New Ford Focus 4 Restyling. Ford Focus: "Focus" with reincarnation

Sales market: Europe.

FOCUS FOURT-FIRST FAMILY The generation is still included by the popular version of the wagon. The new Focus Estate looks more dynamic, sports and even a predecessor representative. This was contributed by the changing proportions of the body: the car received an enlarged wheel base, shorter skes, stronger than the cabin shifted back and, accordingly, a longer hood. For the station wagon, the belt line and the lowered roof line, which ends with very short rear racks with small side windows is also characteristic. Focus now has a division into several modifications oriented on different consumers. Vignale execution is designed for more demanding on the presence of luxury customers, the St Line version with a 10 mm clearance is designed for lovers of a sports ride. Special attention is drawn to the cross-version of the Active Wagist - the variation on the theme of the "Ovnodny" Focus with an increased 30 mm clearance.

A strong impression produces a completely new Ford Focus interior of the fourth generation. The front panel seems to be weightless, due to the fact that the former vertical orientation of the central console and the air ducts gave way to horizontal with a significant increase in space in the front of the cabin. The location of the ACPP lever took a swivel switch of motion modes PRND. The top of the center console is located a separate display of the newest Multimedia SYNC 3 system with an 8-inch touch screen. In the instrument panel - a large multifunctional display. A high-quality plastic, aluminum, insertion under wood and leather is used to finish the wagon salon. The new Focus wagon is characterized by thoughtful ergonomics, will offer even more comfortable seats with improved side support, plenty of storage spaces, double panoramic roof, adjustable LED lighting, wireless charging of the Qi standard, etc. The new B & O audio system with a capacity of 675 W is specially calibrated under the wagon body and is equipped with ten speakers, including a 140 mm diameter installed in the trunk and a medium speaker in the dashboard center.

The most powerful gasoline engine allows the focus in the body a wagon to accelerate to the maximum speed of 220 km / h, and it will take 8.8 seconds to overclock up to 100 km / h. Characteristics of 150-strong modifications on heavy fuel: maximum speed of 209 km / h, acceleration up to 100 km / h in 8.9 seconds. Considerable attention is paid to improving efficiency. If the gasoline versions of the station wagon consume 4.8-6.1 l / 100 km, then diesel average consumption is approximately 4.5 liters 100 km.

Together with the Hatchback Universal Ford Focus Estate Fourth Generation is built on a new platform called C2. The SLA independent suspension geometry adopted for the new wagon (Short-Long ARM) allowed shock absorbers so as to maximize the inner space of the trunk and make the loading platform wider. In addition, the rear independent suspension is supplemented by adaptive continuously controlled damping shock absorbers (CCD), the rigidity of which can vary with the interval of only 20 milliseconds. And to the standard DRIVE MODE selector modes - Normal, Sport and ECO - added two more Comfort and Eco-Comfort modes. In accordance with the selected mode, the settings of the accelerator, automatic transmission, electric power steering and adaptive cruise control are changing.

Ford Focus 2018-2019 Video Test

The preparation of the new focus was released on the finish line: the main development process was already completed, now there is a conclusion of the model - and the photospones caught on the roads the camouflaged prototypes. According to the British edition of Autocar, the new Focus will be present in early 2018, but there are some details about the car now.

Focus fourth generation will be built on the same Global C platform, which underlies the second and third generation models. The car practically will not change in size, but the wheelbase will grow by about five centimeters, which promises the increased space for the rear passengers. For this parameter, the current model is inferior to most competitors and even some! In this case, the car will become easier for about 50 kg.

The main type of body in Europe will remain a five-door hatchback, although the sedan will also be sedan and the wagon, and in addition will appear the "off-road" version of Active with plastic lining on the body and a slightly enlarged road lumen according to the sample. Moreover, it is possible that such machines can be ordered with full drive: in this case, the transmission borrow from the Ford Kuga promotor crossover.

European engine gamma will slightly reduced: the initial atmospheric of 1.6 with a capacity of 85 hp will disappear from it. Basic will be the current turbotroom 1.0 eCoboost, but the number of options for forcing will grow from two to three (100, 125 and 139 hp). Still in the program and gasoline turbo engines with a volume of 1.5 and 2.0 liters. Motor 1.5 TDCI can be the only remaining diesel engine (now it is produced in versions of 95, 105 and 120 hp), and the two-liter engine is most likely to put on the "charged" version of ST. In addition, a fully electric Focus will continue in the gamma.

However, for us these calculations are not too important: in Russia, the motors will surely be completely different. For example, now our focuss have neither three-cylinder turbo travels nor diesel engines. The main engine is gasoline in three options for forcing (85, 105 and 125 hp), and the most powerful - turbocarity 1.5 (150 hp) imported from Romania.

