All the most good about the People's Automobile and not only. What is the gearbox on Ford Focus III generation of configuration and prices

the main / miscellanea

Ford Focus 3 Engine 1.6 Litra is designed in the early 2000s. Since October 2015, DURATEC 1.6 Ti-VCT is produced in Russia at a new auto unit of the American concern. The engine is installed on Russian Ford Focus., Fiesta and even EcoSport. Structurally, the same motor has a power of 85, 105 and 125 hp The capacity difference is achieved exclusively by the individual firmware of the control unit (ECU). Accordingly, cheaper basic focus versions receive 85 strong versions, and a more expensive 125 strong version of the motor. It is rather a marketing move than a technically sound difference. The atmospheric gasoline engine has a system shift system for gas distribution on both camshafts and timing belt drive. We'll talk about the rest of the motor next.


Device of the Ford Focus Engine 3 1.6 liters.

Duratec 1.6 Ti-VCT engine gasoline, four-stroke, four-cylinder, inline, sixteenthly patched, with two camshafts. Location in the engine compartment transverse. The order of the cylinders: 1-3-4-2, counting - from pulley drive auxiliary units.

The power system is a phased distributed fuel injection (Euro-5 toxicity norms). The engine with a gearbox and clutch form a power unit - a single unit fixed in the engine compartment on three elastic rubber-metal supports. The right support is attached to the bracket located on the right wall of the cylinder block, and the left and rear to the gearbox crankcases.

On the right of the engine (along the movement of the car) there are: the drive of the gas distribution mechanism (gear strap); coolant pump drive, generator and pump hydraulic pump (polyclinite belt); air conditioning compressor drive (polyclinite belt); oil pump.
On the left side are: the ignition coil, the outlet of the cooling system and the coolant temperature sensor.

Front: inlet pipe with throttle knot, fuel ramp with nozzles, oil filter, oil level index, generator, starter, power steering pump, air conditioner compressor, thermostat, crankshaft position sensors, detonation and insufficient oil pressure.
Rear: Catalytic collector of the exhaust gas release system, phase sensor. From above: spark plugs.

Ford Focus Cylinders Block 3 1.6 liters Mold from aluminum alloy using the Open-Deck method with free-standing (in the upper part of the block) the sleeves of the "wet" type. At the bottom of the cylinder block, the crankshaft supports are located five beds of the editor shaft bearings with a common slab (removable lid), which is attached to the tenth bolt block.

In the block, the main part (except the pistons and connecting rods of course) is the crankshaft made of high-strength cast iron, with five root and four rocker cakes. The shaft is equipped with eight counterweights executed on the continuation of its "cheeks". Counterweights are intended to balance the strengths and moments of inertia arising from the movement of the crank-connecting mechanism during engine operation. Inserts of the root and connecting rod bearings of the crankshaft steel, thin-walled, with antifriction coating.

The root and connecting rod crankshaft cranks are connected by the channels drilled in the body of the shaft, which serve not only for the supply motor oil From rooted to connecting rod bearings, but also for centrifugal oil purification from solid particles and deposits when the shaft is rotated. At the front end (sock) of the crankshaft is set: the gear pulley of the drive of the gas distribution mechanism (TRM) and the pulley of the drive of the auxiliary aggregates.

Ford Focus Engine Cylinder Cylinder Head 3 1.6 liters.

The head of the DURATEC 1.6 Ti-VCT unit is made of aluminum alloy. The drive of the camshaft is a gear strap from the crankshaft pulley. The automatic tensioning device provides the desired belt tension during operation.

The valves in the cylinder head are located in two rows, V-shaped, two intake and two exhaust valves for each cylinder. Valves are powered by cams distribution Vala through cylindrical pushers. Eight cams are made on the shaft - the adjacent pair of cams simultaneously controls two valves (intake or outcomes) of each cylinder. Supports (bearings) of distribution shafts (five supports for each shaft) are detachable. Holes in supports are processed assembly with covers.

Oil pump engine Ford Focus 3 1.6 liters.

Engine lubrication - combined. Under pressure, the oil is supplied to the native and connecting rod bearing of the crankshaft, pairs of "Support - neck of the camshaft". The pressure in the system creates an oil pump with internal engagement gears and reduction valve. Oil pump is attached to the cylinder block on the right. The leading pump gear is installed on a crankshaft sock lying. The pump through the oil worker takes oil from the crankcase pallet and through the oil filter supplies it to the main line of the cylinder block, from which the oil channels deploy to the root bearing of the crankshaft and the oil supply channels to the cylinder block bearings of the cylinder head.

Driver motor ford focus 3 1.6 liters.

Drive gas distribution mechanism Focus 3 1.6 belt. In the event of a breakdown of the timing belt, the gnet of the valve, so the replacement must be made strictly according to the regulation of the manufacturer's plant. The singularity of the engine with the shift system of gas distribution can be considered the presence of executive mechanisms for changing the phases fixed on the camshaft pulleys. In the case of replacing the timing belt, not only the camshafts, but also executive mechanisms for changing phases with special devices, must be firmly fixed. As in the photo just below.

Previously, all atmospheric gasoline 1.6 liter motors for Focus 3 were brought from the British Ford Motor Company Bridgend Engine plant. But since April 2016, all Ford Focus put Russian engines collected in Elabuga. From October 2015 with Russian engines collect Fiesta, and from January 2016 ecoSport crossover Also received a domestic 1.6 liter power unit Ford.

