Sedan Ford Focus I. Sedan Ford Focus I Specifications ff1

In 1998, Ford made a splash in the automotive world by presenting the first generation Focus at the Geneva Motor Show, which replaced the popular Ford Escort. In 2002, the car underwent a small update, affecting the exterior, interior and technical components, after which it stayed on the conveyor until 2004.

The 1st generation Ford Focus sedan is made in the style of "New edge", which translates as "new face". The car has a streamlined body shape with sharply defined edges adjacent to smooth lines, which gives its appearance of confidence and a certain solidity. The front of the three-volume is topped with a sloping bonnet, a pair of triangular headlights and a neat bumper with integrated foglights and turn signals.

The silhouette of the first Ford Focus in the sedan solution is not devoid of dynamism and is harmoniously cut. The rear of the car is endowed with a sloping, albeit very high trunk line, beautiful lights and a raised bumper, which together create a sense of compactness.

The "first" Ford Focus is a typical representative of the C-class, the length of which is 4362 mm, height - 1430 mm, width - 1698 mm. The wheelbase is allocated 2615 mm, and the ground clearance is 170 mm. The curb weight of the three-volume vehicle varies from 1090 to 1235 kg.

The interior of the 1st generation "Focus" looks interesting and original due to the layout of the front panel. On the "dashboard" of devices, located in a kind of crevice, there is a standard set: a speedometer, a tachometer, a fuel level gauge and a coolant temperature gauge. On the round-shaped center console, there are the "climate" control knobs, a standard audio system (or a dummy plug in its place), a small digital clock and oval ventilation deflectors.

The interior of the Ford Focus is distinguished by high ergonomics and level of performance. In the interior of the car, inexpensive but pleasant finishing materials are used, the seats are dressed in high-quality fabric.

In the front, the first generation "Focus" sits comfortably, which is facilitated by comfortable seats, an abundance of space and a wide range of settings. The rear sofa offers free space for three passengers, but the picture is slightly spoiled by the vertical seating position and limited legroom.

The sedan's arsenal includes a spacious luggage compartment designed for 490 liters of cargo. The rear seat folds in unequal parts (60/40 ratio), adding extra volume. A full-fledged "spare wheel" is based under the raised floor, and the compartment itself is unlocked with a key or a button from the passenger compartment.

Specifications. For the "first" Ford Focus, four petrol four-cylinder "aspirated" engines were offered.
The base unit is considered to be a 1.4-liter Zetec-SE unit with a 16-valve DOHC timing belt, generating 75 horsepower and 123 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm and combined with a 5-speed "mechanics" or a 4-band "automatic" (these transmissions rely all "fours").
Behind him is a 1.6-liter Zetec-SE engine with the same timing as the previous version, but its output is 100 "horses" and 145 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm.
Next in the hierarchy is the 1.8-liter Zetec-E engine with a 16-valve DOHC gas distribution mechanism, producing 116 horsepower and 160 Nm of peak thrust at 4000 rpm.
The role of "top-end" is performed by a 2.0-liter 16-valve Zetec-E unit, the maximum potential of which reaches 130 "horses" and 183 Nm of maximum torque at 4400 rpm.

Depending on the installed engine, per hundred kilometers of run "Focus" in a three-volume body consumes on average from 6.6 to 8 liters of gasoline, acceleration to the first hundred varies from 9.3 to 14.4 seconds, and the maximum speed is from 171 to 201 km / h.

There was also a 1.8-liter TDDI turbodiesel, available in two levels of boost: 90 "horses" and 200 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm or 116 forces and 250 Nm of thrust at 2000 rpm. A couple of diesel "four" were "mechanics" or "automatic".

At the heart of the 1st generation "Focus" is the Ford C170 platform, which implies a fully independent suspension with McPherson struts on the front axle and a multi-link part with a steering effect on the rear axle. A hydraulic booster is used on the steering mechanism, and disc brakes in the front and drum in the rear (in expensive versions - disc) are responsible for deceleration.

Among the main advantages of the car, the owners note the overall reliability of the structure, comfortable suspension with steering effect, confident behavior on the road, a fairly roomy interior and inexpensive maintenance.
There are also disadvantages - mediocre sound insulation, sensitivity to fuel quality and poor paintwork.

