Focus, which means focus, is one of Ford's housekeeping models in Europe. Compared with those models that have evolved for four or five generations, Fox is obviously a junior. It was born in 1998, and only developed to the second generation today. Now, this Ford's main car in Europe has settled in China, which naturally becomes the focus of public attention. Domestic Focus is a new generation of products launched by Changan Ford after Carnival and Mondeo [quote picture]. September 2005 12 was officially launched, and a press conference was held in Shanghai on September 24th. Three domestic Focus models were officially launched, namely 1.8mt core classic model, 1.8at comfortable and fashionable model and 2.0at ghia luxury model. Fox's Duratec-He reverse aluminum alloy engine is made of all-aluminum alloy with reverse design. The maximum power can reach 104kw, and the maximum torque can reach 180n? M(2.0l engine), with vis (Variable Intake System) variable inertia intake device, plastic steel and other long intake manifolds, shows the advantages of agile acceleration, smooth operation, efficient intake effect, low noise and low fuel consumption. Fox's sequential sport shift automatic manual transmission, through the advanced essc electronic synchronous shift control system, realizes fast and accurate shift, taking into account the smooth acceleration of manual shift and the convenience and comfort of automatic shift. Fox rear suspension is a fully independent suspension system of sla control blade, which maintains the maximum contact area between the tire and the ground and gives smooth cornering performance. Double ball joints can effectively eliminate the vibration sound of tires; The rear subframe and rear anti-roll bar with high rigidity show steady, solid, stable and comfortable dynamic performance; With 265mm rear wheel solid disc brake disc, it provides acute and accurate four-wheel braking force. Fox's chassis inherits the excellent chassis design of wrc, adopts the global Ford c 1 shared platform and advanced c3p body structure software, calculates the safest body structure for passengers, and cooperates with the front and rear sub-frames with high rigidity to improve the rigidity and torsion resistance of the whole body structure, which makes Fox perform well in body support, sound insulation barrier and tire control. Fox's cage-type car body has strengthened the structural design and adopted high-strength steel plate material to improve the rigidity of the car body. The front and rear impact buffer zones and the door anti-collision steel beams all adopt the same reinforced structural design. The impact buffer zone can evenly distribute the impact force during collision to the whole body, thus avoiding the passengers in the passenger area from being injured by collision. Focus body welding adopts laser welding technology, and with the detection technology of 65,438+0,000 structural points per second, Leica laser tracker is used to build a nearly integrated body. Fox's nvh (the standard for measuring automobile noise and vibration) has performed well, and has been accurately tested and carefully adjusted by acc (Cologne Automobile Acoustics Testing Center, Germany). Fox passed the collision test certification of Volvo Safety Center, which is recognized as the strictest in the world, and carried out species testing in the authoritative ncap in Europe, and got the best result of five stars.
