Introduction

Ford has completely changed the direction of the last generation, end the coupe and inaugurating a new sedan and five-door hatchback. To accomplish this, Ford produced the sedan as more aristrocrated, stylish and sportier than the model it replaced budget. The automaker has also completed the sedan is available with intelligent technologies and features. such as the service park MyFord active sync vector torque control, HD Radio with iTunes Tagging, a rearview camera, keyless access with intelligent and push button start features. Ford hopes that the technologies like these help buyers get the other vehicles larger and better equipped in general, or even luxury cars in the Ford Focus, cheaper and more compact.

Pricing structure

In 2012 Focus Sedan S starts at $ 16 270 plus costs of $ 775 destination. Although one might think that the base cost would be greater than the forthcoming and extroverted model. The Focus Sedan spot price is competitive with the Chevrolet Cruze ($ 16,275), but $ 820 more than the Mazda Mazda3 and Toyota Corolla ($ 15,450) and $ 465 more than the Honda Civic ($ 15,805).

At first sight, the cost difference may seem surprising, but Ford intends to take his focus a bit more elegant than the competition of the market and justify the price difference with extra content and hard driving dynamics.

Characteristics of Driving

Ford has upgraded the Control Blade multi-link suspension rear and front subframes is isolated, which aims to modify the handling and ride comfort. Ford said its an European driving dynamics experts paid the major attention to improve vehicle stability and the agility to introduce advanced dynamic control in corneing – designed to use a torque vectoring technology to share power in a procedure, which is able to reduce understeer to improve communication and provide better cornering.

Ford has also increased the EPAS (Electric Power Assist Steering) system to help in reducing the stress during the low speed of movement, as parking, but it is constrain to provide more accurate and more normal feel at high speeds.

Upgraded propulsion systems

Ford compact with a 2.0 ltr four-cylinder engine with all-new Focus,and the new engine has been improved considerably and has a combination of direct injection and twin independent variable camshaft (Ti-VCT) . Ford says that these changes increase the power in the last 2.0-liter Duratec by 20 horsepower while serving greater than a 10 % increase in fuel economy. Final output is currently estimated at 160 hp and 146 Nm of torque. This extravagant technology made in the power plant will generate, both five-speed automatic or manual six-speed powershift.

The Powershift dual dry clutch six-speed automatic is the second transmission request to the most recent Ford after its appearence in the small Fiesta. This communication can reduce fuel expenditure by 9 percent over the extrovert four-speed automatic communication.

Safety features

Like its stablemate Fiesta, the new Focus creates considerable use of high potential, ultra high potential. Steel and boron added inflexibility and crash operation. Ford says that 55 % of the basket, and more than 26 percent of Focus\’ high structure is created with boron, which helps to minimise weight and offers greater security than conventional steel to avoid the accidental matters.