Prices and equipment. In 2015, the “first” Ford Focus on the Russian secondary market can be purchased at a price of 150,000 to 250,000 rubles, depending on the modification, year of manufacture and technical condition. It is worth noting that the basic version of the sedan has meager equipment: power steering, driver's airbag and an adjustable steering column.

The presentation of the concept and serial version of the second generation of Ford Focus 2 cars took place in the summer and autumn of 2004. And already in 2005, the model began to be assembled in Russia at a plant in Vsevolozhsk. The model was produced from 2005 to 2011. Ford Focus 2 hit only the European and Russian markets. In the United States, the second generation was called a slightly modified first version of the car.

Ford Focus 2 was the result of painstaking work of developers in various directions. The new generation has become even more reliable and practical than its recognized and highly popular predecessor. The engineers of the concern, designing the updated model, tried to maintain and improve the strengths, as well as equip the new product with additional modern components. One of the main areas affected by the changes was the already high level of security. The designers tried to surpass all the modern requirements for the safety of passengers.

Transmission

Various gearboxes are installed on Ford Focus 2:

four-speed automatic transmission (with an engine capacity of 1.6 or 2.0 liters);
five-speed manual transmission;
six-speed manual transmission.

The Ford Focus 2 with a manual transmission is equipped with a single-disc dry clutch with a spring and a torsional vibration damper and a hydraulic speed cut-off drive.

Chassis

Based on a similar design from the first generation of the model. Car owners note such characteristics of the suspension as reliability and durability, while pointing out the difficulty in self-repair and maintenance.

Suspension characteristics:

front - independent, spring, equipped with hydraulic shock-absorber struts, as well as torsion-type anti-roll bars;
rear - semi-independent with coil springs, equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers and similar shock absorbers.

The standard equipment includes stamped steel and tubeless radial tires in 195/65 R15 and 205/55 R16 sizes.

The steering of the Ford Focus 2 is injury-free. Power steering is provided for comfortable driving. The driver can independently adjust the position of the steering column in length and tilt.

Brake system

Brakes Ford Focus 2 are hydraulically operated with a vacuum booster and pressure regulators. Front disc brakes, ventilated with a floating caliper. On the rear wheels there are drum brakes with automatic clearance adjustment or disc brakes with a floating caliper.

Dimensions (edit)

Without the overall dimensions, the technical specifications of the Ford Focus 2 would be incomplete. For most domestic car enthusiasts, the size of the car is of fundamental importance.

In 1998, the Ford Focus replaced the Escort VII. The debut took place at the Geneva auto show, where the novelty made a splash. The lineup provides complete freedom of choice: three - and five-door hatchback, sedan and Focus Turnier station wagon. The design is in line with the New Edge concept, which is based on a mixture of sharp corners and streamlined lines. The creators tried to collect all conceivable geometric shapes, for example, a turn signal in the shape of a triangle, and next to it - trapezoids, ellipses, sharp corners and curved lines. The ornate dashboard and teardrop-shaped center console look pretty avant-garde. Oval atypical scales for the speedometer and tachometer have a classic layout. Due to all this, the appearance of the car turned out to be very original and unusual.

Gasoline engines of the Zetec and Zetec-SE families with a volume of 1.4 to 2.0 liters (from 75 to 130 hp) and a diesel engine with a volume of 1.8 liters (75, 90 and 115 hp) are installed on the European Focus. American versions are equipped only with 2.0 liter gasoline engines (110 to 172 hp) paired with an automatic transmission.

The suspension on the Focus deserves a separate discussion, in front - McPherson, in the rear - an independent multi-link suspension with the effect of steering the wheels on the Control Blade corner. Provides the car with incredible cornering stability and comfort on any surface. The rest of the Focus is made according to the canons of class B: front-wheel drive, transversely located gasoline and diesel engines, McPherson front suspension, manual or automatic transmission.