It will be about the car whose popularity in Russia has passed all the steps of fame. And indeed it is. For all the years of existence, in the domestic market, Ford Focus overcame 800 thousand cars soldAt the same time, the car itself has undergone 3 body generations and several restyings.

Today, not behind the threshold, already the fourth generation of focus (expected in 2019). But the level of attractiveness, to a truly popular car, Russians gradually begins to cool.

Based on sales analysis, in the last 10 years, it is safe to say that all peak popularity, it was on the second generation of the car, namely at the turn of 2006-2009. At that time, the global economic crisis came ...

The appearance of the third generation, for the first time happened in early 2010, and the start of active sales in the Russian Federation began slightly more than a year. New series It was built on the platform of the younger fellow, and its design was slightly upgraded, improved the rear independent suspension and subframes. It is also worth noting that now the automaker has refused to release cars in the body of the hatchback with three doors and a coupe-convertible.

To date, the domestic consumer is available gamma from three main power units. In the standard, the gasoline engine of 1.6 liters with a capacity of 105 hp, which can work in a pair, both with a 5-step MCPP and with 6 high-speed automatic transparents.

Separately, I want to mention the motor, which is rarely found in the market and is established exclusively on hatchback. Gasoline atmospheric 1.6 l. 85 hp, performing its work only in a pair with "mechanics". Single economy option is available only in the lowest configuration.

Middle version in the line of power plants belongs petrol aggregate 1.6 liters, with a capacity of 125 hp and torque in 159 N.M. This engine, it is considered the most popular Among domestic motorists and apparently the best in the line. It has good and inhibitory dynamics, not high fuel consumption and greater maintainability, compared with a powerful turbine analogue 1.5 ECOBOOST.

The top gasoline engine with turbocharged, the EcoBoost family, a working volume of 1.5 liters, issues a power of 150 horses and torque in 240 N.M. According to the manufacturer, this unit, created specifically for Russian conditions. Its features are considered, consumption of 92 gasoline and a quick heater in winter time. By car, it is applied only with 6 high-speed automatic transmission.

Concerning diesel engines, Officially, they are not supplied to Russia, although in other countries, their sales occupy a lion's share. If you are offered a fulfillment with a diesel engine, most likely this car was imported from abroad.

Ford Focus 3 became better or worse

What are the pros and positive parties

1. Suspension. Compared with the previous series, the design of the chassis was finalized and upgraded. Settings have purchased more comfortable notes. Now, small pits and cracks in the asphalt are practically not tangible. In front, everything is also used McPherson, and behind the traditional multi-dimension. This tandem, more than once won in stability and manageability from "semi-independent". By the way, at an explicit rival focus - Skoda Octavia 3, in the lower equipment, a ordinary beam goes from behind.

2. Salon space. The quality of the finishes in the new generation, has grown, almost two heads, compared with the predecessor. The central panel is made of soft to the touch of plastic, the steering wheel has become much more convenient and has recesses for fingers, and the ergonomics as a whole acquired a sporty character. Front passenger chairs, as if borrowed from eminent sports cars, and side and lumbar support, as if embrace the driver. In general, it is worth noting that the interior design, received a certain space theme, a little familiar to us on some American cars, General Motors Corporation. But note that nothing is like that, none of German, no Asian or Japanese competitors.

3. Noise isolation. In the Ford Focus 3 salon, it became significantly quieter. Owners of previous two generations, know no obstacle, as can irritate the roar of a motor and whistle wind. Now the situation has changed for the better. But in order to feel in the cabin, all the delights of silence and tranquility, it is necessary to take a car in the configuration in richer. (The level of noise insulation depends on the configuration)

4. Many auxiliary systems. A whole breakthrough in this area belongs to the concern Ford. In basic equipment, cars are already supplied with electronic course stability systems, anti-breaking, emergency braking assistance, start touching, as well as ABS and EBD. Such a "bouquet" in the standard package, few of the competitors boasts. As for the top versions, then the American is trying to be ahead of the planet all. Here is the innovative parking feature for parking, and the automatic deceleration system, and monitoring the blind zones, and the tire pressure tracking system, as well as cruise control with the speed limit control option.

5. Reliable motors. From a long time, the Ford Focus slogan sounded like: "Quality changes everything!". And this is true. If somewhere and it was possible to save on the car, so it is definitely not on its engine. All focus motors, have a good, unpretentious and high resource. These indicators, in other times, were repeatedly confirmed on commercial transport, cars of special services and a taxi.

Price, quality and reliability ratio

A little about minuses and disadvantages

With large external dimensions, inside the cabin is quite closely, especially rear passengers. In front of the front, the place eats a large central panel and anatomical chairs. At some point it seems that everything is specifically done for better functionality and convenience. In some extent, it really is so, yes, that's just surplus free spaceUnfortunately dubbed. Places for foot rear passengers It is more extremely low (the shortest wheelbase is affected in the classroom), and the roof slide, to put on the head not even high people. Perhaps this is one of the most large flaws Machines, "externally big, inside close." The leader of the niche, no one year here is recognized as Skoda Octavia, since Mazda 3 or Kia Cyid is also significantly inferior.

Not a high clearance, it can be an extremely pleasant factor for lovers of trips to nature or fishing. At the start of the sales ground clearance There were only 14 centimeters, and after some time, for Russia it was increased to 16.5 cm. Cars fitted from Europe is usually slightly lower.

Front hub bearings, in conditions of bad roads, more than 50 thousand km are rarely taped., And with an inaccier driving manner and is less. The element of the "American", apparently, city highways with a good coating and any suit.