On the spy photograph of the salon you can see that the form of the front panel has become much more concise and resembles a new fiesta. This should add space in the cabin: due to the massive panel, the current Focus is felt tight. Journalists of the AUTOCAR edition lead the words of one of the Fords designers, who recognized that with the front panel of the "third" focus and the sixth generation fiesta, they leaned with a stick. It is still difficult to say something defined about the appearance, but in the photos it can be seen that the rear racks of the hatchback lost the little windows, and the rear optics for the first time in the history of the focus will go to the trunk lid.

In Europe, the Ford Focus of the third generation was unable to repeat the success of the predecessors: 292 thousand cars were sold in record 2011, while the demand for the second generation model reached 440 thousand copies per year, and the "first" Focus was at all three years in a row found more than 500 thousand Buyers.

The first generation of this car appeared back in 1999. During this time, three generations appeared, which differ significantly from each other. For a long time, the vehicle was sold in the amount of more than one million, which indicates the great popularity of this model. Most recently appeared Ford Focus 4, 2018, photos of which appeared on the Internet quite recently. The car is a middle class representative, its price is relatively small. Consider the features of the fourth generation, which has not yet been officially represented.

Long-awaited bestseller after updating

Specifications

Ford Focus 2018 in a new body is a very attractive car. Not yet known all the technical characteristics of the new generation, but still some information is known. An example call the following moments:

However, all other characteristics are not yet known.

Exterior

Ford Focus 4, 2018 (photo, price), when it comes out in Russia, it is not known, it should turn out a very attractive car. However, the prototypes were presented exclusively on which new technical developments are experiencing. To the features of the exterior, we will take the following moments:

The appearance became more aggressive and expressive, as far as the class in question.
Change the size of a new generation. Due to this, the car should become more comfortable. The version in the body of the wagon will appear.
The use of modern technologies made it possible to reduce its weight with increasing body size. So almost all cars have become easier for about 200 kilograms. The use of modern materials led to improved controllability by increasing body rigidity. The moment that the mass of the previous generation was only 1,300 kilograms, then the changes will be substantial. By reducing the mass to decrease and fuel consumption.
The increase in the body will be carried out in length and width. In the width of the new Ford Focus 2018 by installing a new chassis. Increasing the width of the body will increase the resistance of the car on the road.
Today, almost on all new generations of various cars, the installation of LED optics is carried out. This is due to the fact that it is more efficient and looks more attractive. However, the complication of the design increases the cost of the car. Therefore, it is not yet known whether all configurations will have optics of this type or only more way options for equipping.

Considering the main competitor in this class, that is, Opel Astra, we note that the car has installed innovative diode optics with the function of automatic adjustment under road conditions.

Interior Ford Focus 2018

The second and third generation was not characterized by attractive interiors. According to the automaker, the new generation salon will be significantly transformed. Among the features, we note the following points:

Finishing must use better materials. At the same time should increase the quality of the assembly.
Representatives of Ford company promised to revise the multimedia system, which previously did not have high efficiency and had significant problems. Among the disadvantages it should be noted the unfortunate design and slow work device. According to modern trends, the device will support the popular Android Auto and Apple CAR programs. Due to these programs, you can synchronize the mobile device. Synchronization can pass through Bluetooth wireless communication or via USB.
In an expensive configuration, a completely digital shield will be installed. Due to this, all the information will be read better.
As previously noted, the body must be parting in the dimensions, due to which the salon will become more comfortable.
On the posted photos on the network, you can mark a new steering wheel with 4ps, and the main focus on the design of the central torpedo is made on the control audio control unit. It is assumed that sports seats will be installed in the basic configuration.

The salon turned out to be new, high-quality and rather functional. However, it cannot be called truly modern.

Installation and Prices Ford Focus 4 2018 in the new body

As previously noted, the new Ford Focus of 2018, configuration and prices, photocotting has yet been officially presented, until it is shipped and information about the novelty is a bit. The kitchback version should appear earlier, after which it will be possible to purchase a sedan and wagon. Among the features, we note the following points:

The car must be supplied in several configurations. At the same time, the most affordable offer will cost 750000 rubles.
Traditionally, this model increases the cost of about 10-15%. This is due to the fact that the model enjoys very highly popular and due to this, the automaker decided to increase its revenues.
In pursuit of their competitors, the American automaker decided to significantly increase the number of available options. For example, the front and rear seats may have heated and an electrical control unit. At the same time, the finish can be represented by textiles, leather and other materials.
The car will become better and equipped due to the installation of a wide variety of systems. So in the middle at the price of the configuration, it is assumed to install a multimedia system.

While the car was not officially presented difficult to say what kind of equipment it will be sold.

Major competitors

In the class with quite a lot of serious competitors. This is due to the fact that most buyers have an amount with them just enough to acquire models from this class. In addition, with each new generation, the quality of finishing and equipment rises significantly. Competitors from this model are as follows:

Sedan.
Sedan.
Sedan.

