focus is not very good. This relatively niche model obviously has no obvious effect on increasing sales. However, for those who like station wagons, the Focus station wagon version can more or less interest everyone.