Weak rear shock absorber, the average resource of which, less than the front almost 2 times. Therefore, the full loading of the car's feed is extremely not desirable, and there is no particular place in the trunk.

The windshield is easy to crack and chopped from stones. In case the heated glass is installed, it is additives to everything, still has a tendency to cracks from overheating in winter.

The first "tricks" of the third generation came up from the conveyor not so long ago, or rather in 2011, so evaluate the body of Ford Focus from the point of view of its corrosion resistance so far enough and make the appropriate conclusions about whether it is worth buying the focus of the third generation, while early. Even on the oldest copies, if they did not have time to visit a serious accident, the spots of rust will not be able to see. But what kind of paintwork in Ford Focus III. Pretty weak, you can state it now. Find small scratches and chips on most cars will be able to easily. In addition, many Focus suffer from anterior optics. On cars from the first parties there were poorly fitted doors. Fortunately, the manufacturer very quickly coped with this problem, but also to choose a focus for buying because it is necessary to carefully.

Small buildings of the assembly can be seen inside the car. Most often, Focus owners complain about uneven gaps between plastic details in the cabin. Another typical complaint is a script of plastic and "crickets", which most often come to the magnetic area and the place of securing the seat belt on the middle rack. Otherwise, inside the "third" Ford Focus rather pleases its buyers in the secondary market.

1.6 liter engine with a capacity of 85 horsepower for a sufficiently large car is frankly weak and therefore dynamics to buy Ford focus with such an engine, rightly speaking, not worth it. Acquisition of the used car with such a power unit is unlikely to be justified. Yes, and the same in volume 105-strong engine will not make from Focus fast car. Although in terms of reliability, as well as the 125-strong version, it is good. While the owners complain except that the characteristic dictum, which increases when heating. Be afraid when buying, however, it is not worth it. Funny noise motorists are no more than a feature of the injectors. But with unsustainable work, troops and insufficient charge after a cold start, it will not work out. All these problems - and they were characterized for cars, which were released at the end of 2011 - managed to successfully solve by reprogramming the power unit control module. There are no big complaints and to a two-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 150 horsepower. He, like smaller engines, works with a characteristic trottle, but does not deliver problems. Is that fuel will have to use exclusively high quality. However, in any case, lovers save should not buy a two-liter version of the focus.


But to the gearbox boxes, which were installed on the Ford Focus of the third generation, complaints a little more. In "Mechanics", for example, after a run, 10 thousand kilometers could begin to leak the seal of the right half. And all because of the incomplete planting of the gland on the conveyor, which resulted in damage to its edge. Over time, the problem was certainly solved, but an unpleasant precipitate for Focus owners with a manual gearbox remained. There are complaints and to transmissions with dual clutch PowerShift. With a long movement in the sloppy disinfect, it begins to switch transmissions with noticeable jerks. Yes, and from the point of view of reliability, PowerShift loses to traditional "automata". The first serious problems can begin after 100,000 mileage kilometers. So, when buying a Focus with this gearbox, it is impossible to refuse diagnostics in any way.

The third generation FOCUS FOCUS suspension has proven itself quite reliable. Most owners still have to be replaced by its consumables. However, it will not be possible to call it absolutely trouble-free at all desire. And all because with the onset of frost, the Focus suspension begins to publish foreign sounds. Most often, unpleasant creaking creates stabilizer bushings.

Not without problems and in the steering control. And the problems are quite serious. After 7-10 thousand kilometers after 7-10 thousand kilometers, many owners of the third Focus had to face the back of the steering thrust and tapping the steering rack. Most often, the rail was changed under warranty, but after replacing through the same 10 thousand kilometers, the stuffs appeared again. And everything would be nothing, but the owners of the used Ford Focus rake will have to be changed no longer under warranty, but for their money. And cheap this pleasure you won't call. And besides the steering rack of trouble, there is enough. Problems with the power steering on Focus arise quite often.


It turns out that it was not for nothing that the Ford Focus of the third generation by our car enthusiasts was adopted quite restrained, and paying their attention more on the previous one - the second generation of the car. There are no problems with him and not a huge amount, but enough. But after all, there are no competitors with exemplary reliability. So not everything is so bad. If you manage to find the "third" Ford Focus in good condition, then it is quite worth buying, but it is better to choose and inspect the car as carefully as possible.

Verdict

Weak / problem places:

  • Weak straight-coloring coating subject to scratches and chips.
  • Fogging front optics.
  • Poor fitted doors on the Early Party models.
  • Poorly adjusted gaps in plastic inside the cabin.
  • Screenshots and "crickets" in the cabin.
  • Weak 1.6 liter engines.
  • Feeding the right semi-axis.
  • Broke gearbox with dual clutch PowerShift.
  • Lufts Steering thrust and knocks in the steering rake.

Strong / Reliable Parties:

  • Modern interior of the cabin.
  • Reliable engines.
  • Reliable suspension.

Ford Focus 3 in the Sedan version presented in the winter of 2014 in Geneva. It almost immediately became clear that the cars would affect their restyling. The car has changed his headlights, bumper. The third generation of this car, which is undoubtedly popular in Russian Federation, appeared in 2011, but over the years lost the leading places according to the plan of implementation. Someone may seem that the company is a bit late with the update. The whole range of Ford.

