Ford Focus 3-the Next Best Car

By:


The first Ford Focus made a real revolution in the concept hatchback when it first appeared on the market in 1998. Today we can see the third generation of the model with the most significant change. Will the third generation be able to achieve the same success as its predecessors, is something we will see soon. Until now over 10 million Ford Focus were realized, the previous generation was manufactured in Germany, Spain, USA, Mexico, China, Taiwan, Russia, Philippines, Vietnam and South Africa.

But even now it is clear that there are many things that may help the model in achieving its goal-new platform, class-leading suite for safety, green technologies like stop-start system and active front grille, a serious leap in quality of performance, 5 doors and the new family of engines EcoBoost.

The car was developed in Europe but it is intended for sale in over 120 countries in the world regardless of this, all its variations in different markets have 80% unification of the details. The new global platform for C-segment of the Ford Motor Company will be the basis of at least 10 models and the plans are the company to produce two million units a year. The car comes to the market along with three variants of the body-sporty five-door hatchback, four-door sedan and stylish wagon. All versions already have the typical brand features of a dynamic design, combined with serious set of intellectual technologies, remarkable level of active and passive safety. We should not miss to mention the active help in parking, for prevention from hits in low speed and for leaving the lane.

The 5-door variant of Ford Focus has height of 1484 mm, length of 4358 mm and width of 1823 mm (without the mirrors). This model is 16 mm lower, 21 mm loner and 16 mm narrower than the current European Ford Focus. The wheelbase is already 2648-8 mm more than that of Ford Focus 2.

The new Focus definitely impresses with its presence and behavior on the road. The engine is diesel with 163 hp power and robotic gearbox PowerShift. The sound of the engine is like a sporty growl. The chassis setup is in the spirit of the tradition of the previous Focus cars. There is an evolution of the front suspension. In the rear suspension which is quite familiar- Control Blade Suspension there are new shocks, larger bearings and new attachment of the stabilizer. And when you are in turn on the road you can feel anything what happens to the car. The car moves quite smoothly and there is a great comfort while driving it. The Ford model also the ESP-system which operates the brake of the inner for the turn wheel-this provides a great safety on the road.