It is still difficult to assess the competitiveness of the new proposal from the American automaker, since there is practically no official information about it. Summing up, we note that the new car will become more technological and attractive. Due to the use of a new base and chassis, when creating this car, the comfort of passengers increased significantly, manageability. Recently, GM products have been relatively low popularity due to the development of the technologies of German and Asian automakers. The novelty should significantly increase the number of sales. Many believe that this model should be a bestseller.

Photo

Over the past few years, it worked at the creation of new models, pulling out several different options to the public, but the new Ford Focus focus model of the fourth generation was one of the most important new things.

Ford, probably, could not update the previous generation for a few more years, selling so well. Consider ourselves: only in the United States over the past year more than 158 thousand copies of the Focus model were implemented. In the world during the same time, several hundred thousand models of this brand were implemented. Such results may envy many automakers. For example, for 2017, the total sales of Lada cars amounted to 311 thousand copies.

From here we conclude: the American model is still relevant both in technical and external data, that is, it is quite suitable for car enthusiasts on the main characteristics, vital for the sale and promotion of the product. Moreover, sales of the two first generation models were also at the height: in 2012, almost 246 thousand cars sold on the Ford home market, and the first restyling of the first generation only in the States was broadcast with an incredible circulation of 286 thousand units.

So why did you need to update and without that successful? Perhaps this question will answer a visual comparison of two generations. As they say, we will put them side by side and compare.

Revolution, not evolution

In terms of redesign, Ford preferred, rather, a revolutionary approach than evolutionary. The photo shows that this is clearly Ford Focus, but also a naked look it is noticeable that he is completely new. Moreover, not only appearance changed, but also the concept as a whole.

The automaker, apparently, I really wanted to do more, but he did not go along this path. Compensate the absence of an increase in the length and width of the body made it possible to change its proportions. Thanks to the updated design of the "residential" part of the car, the new model received an elongated hood that gives her a sports, "rolled" view. More attracting elements, more vertical recesses, thickens, extensions.

Such a neat model rebuilding still made it possible to get a more roomy interior and expand the useful space for the cargo compartment. The entrance / access to the car will be easier and more convenient.

A two more words about the forms of the model. Ford worked very well above its external data. Sheet metal struck such suitable improvements that they are simply impossible not to notice. A dynamic silhouette, multiplied by the sophistication of parts, distinguishes a new generation from an old quadratic, streamlined model. Where the third generation had only inexpressive angles and sharp, like the chisel the carved folds, the new generation of hatchback offered beautiful soft circuits with a stunning style.

The new "face" dominates a large trapezoidal raw radiator. The lower holes in the bumper differ in style, depending on the proposed configuration, but even in the baseline they look wider and more aggressive than that of the 2017 model. The headlights have become slimmer, exquisite, they are better framed by a longer hood. The boards are more sculptural, especially from the rear point of the review by three quarters. The car looks clearly more upscale than it is positioned on the mass market. Especially all of the above is noticeably in cars with premium finish levels that are more reminded or rather than budget hatchback.

Winner in appearance: Ford Focus 2019. Competed with a novelty, the previous generation is clearly not capable. These are cars of completely different stylistic levels!

Premium for the mass market

It would be impossible to call the model of the victorious, if inside, from a technical point of view, was not applied to the latest automatic auto-building.

The renewed high-quality appearance gently goes into the inner space where the focus was carefully recycled for a modern automotive era. Instead of the vertical direction of the central panel of black soft plastic - a new panel, broken into extensive horizontal pieces, with a mix of various materials, as they do in more fashionable cars. Leather (most likely leatherette, but high quality), high quality plastic, aluminum ...

The small screen in the center is replaced with an 8-inch touch screen, praying in the last years above the torpedo. Where the usual, now elegant swivel round, they can choose one of the Motion modes of the PRND.

The seats look more comfortable, with high-quality side support, the decoration of the cabin as a whole has become more relevant, and the overall situation is clearly beyond the scope of the budget class.

Add to this list more space inside and the newest electronic equipment. Obviously got into a new, highest league.

On the way - more variations on the topic of new Ford Focus

Ford has already demonstrated a new Focus in a five-door hatchback version and a universal body, also shown by four configurations: Active, St-Line, Titanium and Vignale. All these configurations will move to the Sedan version, which, judging by the number plate, will come to the Chinese market. The new focus sedan fully adopted the Hatch style with the only difference: the classic forms in it are viewed much more clearly.

And also on the new concept - the elevator "all-terrain" version of the car, which will be offered as a substitute for simple crossovers.

Sports, powerful versions are preparing - ST and RS. Their technical data is not yet disclosed, but, presumably, it will be a minimum of 300 liters. with. Under the hood and 4-5 seconds of overclocking until the first hundred.