Focus received several equipment options. The basic equipment (Ambiente) offered: power steering, an adjustable steering column and an airbag for the driver. In the Comfort version: front power windows, air conditioning, remote boot release, central locking and storage pockets in the front doors. The Trend trim level will delight the front "fog lamps", leather steering wheel and trunk lighting. For the most discerning and demanding clients, a luxury performance called Ghia was offered. Here, 15-inch wheels instead of 14-inch wheels, a passenger airbag, a winter package (heated seats, mirrors, windshield, washer nozzles, power mirrors), rear power windows and central locking with remote control are already standard.

At first glance, the "Focus" salon does not abound with all kinds of useful containers. The main glove compartment is small, but there are very spacious niches in the doors, in front of the gear lever there is a platform where you can put small items, for example, a mobile phone, there are pockets in the seats. The seats have standard back and forth mechanical adjustments, backrest angle and lumbar support. In expensive versions, an electric driver's seat height adjustment and a retractable armrest are provided. The steering column is also adjustable in reach and tilt, and in a very wide range.

Thanks to all of the above qualities, the Focus was named “European Car of the Year” in 1999 and “USA Car of the Year” in 2000.

In 2001, the Focus underwent a slight restyling - the headlights, front bumper, grille, and interior details changed.

In 2002, there were two "charged" modifications with forced engines of 2.0 liters - Focus ST170 with a 172 hp engine. and the 215bhp Focus RS, which was discontinued just 394 days after its launch.

The new generation Ford Focus II debuted at the September 2004 Paris Motor Show. Car production initially began in October 2004 at the Focus headquarters in Saarlouis (Germany) and Valencia (Spain), in the spring of 2005 in Russia (plant in Vsevolozhsk), PRC and Taiwan. The car is based on the platform of the Ford concern - C1, which has already given life to such models as the Ford Focus C-MAX, Mazda3 and Volvo S40 / V50. Visually, it looks more solid than its predecessor. And the point here is not only in the body style. The second generation is wider and longer (50 mm) than the first. The wheelbase has been increased by 25 mm, the track - by 40 mm. The wheels are now 15, 16 or 17 inches. That is why the cabin is so spacious, even for rear passengers. And the sloping roof, which gives the car a swiftness, is quite high above the heads of the passengers.

Thus, in Russia, since the end of summer 2005, only the new Ford Focus II of local assembly with bodies of a 5-door hatchback (3-door hatchback - from August 2005), a sedan and a station wagon in four fixed configurations: Ambiente (driver's PB, central locking , immobilizer, steering column adjustment for reach and tilt); Comfort (additionally air conditioning with air circulation and electric drive); Trend (optional on-board computer, fog lights and an improved interior) and Chia (optional aluminum and leather interior trim, a full set of PBs, including side ones, central locking with remote control, cooled glove box, Sony radio tape recorder, etc.). For a surcharge, they offer ABS and a dynamic stabilization system IVD, dual-zone climate control, bi-xenon headlights, parking sensors, an audio system with a multifunctional touch screen (6 options in total), three types of alloy wheels and the ability to install a voice control for a mobile phone.

The Russian package also includes engine compartment protection, reinforced wheels and tires, sill guards, mud flaps and a full-size spare wheel.

The range of engines for Russia: 1.4 l R4 16 V (80 hp); 1.6 L R4 16V (100 HP); 1.6 l R4 16V Duratec Ti-VCT with variable valve timing (115 hp); 2.0 l R4 16V (145 hp) and for the first time for the Russian market - Duratorg turbodiesel 1.8 l R4 16V (115 hp). The choice of gearbox is a 5-speed "mechanics" (two models, IB5 and MTX75) or a 4-speed adaptive "automatic" Durashift-ECT (only for 1.6 liters). For the European market, the Focus II is also equipped with 1.6-liter R4 16V TDCi turbodiesels in 90 hp versions. or 109 hp, as well as 2.0 l R4 16V 136 hp.

In profile, the new Focus looks stylish and harmonious. Each element of its design also has a functional purpose. For example, a visor above the rear window optimizes airflow. Even the side mirrors have been carefully worked out and this affects the acoustic comfort. In keeping with the exterior, the interior of the second Focus has become more serious. Fundamentalism is emphasized not only by the architecture of the interior decoration, but also by the quality of finishing materials. So, the front panel is now made of elastic plastic. "Ford" engineers also came up with an adjustable pedal assembly. He "drives up" to the seat by 50 mm. In general, everything is aesthetically pleasing and comfortable.