Exterior

The concept of the design appearance of the third family of focus is based on the iOSIS Max concept car, however, the sedanov version has become longer, however, and lower than the predecessor. The outline of the Ford Focus Machine 3 before the update had dynamic streamlined forms, and after the update the car became much more serious, even a little viewed similarity to the known brand.

Ford Focus 3 has matured and matured. The front part was almost completely restyled, perfectly harmonizes with other innovations from the company, fitting on his family, the appearance is made on one corporate lecture. The design of the front optical lighting system was revised, which now looks even narrower.

The radiator lattice became brighter, and was performed in a familiar for all style. Thin headlights, protruding hood - all this emphasizes the overall expressiveness of the exterior of the car. The front bumper acquired an improved relief, which gives a certain spirit of sports. A wide air intake placed in the bumper.

there is fog lightswho received a trapezoidal shape and black edging. Thanks to restyling, the appearance of Ford Focus 3 really became more recent. The stern part did not fit so much change in itself, except that the lights have changed. On the lid. luggage compartment A small shape spoiler was placed.

By the way, the stop signals began to cover the 3/4 of the entire stern part of the car. And the created 3rd stop signal, which is set up standard above the oval flailbox, adds recognizable features. The bumper also improved its embossed parts, and hints at sportiness and style.

It becomes clearly clear that the updated variation of the focus of the 3rd family looks much more tastier and more attractive than past models. Perhaps it will help return the company with their leading positions, time will show.

Moreover, the American Novik acquired a special sports package, where there is a 17-inch two-color wheels and submissive gear switches, which will go in the car only with the automatic box. Now the list of color for painting joined new options, such as soft blue.

Despite the fact that Ford Focus Sedan belongs to the niche of the budget vehicles (although the 3rd family has grown in price seriously), but the model has good quality, beautiful design solutions outside and inside. Engineers have made a large number of the freshest electronic features, as well as updated electronics.

If to say in general, the body design came out excellent. Looking at him, you realize that Ford Focus 2017 is estimated in a good penny, but in reality everything is wrong. Another main advantage of such a body can be called its aerodynamic component, because the windshield is at the lowest level.

Due to this, while driving at high speed inside Ford Focus Hatchback such noise. This was achieved by excellent noise insulation Department of the power unit, the bottom and arches of the wheels. All body versions Ford Focus 3 have a carrying all-metal welded structure, where there are hinged front wings, doors, hood and lid of the luggage compartment. Lobovaya I. rear glass are absorbed.

From Plant Cars Ford Focus 2017, mostly go with 16 inch wheel disksHowever, it is possible to replace them with 17-inch, and an 18-inch rollers can be put as tuning focus. A whole list of cars has the same front part and does not matter at all, which body is chosen by you, they all remain the same.

Lead headlamps in their structure resemble the almond nut. Self best models The car has LED and xenon lamps that shine like daylight. When you compare Ford Focus 3 hatchback or sedan (it does not have a strong value) with the second generation, clearly notice that the model is highlighted in special sophistication.

After a quick inspection, a feeling is created that Ford Focus 2017 can be attributed to an elite class. The design composition was able to achieve a similar effect with the help of the arches of the wheels and the body, which received anti-collar and smooth shapes with elongated headlights.

Ford Focus 3 Universal - exactly the same hatchback, which only slightly slightly stretched back. Therefore, their feed parts are very similar.

Interior

The interior has always been not an advantage of Ford Focus. Even after the transition to the 3rd family, it did not allow to solve most of the problems. Restyling did not help. Of course, the interior look more beautiful and elegant. The finish now has become more refined and rich, however, the interior in ergonomics did not change anything. You won't call him very comfortable and spacious.

The renewed salon received the presence of a new central console with a smaller load of elements of various car adjustments. A pen manual brakes It is now much more convenient. Also worked on noise insulation, a new three-spoke steering wheel and a new multimedia system that can support the voice control function.


Interior Ford Focus 3

A quiet and comfortable ride is provided by using thicker and modern insulating materials that were used in the floor, side windows and separation of the power unit. Dashboard And the doors were finished with matte chromium, as well as a new switchgear.

The company decided to leave the already existing kinetic design. The "board" of the devices has illuminated with pleasant blue tones. She places the sensor speed \u200b\u200bregime and sensor for the number of engine speed. Between them, there was a display that displays all the necessary information from the side computer Ford Focus Restyling.


Dashboard

The main control unit received already known stylistics with an elongated rounded form. In addition, there is a touchscreen to configure the air conditioner and the multimedia system.

Between gadgets and technical innovations that were installed on Ford Focus 3 in base modification, now there is a rear camera that functions with a 4.2-inch screen (or 8 inches - comes with MYFORD Touch machines), updated Sync AppLink information and entertainment systems, MyKey security features and other necessary features that allow much Easy car management.

The interior was covered with an atlas of black. All controls were placed intuitively and it is easy to reach them, without being distracted by car management. On the sides of the screen of the multimedia system, the air ducts of the vertical type were found.


Multifunctional screen

It's nice that the steering wheel has become significantly more convenient and now it can be adjusted in two planes.

Driving seat can be adjusted longitudinally, tilting the backrest and height, and the passenger's chair sitting in front can also be adjusted longitudinally and tilting the back. Depends on the choice of configuration whether vehicle have a lumbar driver's chair, adjustment of the lumbar backrest for the passenger seated and the electric drive of the driver's seat.

Both on the front and on rear seats There are height adjustable head restraints. The back of the rear armchair can be thrown back in parts in the 40/60 ratio. The rear row is perfect for two people, Troim, will not be so comfortable as two. It is also nice that in the cabin there is a large number of small pockets and offices for different trifles.






