Test drive Ford Focus sedan since 2010 sedan
Long -term Ford Focus Wagon: Part 4. Causes of growth
This time our long test turned out to be especially saturated. In just one month in the company Ford Focus, we overcame 6.5 thousand kilometers and visited 11 countries.
Traditionally, for the Ford Focus model in Russia, the share of universal sales never exceeded a tenth. Once the Russian bestseller was well sold in the form of a sedan and was in good demand among the younger audience, which favors the haschtacks, but the most practical body that all of Europe has long recognized was not held in high esteem.
However, with a third generation of Ford Focus, the share of wagon wagon sales began to grow and almost reached a threshold of 15%. Moreover, this can be judged not only, relying on the dry figures of statistics, but also simply, looking around on the streets.
In Russia, the Ford Focus station wagon is available in three trim levels and with all engines and gearboxes that are offered for a hatchback. In addition, there is also a charged modification ST.
There are several reasons for this at once. The first is, of course, the price. For example, Ford Focus station wagon performed by Trend Sport with a motor of 1.6 l 125 hp. And the PowerShift transmission costs only 25 thousand rubles more than a similar hatchback. In addition, unlike many other manufacturers who bring their station wagons to Russia with a limited selection of engines and sets, Ford offers a focus of a wagon with the entire range of engines, gearboxes and configurations (with the exception of the basic Ambiente). What can I say there, in our market, Ford Focus Wagon is available even in the charged modification of ST.
17-inch discs and tinting the back row of glasses enter the Style Titanium package for 9,000 rubles. Another 36,000 rubles will require a premium-light package, which includes bi-ksenon front headlights with LED running lights, LED rear lights and LED light lighting with the possibility of choosing color and brightness level.
It is also important that the Ford's shed is not worse than the sedan and hatchback. Balanced settings allow the Ford to cope with the bundles of turns and with broken roads. The car reacts well to the rotten steering wheel and holds great on a high -speed straight line. It is a pity that no modifications and focus bodies in Russia are equipped with Ecoboost gasoline engines. It is clear that such machines would be more expensive and sensitive than atmospheres to the quality of the fuel, but I personally have no doubt in the fact that they find their own client.
Ford salon is distinguished by the quality of materials, a good assembly and a fresh design, although it feels more closely than in a previous generation car.
After all, the existing 105 and 125-horsepower versions of the 1.6 liter of the engine do not even claim the title of dynamic, the 2.0-liter motor about 150 forces is only a little better, and the 140-horsepower turbodiesel is too expensive and offers no less than 860 thousand rubles .
Well done Fordovites, who did not succumb to mass psychosis by stuffing in the underground of the trunk of a full -size spare wheel, which steals the main advantage of the station wagon capacity. You won’t find the bears in hats in ears on the streets of the Russian Federation with fire in the afternoon, but there is a tire fit on almost every corner, and it is not difficult to get to it on the dok.
The Ford Focus dashboard is a great example of a successful combination of design, functionality and readability. The non -retardant four -spoke steering wheel actually turned out to be convenient. Sony glossy audio system with small uncomfortable keys immediately catches all fingerprints, but it sounds good.
The third -generation Ford Focus station wagon added in length compared to the predecessor of 88 mm, but already became 16 mm. As a result, the trunk volume decreased by six liters and now is 476 liters. In addition to the backlight and a 12-volt outlet, there are a lot of all kinds of hooks and loops for fastening, as well as a pair of glove compartment for small things and a comfortable curtain. The rear sofa folds in parts, forming an even floor. At the same time, the trunk size increases to 1502 liters here the novelty is inferior to the previous generation of 23 liters.
Although the trunk volume has become slightly smaller, the space is well organized, there are many fasteners, backlight and a 12-volt outlet. The station wagon is the only modification of the focus in Russia where they left a dock so as not to sacrifice useful trunk liters.
For this month, Ford Focus Wagon showed himself a practical universal with a high -quality convenient salon, excellent front chairs, a good choice of configurations and additional options, a wide range of engines and a balanced behavior, which combines good handling and a decent level of comfort. And here are the causes of growth is clearly on the face.