Everything in the interior is solid, solid and modern. First of all, this is the merit of higher quality materials. The combined interior looks very good with a light "bottom" and solid material of the seats. In addition, the interior has lost the sharp edges inherent in the first generation Focus. From the pleasant little things - the glove compartment has grown to 12 liters, as well as the services of passengers - cup holders, compartments for papers and backlight lamps. There is where to put small things - there are compartments next to the seats. The back sofa is quite comfortable, three people can sit on it.

Trunk volume increased by 10% to 385 liters (1.245 liters with seats folded) in the hatchback and 475 liters (1.525 liters with seats folded) in the estate.

The steering wheel on the bi-directional steering column is also level. By the way, the effort on it can be changed by selecting the appropriate mode in the on-board computer settings. In the Focus II, you can select any of three electric power steering modes: Sport, Standard, Comfort. In Sport mode, the steering wheel becomes a little tighter and the feedback in the corner is more pronounced. The "Comfort" mode is clearly with an eye on the city: in this mode, the steering wheel is light. In "Standard" mode, you can drive for the rest of the time.

The suspension is comfortable enough. Ford Focus II perfectly passes bumps, quickly copes with vibrations, stands clearly in a corner. The brakes, which have retained the continuity, adequately and reliably decelerate the car without trajectory distortions.

Safety is ensured by: side curtains and airbags that inflate from the A-pillar to the C-pillar. In the Euro NCAP rating, the Focus II is recognized as the safest car in its class.

The balance of attractive consumer qualities and prices made the Ford Focus II the sales leader in Russia among foreign golf-class cars.

In 2008, the Ford Focus was restyled. The philosophy of "kinetic design" has reached this popular model as well. The modernized car has practically no old body parts. Unless the roof remained unchanged. And everything else - headlights, hood, fenders, bumpers, mirrors - have become different. The redesigned Focus has acquired a more dynamic appearance, successfully emphasizing the speed and agility of this car. Internally, the model has also changed. The new dashboard looks much more noble. The "softness factor" of the plastic has increased, and much more. In addition, now the creators of the Ford Focus offer 2 options for the panel: "wood" or steel color.

The elephant of the restyled Ford Focus II is also good. Kinetic design cues are also visible here, such as the flowing contours of the new center console. All devices are located very conveniently, everything is in its place. Ergonomics and after restyling remained at a high level. The instrument panel is illuminated in red, making the readings easier to read. Comfortable chairs with pronounced lateral support are upholstered with high-quality, pleasant to the touch material. The plastic also looks very decent. In addition to the "kinetic" design, the car received new options. On request, the car can be equipped with air conditioning, music, heated seats, heated windshield, folding electric mirrors, directional stability system, 6 airbags, radio control from the steering column, etc.

The redesigned Focus is also rich in new features and optional equipment. A convenient fuel filler neck without a cap - EasyFuel - will help to avoid errors when refueling, and the low pressure warning system will be aware of possible problems with tires in advance. The passenger compartment has a 230 V power socket to which various electrical equipment can be connected. The new Sony audio system delivers superior sound quality and also offers the ability to listen to MP3 files and connect your mobile phone to the system via Bluetooth® for hands-free calling. Complementing the picture are LED taillights for a unique visual effect.

The line of engines of the restyled Ford Focus offered in the Russian market has not undergone any significant changes: the car will be equipped with petrol units 1.4 (80 HP), 1.6 (100 and 115 HP), 1.8 (125 HP) and 2.0 (145 HP). There is only one turbo diesel engine - with a volume of 1.8 liters and a power of 115 hp.

The vehicle's safety system has received the highest 5-star rating in the Euro NCAP tests in the adult safety category. This high level of safety is ensured by an impressive array of advanced technologies, including Intelligent Safety Systems (IPS). Lighting technologies used in the new Focus make night driving safer and more confident. The car can be equipped with headlights that turn on automatically as soon as it gets dark, as well as bi-xenon headlights, or an adaptive head lighting system. The adaptive headlight system automatically shifts the light beam horizontally depending on the vehicle speed and steering angle. This means that when you turn the steering wheel, the headlights turn to illuminate the road and not the surrounding landscape. This lighting is especially effective in bends. It improves the visibility of road bends and makes driving safer. At the same time, the new LED taillights, which come with bi-xenon headlights or adaptive headlights, light up faster and brighter than conventional bulbs. This makes the vehicle more visible to other drivers.