The steering wheel has a heating function. For a quieter ride, it was decided to install other shock absorbers that improve comfort from a quiet ride. The luggage compartment even after the update and the assignment of 3 generations in the amount did not change - the sedan everything also has 372 liters of useful space.

If you take a car Ford Focus Salon, then it is almost the same as the other versions of the body. But here there is a little more free space for the second row of seats, so the passengers will be able to settle more comfortably.

In addition to all, Ford Focus station wagon has a more compatible luggage compartment capable of providing 476 liters of useful space in a regular position. If necessary, the seats of 2 rows can be folded, which will increase the useful volume to an impressive 1,502 liters.

Specifications

Force aggregate

In the Russian Federation, the third series of the Sedanov version of the Ford Focus will be available with 3 engine variants. All power units operate on gasoline, possess 4 rows of cylinders, are performed from aluminum and refer to the Duratec family. Motors meet the norms of the ecological European standard EURO-5.

Most weak Engine It has a volume of 1.6 liters and has a 16-valve Type of DOHC type, distributed fuel injection and a system of independent change of the gas distribution phase. Such a power unit issues about 105 horsepower, which are available at 6000 revolutions per minute.

Next is the engine with a volume of 1.6 liters, which develops power up to 125 horse forces. The strongest is represented by the power unit, the volume of which is 2.0 liters and which also has a distributed injection, 16-valve gas distribution mechanism DOHC and a system of changing the phase distribution. Its power is 150 horsepower.

New engine for updated sedan There will be a motor with a volume of 1.5 liters of EcoBoost, outstanding 150 horses. A similar power unit was adapted under russian conditions Works, so you can confidently pour the 92nd.

Transmission

Synchronized 1.6-liter 105-strong engine with 5-speed mechanical or 6-speed robotic box PowerShift shift gear, it is put on 5. With a manual box, the sedan is gaining the first hundred for 12.4 seconds. And develops the limit speed to 189 km / h.

A robotic box allows you to reach a mark of 100 km / h for 13.2 seconds, and limit speed at 186 km / h. If we talk about fuel consumption, then mechanical box It is the leader here - in the combined mode, the indicator remains at 6.0 liters (with a robot 6.4 l).


Transmission

Together with the younger brother, a 125-strong unit work with a 5-speed manual box or robotic. On the mechanics, the motor allows you to achieve the first hundred exactly in 11 seconds and accelerates the car to a mark of 198 km / h. With a robot, the indicators are slightly less - 11.8 seconds. - So much is necessary to achieve a mark of 100 km / h, and the maximum speed is 195 km / h.

The gearbox selection for the top engine is not provided, so it goes only with a robotic PowerShift, which allows you to achieve the first hundred for only 9.2 seconds, providing maximum speed at 204 km / h. In addition to its dynamism, the engine is characterized by excellent cost-effective qualities - its consumption is the same 6.4 liters as the weakest motor.

The new 1.5-liter 150-strong "engine" EcoBoost will be synchronized with a robotic gearbox. To the value of 100 km / h, the car will drive 9.3 seconds, and the maximum speed will be at the level of 210 km / h. 6.7 liters per 100 km - this expense will be in combination mode. The drive, as was before - the front.

Suspension

The suspension was reconfigured towards improving the smoothness of the course. The car also has independent suspension McPherson ahead, and the independent multi-dimensional suspension is installed behind.

Steering

As a steering mechanism, a circuit type is used and is complemented by an electric amplifier. Work was carried out on the reconfiguration of the steering wheel amplifier, which is now more informative, replaced almost all bushings and silent blocks to more enduring.

Brake system

All wheels applied disk brake system, moreover, front discs are ventilated.

Configuration and prices

Ford Focus 3 after the update will be offered in the market of the Russian Federation in 2 configurations: Sync Edition and Titanium. Two performances total will provide 7 modifications where the car will be available in different versions With a list of three motors and three gearboxes.

The basic configuration of the Sync Edition includes a large number of options and an extended package of paid functions - alarm, security, urban mode, winter and comfortable. Alarm has a penetration sensor inward. The security package has side airbags and window curtains with alarm.

In the city package included rear parking sensors and electronic folding mirrors. In the winter package will include electrical heating of fibermearmers and front glass, heated steering and leather trim. Comfortable package has climate control and light and rain sensors.

The Titanium modification has paid options that are much more. For example, there can be an "technology" package, where there is a cruise control, pressure sensor in wheels. Taking into account the acceptable snap-in modification, the services packages may not be useful.

Basic equipment includes:

  • 16-inch steel discs and full-size spare parts;
  • Halogen optics;
  • Fog headlights;
  • ESP, HLA;
  • Front airbag pairs;
  • Flightcomputer;
  • Fabric interior;
  • Leather steering wheel;
  • Front electric windows;
  • Functions of heating of front glass and front seats;
  • Side mirrors with electrical adjustment and heated.

The driver's seat can be mechanically adjusted in height, adjust the height and departure the steering column, there is an audio system for 6 speakers, immobilizer and central locking. The cheapest equipment 1.6 (105 horses) Ambiente MT is estimated from 981,000 rubles.

The same top will cost from 1,206,000 rubles - for a 1.5-liter 150-strong engine and automatic 6-speed gearbox.

