Ford Focus 2018 last development. The fourth generation of the compact, which will arrive in May, premiere platform and a lot of technology: better quality for one of the stars of the year.

Operation: new Best. Ford still used the most in the final development of the new Ford Focus 2018. And no wonder: the mark can not fail to renew a car that points to the segment’s sales market, which has traditionally been his “best seller” and also it faces a category very renewed this year, where new Hyundai i30, Honda Civic, Volkswagen Golf Y Peugeot 308 They have set a high bar for all who enter must give the C’s. And Ford says it will.

Just a few months ago we advance the Early reports SoBe Ford Focus 2018. Well, today we continue to deepen one of the great innovations that are expected for next year, a compact that It should already be at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March, to start then and in May your marketing. For Spain already been seen camouflaged units in late stage development, as You will see in the video then.

Ford therefore start the year and will be fourth generation Focus, a compact that has evolved over time while maintaining an marked sporting philosophy and dynamic. And this time will continue delving into their values, but with a clear objective in its roadmap: climb a few rungs this time perceived quality and environment “premium”. For aesthetics, there is no doubt it will also be more attractive and aerodynamic.

New platform and agility

To do this, and although it is officially confirmed, the new Ford Focus will be based on a new platform, very advanced on the C compact architecture brand. With it, not only the new model can now accommodate the latest technology and propulsion systems, but at the same time guarantee greater lightness: it is estimated that cutout between 50 and 100 kg weight of the current generation. Along with this new base, and to further strengthen the living and agile which has always displayed the touch Focus, Ford plans also release a “steer by wire” address: without physical connection between the steering wheel and the front axle, capable of modifying the transmission ratio according to the speed to be more direct in situations of dynamic requirements and softer, for example in maneuvers.

and assuming that the new Ford Focus will best car and even sportier sensations, perhaps the key point to improve on its fourth generation will be improved interior quality and, above all, space and livability. Remember that its rivals have enlarged much, extending even in the case of Honda Civic to 4.50 meters, not long ago the length of a saloon. The new Focus It should be around 4.40 meters, although promises more battle and wheelbase to win habitability and offer ronde and luggage compartment (or even exceed) the 400 liters of cargo capacity.

Leap in technology and security

As for atmosphere, development priority has been to raise its perceived quality even closer to the premium car values, for what Ford has greatly improved insulation and values ​​of loudness, introducing new turn much softer plastics and soft to the touch. Along with this, and following the line in both exterior and interior by New Ford Fiesta, he Ford Focus 2018 will feature a more upright console to preside over a large floating touchscreen at least, 8 inches. The ultimate in connectivity and systems art Syn3 Brand put the compact in the multimedia avant-garde.

Its technology is crowned, of course, with greater commitment also safety and assistance systems. No shortage already in its fourth generation new anti-collision nor the first steps of the brand in autonomous driving functions, already announced systems or pedestrian detection as.

Ford Focus 2018 engines

The mechanical range the new Ford Focus should move basically between 115 and 200 hp power, both in its offer diesel and traditional gasoline, as in a variant 100% power which, although not yet confirmed, should also represent the future of the brand. Gasoline, vital for one of the brands that began before the downsizing land will be their Ecoboost engines which again focus all the attention.

For starters, it is expected that the known 3 cylinder 1.0 Ecoboost continue to reach new variants further improve its balance between performance and efficiency. Versions of 115 and 130 CV should be the most demanded, to complete a range, above, you will receive the previously announced new 1.5 Ecoboost, leaving 4 to switch to the three cylinders and with system partial disconnection of cylinders, could reach 200 hp. It will, undoubtedly one of the great innovations of which presumed Ford.

While in Diesel engines 1.5 and 2.0 TDCi will continue monopolizing a range that tends to disappear, but in the meantime continue regaling with two good and very efficient low-power blocks. The transmissions will remain manual or automatic, in this case the Powershift dual clutch commanding an offer new proposals could receive up to 8 or 9 speeds.

Finished reviewing briefly the Body options that show the new Ford Focus 2018. It is expected, of course, to be released in its Traditional variant 5-door hatchback, which you should score a family wagon and, presumably, to a body “Active” marked character crossover, higher and reinforced. so would the sight line in the new Fiesta. And, of course and to complete their sportsmanship, ST and RS versions should also complete the range will be one of the most interesting compact the moment. Ford battle is served.
