I will give you information about new car can be seen in this article,All new this year,the new Focus is a world design that is sold in multiple countries, Ford’s compact Focus offers sportier styling, improved handling, greater fuel economy, a new interior with a lot more high-tech gizmos, and the return with the hatchback bodystyle (last observed here in 2007), also as the new sedan bodystyle.
In contrast to the previous North American Focus which was different to the European Focus, the new Focus is a globe design that's sold in a number of countries - despite the fact that Focuses for North America are still built in Wayne, Michigan. Ford says its design-goal was “to meet the universal needs of worldwide clients although fine-tuning to suit regional preferences.”
At the least component of that “fine-tuning” for the U.S. and Canada includes new safety, communications and entertainment technology, including MyFord Touch screen controls, voice-activated climate and audio controls, Sync hands-free phone and entertainment system, rear-view camera, parking sensors, and Automatic Parking Assist - the latter obtainable for the first time in a There’s also new technologies under the hood where a fully new 2.0-litre DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine with gasoline direct injection and twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) replaces the old Duratec 2.0-litre engine. The new 160-hp engine offers 20 far more horsepower along with a 10 per cent improvement in fuel economy when compared to the previous engine.
As well, a new six-speed “PowerShift” automatic transmission with manual shift mode replaces the old four-speed automatic transmission. A five-speed manual transmission continues to be the standard tranny.
The 2012 Focus sedan is available in 4 trim levels: S ($15,999), SE ($18,999), SEL ($21,499) and Titanium ($24,499) trim. The Focus hatchback comes in 3 trim levels: SE ($19,899), SEL ($22,399) and Titanium ($25,099) - the latter comes having a six-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment. 2012 MSRPs have gone up by about $500 to $1,000, except for the base S sedan which has jumped in price by $2,000.
This week’s test auto is really a top-of-the-line Focus hatchback Titanium ($25,099) with an additional $4,430 worth of alternatives including a two-tone leather interior, 18-inch alloys, sport suspension, navigation method, automated parking program, moonroof, and power driver’s seat. The as-tested cost, including Freight of $1,450, came to $31,079
Driving impressions
The Focus’ new two.0-litre four-cylinder engine pumps out 160 horsepower at 6,500 rpm, a massive improvement over the prior 140 horsepower engine and better than its competitors with similar-sized engines, for example the Hyundai Elantra Touring and Kia Forte5 2.0. The new Focus hatchback even beats the Toyota Matrix with its 158-hp two.4-litre engine. Even so, the Focus can’t match the Mazda3 Sport (168-hp 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine), the Dodge Caliber (172-hp 2.4-litre engine), the Kia Forte5 (optional 173-hp two.4-litre engine), or the Volkswagen Golf (170-hp 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine).
In certain, the Focus’ smaller engine can’t muster as a lot torque as it larger displacement rivals: its 146 lb.-ft. of torque compares to the Matrix’ 162, the Mazda3’s 168, Dodge Caliber’s 165, Kia Forte5 2.4’s 168, and the Golf’s 170 lb.-ft. The Focus’ engine, whilst high revving, isn’t as responsive as its competitors in mid-range acceleration and passing energy, although it is undoubtedly not underpowered.