When January 2009 came, during the North American car show, Ford has provided designed to the Union with a large supplier of Magna International auto elements, a full-fledged BEV electric car. The test model of the prototype was presented in the body of the Ford Focus as a carrier of the installations.

Electric car has a full-fledged electric engine, installed on the new Global Base of Ford Series S. Selling versions started in North America with a likely sales chance on European and Asian car markets. The model moved using an electric motor and lithium-ion battery.

For one night charging, cars could drive approximately 80 miles. The American company planned that before the electrocar will be sold, the maximum stock will be able to increase 100 miles to the mark. This battery has seven modules of 17 lithium-ion cells, which give 23 kW / h of energy.

They were decided to locate in the luggage department and under the armchairs. Ford Focus Electric Charged from a regular 220V or 110V network outlet. To fully charge the batteries, it was required 6 or 12 hours (depending on which network socket). The engine compartment had an mounted 100-kilowatte electric motor with a chassis permanent magnetwhich works on a three-phase alternating current coming from the battery through the inverter.

All other elements were located, like a standard machine. Since June 2009, information has appeared that a full-fledged Ford Focus Focus will begin to produce on the Michigan factory. Since 2011, sales of cars in the United States of America and Canada will begin.

In September 2009, the car was shown on the Frankfurt exhibition as a concept car already in the bodies of European. The model could move on one charge to 120 kilometers, and the maximum speed was at the level of 137 km / h. To fully charge the battery required from 6 to 8 hours (referred to the network 230 and 210 V).


Charging Ford Focus Electric

In winter, in Cologne, General Motors leadership said that building a car in America would pass with the name Focus Electric. In the spring of 2010, the company announced the launch of the production of an electric car in 2012. Suppressed lithium-ion batteries for Auto COMPACT POWER INC., which is a branch of the LG Chem group.

It was her who was previously elected in GM Corporation for Chevrolet Volt. Initially edition rechargeable batteries To be held in Korea with sewnings in the United States of America, and later release will begin in the city of Michigan (USA). Release Ford Focus Electric Started from December 14, 2011.

Preparation of a new Ford Focus 4 brought to "Final Accord" - the main work of the development department ended, so at the moment there is a car junk. Journalists managed to move on the road prototype versions in camouflage. Based on the English magazine AutoCar, the newly minted Ford Focus 4 2018 will be presented in the first part of 2018, however, a small information about the car is already known today.

The new Ford Focus plan to build on the famous "cart" Global C, which lies at the base of the 2nd and 3rd version. The vehicle will not be changed almost will not be changed in size, but the base of the wheels will grow about 5 cm. Given this moment, it is not difficult to conclude that it will significantly increase the space for the passengers sitting from behind.


According to these parameters, the current generation is seriously played to many rivals and even some car class B +! Given all this, the American will weigh less than 50 kilograms. Together with the body changed windshield and a gasoline tank hatch. This was achieved by using the latest materials during the body's production. The newest materials have become not only less weighing, but also not losing in rigidity.

The most important body decision in European countries remains the 5-door hatchback, but they plan to sell models in the body of the sedan, and the wagon. In addition, a "off-road" version of Active can be released, having body lining from plastic and slightly added to the height of the clearance.

No one excludes that cars fourth generation Will go with a all-wheel drive system - then the transmission will go with one-platform - crossover. The European list of power units will be slightly reduced - there will no longer be a basic atmospheric 1.6-liter 85-strong engine. As a standard motor will be a turbocharged 3-cylinder 1.0 ECOBOOST, but the number of possible forcing performances will grow from 2 to 3 (100, 125 and 139 horsepower).

Also present a gasoline ecooboost with a volume of 1 to 2.3 liters. It is represented by a four-cylinder "engine", developing up to 180 "horses". We did not forget to indicate the presence of gasoline turbocharged 1.5 and 2.0-liter motors. Among the "diesel engines" remains the only 1.5-liter TDCI, which is currently produced in options at 95, 105 and 120 "horses". Two-liter motorProbably plan to be installed only on the "charged" version of ST. In addition to everything, the brand will retain a full-fledged electric car.

As synchronization with motors, there is a 5-speed manual gearbox or automatic transmission with 6 speeds equipped with a proprietary double adhesion of Power SHIFT. It is rumored and that Ford Focus 4 generation will receive a new 9-speed "automatic".

Drawing attention to the spy photo of the interior, it can be noted that the form of the front panel is now more laconic and looks like a new one. It is planned that it will affect the spaciousness inside the hatchback, since the current model takes a lot of space set by a large panel.

AUTOCAR employees led to the statement of one of the working designer Ford Group, which recognized that with the front panel 3 focus generations And 6 generations of Fiesta, they clearly moved. Definitely express about the exterior of the Ford Focus 4 generation is not easy, however, judging by the photos, it becomes clear that the rear racks of the car no longer possess small windows, and the lamps installed from the back will go to the luggage compartment, which has never been peculiar to the model .

Considering the spirit of fashion and requests for focus generation fans, automotive ford. Delivered a lot of time for the internal decoration of your own car. As a basis for the election of high-quality material, there was a considerable experience of rivals from Europe. Distinguishes the interior of the future generation Care from excessive severity.

Given all this company plans to carry out a full-fledged elaboration of the multimedia system in the form of interface design and increasing speed. Employees want to adapt the multimedia system with the work of Applecar and Androidauto. No one excludes the likelihood of a digital "board" of the devices. Machines want to equip the heating function rear seatsthat clearly indicates the adaptation to the Russian Winter.