The car is still available in several body styles: 3- and 5-door hatchback, 4-door sedan and 5-door station wagon. The flagship model - the Focus ST - is incredible dynamics, unique sporty design, powerful brakes and 18-inch alloy wheels.

The third-generation Ford Focus was first shown to the general public at the Detroit International Auto Show in early 2010. In the summer of the same year, the novelty was presented in Russia at the August Motor Show in Moscow, however, the opportunity to buy Focus III from Russians appeared only in 2011. The manufacturer now offers only three body types - a five-door hatchback, a sedan and a station wagon - the three-door hatchback has dropped out of the lineup.

Compared to its predecessor, the Focus III added 21 mm (4 358 mm) in length, but at the same time became 16 mm lower (1484 mm) and 16 mm narrower (1823 mm). The wheelbase has grown by an additional 8 mm (2 648 mm), but the volume of the trunk has decreased slightly. In the version with a full-size spare tire, it is 372 liters for the sedan and 277 liters for the hatchback (1,062 liters with the rear seats folded).

The car received a completely new body design, but retained the best qualities of previous generations - recognizable appearance, spacious interior, versatility and reasonable prices. The exterior is effective and modern. The front bumper is distinguished by a huge air intake divided into three sections. At the rear, all the attention of the observer is occupied by lanterns of an unusual shape, extending far onto the wings. Constructed with new materials in mind, the body is constructed from several grades of steel to reduce weight and increase rigidity. The new body of the five-door version is 45% stronger than its predecessor and 15% stiffer.

The interior has also noticeably changed. It is made in a modern style: lots of buttons, nice backlighting. The backlight deserves special attention. Lights are on everywhere: above the dashboard, in buttons, in door pockets, in cup holders, at the feet. Moreover, the backlight color can be changed by pressing the button in the ceiling. Color options vary from white to orange. There is also a backlight brightness control next to this button.

The car received a completely new center console and dashboard, each of which is equipped with an LCD display. The instrument panel is made in a bright blue and blue colors. The on-board computer display is also blue backlit. It displays readings of average speed and consumption, odometer, instantaneous consumption and distance to refueling. To the right of the display, the state of the car is shown - on the drawn silhouette of the car, the dimensions and headlights light up, the doors open. And under all this animation, the readings of the box mode are displayed (on the mechanical box, the system advises when to switch to the next gear, showing the arrows up), the temperature overboard and the overall path of the car.

As the base power unit, the European Ford Focus III received a completely new four-cylinder 1.6-liter gasoline turbo engine of the EcoBoost family, available in two versions - with a capacity of 150 and 182 hp. A 6-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed PowerShift "robot" are offered as transmissions. EcoBoost engines will not be presented on the Russian market yet. The buyer can choose a 1.6-liter petrol engine with 105 and 124 hp, as well as a more powerful 2.0-liter petrol power unit with 150 hp. There will also be no six-speed mechanics, 1.6-liter engines will receive a 5-speed gearbox. Two-liter turbodiesel with 140 hp. only offered with automatic transmission.

The engine starts from the button, but access to the car is not keyless - the doors and trunk are unlocked from the buttons on the key. By the way, the hood of the Focus III now opens traditionally - using a lever in the cabin, unlocking with the logo key is a thing of the past. The filler neck is not closed with a plug. The tank can only be accessed with a gun or hose of the required diameter, and only when the machine is unlocked. By the way, Focus is powered by at least 95 gasoline.

The Russian version and many newfangled electronic systems, which were prepared for the Focus III in the amount of thirteen pieces, have been lost. These include a voice-activated navigation system, a blind spot tracking system, an emergency braking system aimed at preventing collisions at low speeds, and an automatic parking system. The optional Premium Light package includes bi-xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights and LED taillights. The car is offered to Russian buyers in one of four trim levels: Ambiente, Trend, Trend Sport and Titanium.