Tuning Ford Focus includes the mounting of special elements that help to have a positive effect on the exterior and the inside of the machine. Due to some changes, it is possible to increase aerodynamic parameters. The owner can even make the appearance of a real sports rally machine, collect a maneuverable car that will be ready for an extreme challenge.

American auto Ford. Focus station wagon is not so often tuning, like his "counterparts" in the face of the sedan and hatchback. Some establish unique bundles in the body of the machine that make the exterior more stylish. With a similar element, the car can be found as before, but it will look more effectively.

Included, you can usually find a list of bumpers, thresholds, there is also a sports anti-carving of Aero dynamic characteristics Car and its dynamic. Thanks to a well-thought-out front skirm, you can configure the air flow, and with the front spoiler, the machine will not only be original, but together with a balanced strength will provide a rational ratio of the pressure force to the ground, it will reduce the production of tires and consumption of gasoline on the road.

Do not forget about the wiring, which will add a more sporty image and help create an image racing car. Supplements the appearance of the Ford Focus 3 generation installation of the rear bumper-diffuser, which removes the incident air flow from the machine. In addition, you can put a spoiler, pressing the vehicle to the roadbed, which will create additional maneuverability.

Do not forget to install thresholds, smoothly connecting with wheel archesthat only positively affect the aerodynamic characteristics. Thanks to the installation of thresholds, it will be possible to create an unusual appearance, distinguishing in the city stream of cars. The presence of massive front bumper And the air intake, interesting design notes and the "fog lifting" will allow the owner of the Ford Focus wagon (as well as in the body of Sedan and Hatchback) emphasize its status and worldview.

For the bodice version of the sedan, you can install a spoiler on rear bumper Auto. Using smooth bends running along the entire length of the anti-therch, it is possible to get an acceptable clamping force of the rear axle, while spending the minimum means for aerodynamic characteristics. The sedan will become obedient and more pleasant while driving. You can also emphasize the tuning Ford Focus with cilias on the headlights, allowing the machine to stand out among other participants in the movement.

In addition, you can get improved improved running lights with bright LED lights, which are installed without problems in the bumper of the sedan. They possess an interesting bright blue, green or pink tint. In Tuning Ford Focus, the station wagon can be attributed to the installation of the front spoiler, the 3-rib diffuser of the front bumper, as well as overlays on the thresholds. There is an opportunity to put the pipe on exhaust system From chromium and "rollers" from a light alloy with a stylish design.

The latter received a diameter of 17 to 20 inches. It is envisaged to install a low suspension and sports exhaust. To increase the power of the "engine" from 150 to 168 "Horses" you need to install a chip. All work is carried out using a diagnostic opening, without disassembled the control unit.

You can also increase the torque from 202 to 230 nm. But if the car has automatic transmissionIn order to improve the characteristics of its power unit, you need to flash automation. Then the failure in the acceleration will go to the past, the dynamic characteristics of the "American" will increase, and it will be possible to reduce gasoline consumption.

Service

It is not difficult to guess that it is easier to change in material plan consumables and carry out scheduled checks own forces. It's not so hard and price maintenance Depends only on the cost of the details. According to the Ford Focus Manual 3 Universal (here refers to the body sedan and hatchback), it is necessary to carry out regulated maintenance, only at the station, despite the fact that the price of such services is rather rather large.

It is a pity, but in the rear sofa, three passengers will not be so comfortable, but for two places more than enough.

The luggage compartment of the updated sedan is left too, unfortunately, the same thing is good. Pleased rich equipment even in basic configuration, as well as a large number of modifications themselves. All power units have sufficient power to feel confident on the road and under overtakers. Also worth separately mentioning the efficiency of all engines, so this car Good suitable for ride in the city.

The company took care of security, paying enough attention to it. Various systems and assistants work perfectly and help the driver when managing the machine. Moreover, the fact that General Motors has provided a full-fledged release electric car, suggests that the Americans are striving to keep up with modern technologies. It also indicates a desire to take care of the ecology of our planet more.

Of course, to a well-known worldwide, Focus Electric is still far both in terms of speakers and in terms of a distance of a trip on one charge. However, employees have already made a significant contribution, and also continue to improve in this matter. Nice that famous american car Ford. Focus does not stand still, but constantly developing and updated. Otherwise it will not work - after all, then you can lose a lot of buyers who will give preference to other cars.

Test Drive

Video Overview

Ford Focus 3 is a machine that has a not very good reputation, but at the same time it is heard. Everyone at least once heard the engineering thought miracle from the American manufacturer. In the territory of Russia and the CIS countries, it is often called "credit-sized", as people who need a simple car for relaxing travels from work and home are most often acquired. Of course, you will not get a big comfort from the management of it, but the price of the device is pleasantly surprising.

All concept ford models Cerestrated on practicality and convenience for owners at low cost. Main types body Focus.: Sedan, hatchback, wagon. The 3rd generation of focus is much improved compared to the second. Most of all this is due to the use of systems:

  • Help with parallel parking;
  • Recognition of road signs;
  • Help when starting from place;
  • Observation of the driver overwork;
  • Automatic long-term control;
  • Torque control;
  • "City Safety" (preventing collisions, which works only at low speed);
  • WARNING THE NEXT OF MOTECT STAID;
  • Informing about the presence of a car in the "blind" zone.

In general, the car purchased more electrical filling. The six-speed PowerShift gearbox with two dry clutches was also introduced. Many changes touched the line of engines.

This model has sports modification (ST), as well as an electric motor version (Focus Electric).