The basic equipment of Ambiente offers electric side mirrors and front windows, ABS and EBD systems, steering wheel adjustment for reach and tilt angle, and the driver's seats in height, body-colored mirror caps and a rear spoiler (for a hatchback), remote door locking, a system refueling Ford Easy Fuel without using a filler cap, etc. The Trend equipment received such options as air conditioning, heated outside mirrors, 16-inch wheels with decorative caps, as well as an audio system with radio, CD / MP3, monochrome display, 6 speakers and USB port. The Trend Sport version includes ESP and EBA systems, chrome stripes on the body, sports front seats, premium center console, front foglights, leather steering wheel with system controls, heated front seats, trip computer, side airbags, etc. The top version of Titanium adds light and rain sensors, black glossy trim for the radiator grille, LED lights (for a hatchback), leather trim for the gearshift lever, decorative LED interior lighting, dual-zone climate control, and a start button.

Ford Focus is one of the bestsellers of the American manufacturer. It gained its popularity due to the fact that the latest generations have become global models and were available in most markets. They are not aimed at any specific audience and were suitable for a large part of buyers. On April 10, 2018, a completely new fourth generation debuted at a special European event. It is much more focused on the countries of the old world, received a line of compact subcompact units, an interior made in accordance with all the canons of fashion and a completely new design. In the guise of the fourth generation, you can only catch the echoes of the past generation. It has a more massive hexagonal radiator grille with a large plastic mesh. The headlights have also become noticeably larger and are positioned slightly higher. The front bumper itself is also more aggressive, thanks to larger air intakes and a low aerodynamic lip. The silhouette of the car is distinguished by more prominent lines thanks to embossing on the fenders and doors.

Dimensions (edit)

Ford Focus is a golf class subcompact car. Depending on the version, its overall length varies from 4378 to 4668 mm, the width is 1825 mm, the height is 1454-1481 mm, and the wheelbase is 2700 mm. The model is based on the new C2 platform, which is characterized by an increased content of high-strength alloys. She has a front transverse arrangement of the power unit and several options for the layout of the chassis. In all cases, the front axle will have McPherson struts with an anti-roll bar and rigid levers. Younger versions with basic power units will be equipped with a torsion-bar semi-dependent beam, and more advanced ones with a real multi-link system. The trunk size of the model is average. The maximum possible usable volume obtained by folding the backrests of the rear sofa varies from 1354 to 1635 liters.

Secrets of "Focus"

Secondary market

With this issue, the format of our heading changes: now we will study in detail the typical "sores" of cars that are in the greatest demand in the secondary market. The series of such publications is opened by the long-term sales leader among new foreign cars - Ford Focus.

An American car manufacturing company called Ford, at a show in the Chinese capital - Beijing, 2004, showed its new development of the second generation - the Ford Focus sedan.

And already in Frankfurt, at the 2008 car exhibition, Ford presented an updated Focus model, which acquired new outlines of the body, interior, and the appearance as a whole. A car with such an interior was produced until 2011. When many motorists wanted to look at Ford's restyling, they went to the Internet with a search: Ford Focus 2 restyling technical specifications. As this car was dubbed at that time - "Focus - 2", with a three-volume body it looked more solid and lively than its "younger brother", its stylistic framing is also connected with the current kinetic style.

The most memorable part of it is the front, its design is very beautiful. The car had at that time: a beautiful embossed hood, had sculptural optics (in more expensive versions there was a rotary bi-xenon), a trapezoid-shaped air intake was also visible on the bumper, and round fog lights along the edges of the bumper. The massive outlines of the car were given by its inflated wheels, with a disc coating in sizes from 15 to 17 inches, a tilted hood, a heavily heaped C-pillar and massive doors.

But always good, wherever it may be, ends. What's wrong with this car? Her back. It feels like the designers were paid only for the development of the front end, and the back has already been completed on the way. I am an adherent of minimalism and simplicity, but not this time, because the entire rear part looks dull and tasteless, it is not even saved by LED lights and a developed bumper with a plastic lining. At the time of the release of the announcement of this car, many were swarming on the Internet with requests for Ford Focus 2 hatchback specifications, or they were looking for Ford Focus 2 station wagon specifications.