According to European standards, this car is able to protect the driver and passengers from almost any collisions. If we talk about the safety of a car in numbers, then the adult passenger is being protected by 92%, the child is 82%, a pedestrian by 72%, active security Machines are estimated at 71%, which in the aggregate gives Focus 3 5 of 5 stars on the systemEuro. NCAP.

Weak places Ford Focus 3:

  • Engine;
  • Transmission;
  • Steering;
  • Body;
  • Chassis;
  • Electrician;
  • Assembly.

We will discern more:

Engine.

In general, Focus engines 3 are quite reliable, if you do not forget to produce scheduled maintenance (on time to change the oil, filters, etc.). The exception is only an engine at 1.6 liters, which has one problem - when cold starts it starts troy. Aggravates the sensor malfunction situation idle move, because of which the thrust often disappears. Sometimes it happens that the engine because of this problem begins to simply blah. The reason for this is the formation of a car in the combustion chamber.

Of course, the company could not leave it without attention, and they quickly corrected this mistake by releasing the new engine firmware called "PCM". Owners who have established a new management module confirmed that it really helps and the problem with the launch of the motor and turnover disappears.

Transmission.

PowerShift is a transmission, which is the pride of owners of Fords. But alas, and she has its own minuses. If you often still stand on such a box in traffic jams, you can notice the appearance of "pins" and twignee at the start, which after it may change to the metal grinding when switching speed and strong shocks when overclocking

Of course, the company did not forget about this problem and decided it. Just as with the engine, they released the module of the firmware of the control unit, which has yet reached the European owners, and Russia's residents have to ride so much.

Naturally, the mechanical gearbox is reliable than automatic (with the experienced owner), but at the same time, the manual transmission has a little marriage. This marriage is already from the factory and is that due to the features of the design of the box, the heap edge is damaged before hitting the bracket, after which the gland that is installed is not tight, begins to break and flow. The right side of the right gland is most of all and you need to constantly follow it. If you bought new carThis problem will overtake you in 4000-10000 km. Run.

Steering.

- EPS electric power.

When driving, the steering wheel begins to hear, from which at high speed it can lead to unpleasant consequences. If the car is drunk and after some time you start, then the problem will pass.

All these flaws occur due to an electric power engine. A big minus is that the motor comes assembled with the steering rack, so when replacing it is necessary to change the entire rail, and this is not very cheap.

It happens another problem at which the car demoloses in the side. It also arises from the marriage of the electric powerful and is solved by updating the firmware.

Steering Reika

The steering rail, even in new copies, has one sore. The problem occurs on runs from 3,000 to 7000 km., And lies in the presence of a characteristic low-speed knock. All this is due to the features of the design of this mechanism.

The trouble is that Ford does not deal with this problem and is not looking for a solution. Therefore, only the replacement will help you, but often it does not treat cars.

Chassis.

What Ford Focus of the 3rd Generation boasts, then this is exactly its suspension. But even for such a chassis, like Ford is "Kosyaki". They begin to appear in winter, which is associated with creak from the bushings of stabilizers. Also, while driving around the uneven road, a strange knock begins to appear under the hood, the reason for which is not known to appear.

Electrician.

There is a problem in the rain sensor. It often happens that the sensor does not work on time, and when there is no - it can turn on spontaneously. Also there are problems and heated side mirrors.

In the car suffers from the salon, plastic, itself, not very high quality. Cracks are most in the area of \u200b\u200bthe seat belt, the district of the radio, the controllers of the blower and the framework of the salon mirror of the rear view. It is often found to rattle the door plastic even at the slightest speed.

Typical deficiencies of Ford Focus 3rd Generation:

  1. The doors are fitted under the body of the car not very high quality, somewhere the gaps are very large, somewhere sticking the corners, etc. Of course, it is still possible to come to terms and it doesn't carry it bad, but there remains an unpleasant precipitate.
  2. Fear of the car headlamp, which is due to the wrong lighting of the road. Also, you will blind other cars that is unsafe. This is especially noticeable if xenon is installed. The problem disappears after replacing plugs with holes (ventilation) in the rear of the headlight.
  3. Daylight lights often flicker, which manifests itself during cold weather and when heating disappears. The company solves this problem to this day.
  4. Of course, it is worth saying about the paintwork, which Focus 3 is not very strong. Over time, while you drive and meet with small pebbles, you will quickly deter paint, and it can go to the point that it will be erased not only to the soil, but also to pure metal.
  5. From the fact that the car does not have under the hood of a special seal, from dirty roads the engine quickly throws mud. To solve this issue, it is simply periodically needed to wash the engine compartment.
  6. Weak windshield, which in cold weather becomes vulnerable to the rapid heating of the cabin, which is why it often gives cracks. It is very unpleasant because it is solved only by a complete glass replacement.
  7. Door locks work poorly.
  8. Fast paint wear (it happens to soil), in the place of contact of the hood and its seals.
  9. Weak thresholds of the car, which leads to rapid corrosion.

Conclusion.

According to the reviews of the owners of this machine, it is possible to make ambiguous conclusions. Some say that this car is one of the best in its class, others, on the contrary, talk about the benefits of its closest "counterpart" (Kia Rio, VW Polo, etc.). In general, you can call the car worthy of attention, although having a very pleasant reputation. For your money, we get a medium, good and inexpensive car for every day. Of course, he has his own cons, but also from other cars they are present, and often even more, although their price, sometimes, much higher than the cost of Focus 3.
