Glance does not seem different
dimensions and exterior design of this vehicle compared to previous models. An
appropriate step undertaken by Ford, given the typical figure of Ford's Kinetic
Design athletic quite liked. However, the change still comes from the shape of
an increasingly slender headlights with Daytime Running Lights (DRL) LED, and
merges with the line at the side of the vehicle to the stern.
Trapezoidal grille design was given
a touch of chrome on the edges makes it look more robust. Grille with Active
Grille Shutter feature is claimed to increase the coefficient of drag value of
six percent from the previous model. At the stern, the design of the rear
lights are made more pointed, fused with the body line on the side of the
vehicle. Ford Focus seeks to improve the aerodynamic design with a new tailgate
and rear spoiler.
Inside, the dashboard design of the
new Ford Focus is not different from previous models. We still feel the
futuristic styling with an elegant look thanks to the use of dark colored
material. One thing that is quite impressive is the loss of the buttons are
quite confusing in the previous model and replaced with buttons that are easier
to understand the function and usefulness.
The interior design was also one of
the concentration of the Ford design team to enhance the driving experience
becomes more leverage. The positive thing of this new interior design is more
room for storage, either in the center console, dashboard and doors that
enhance driving comfort.
TFT touch screen measuring 8 inches
is a major concern in the dashboard of the new Ford Focus. 2 SYNC system most
of Ford made a navigation display, climate control, entertainment control and
connectivity more accessible phone. Especially for the phone, Ford facilitate
the pairing of a variety of mobile phones with a variety of operating systems
and to improve the recognition capabilities pronunciation wider so that the use
of voice commands easier. Convenience is also improved on the availability of
some of the 12 volt power source and USB slot to support the driver and
passengers Focus gadget.
We moved to the Adelaide Hills in
suburban Adelaide from lodging in the city center. Bustling urban streets
immediately turned into a quiet winding streets of splitting hills so out of the
city of Adelaide. Smooth asphalt surface in the urban asphalt was turned into a
pretty rough and here one design updates Ford begins. New Ford Focus cabin can
be practically silent when bulldoze the streets with a rough surface and
winding in the Adelaide Hills. Ford design team added a soundproof material at
some point as in the windshield, glass side windows, insulation machine,
insulation in each cabin door and use a thicker carpet.
Solid
Technology
Golding arrived at wineries Wine,
Adelaide Hills, we were greeted design team and head of the program New Ford
Focus Asia Pacific, Mark Rampling. "We've listened to a lot of input on
what needs to be updated from the Ford Focus. Including updates on the features
in this vehicle technology that will allow users and do not eliminate the Focus
DNA as vehicles are fun to drive. We are very proud that a few years ago all of
the advanced features in the new Ford Focus only on luxury cars and Ford Focus
now all consumers will be able to feel the ease and usefulness "Mark said
in his speech.
New Ford Focus was equipped with
safety technology features quite complete, one of which is the Transitional
Enhanced Stability (ETS). This technology works alongside braking system ABS
and EBD as well as serve proactively, for example in the event of sudden
braking. When the process is carried out braking, ABS and EBD works, ETS
directly active and process the incoming data and then perform actions such as
reducing engine power in each wheel and apply braking individual tire in order
to keep the vehicle on track.
Safety guarantee is also given by
the features Lane Keeping Aid and Lane Keeping Alert that keep the car on
lajurnya, if the driver does not alert. Lane Keeping Alert sounds an alarm
warning and Lane Keeping Aid will provide light in the steering torque to then
return the vehicle to the correct lajut. Features Blind Spot Information System
(BLIS) complement assistance features for the driver.
Active City Stop feature will work
when the car is moving at speeds up to 50 km / h and will stop automatically
when it detects obstacles in front of the car and the driver does not brake
perfectly. Another feature is a refinement of the Enhanced Active Park Assist
which features automatic parallel parking (Parallel Park Assist) is now coupled
with Perpendicular Park Assist or automatic reverse parking. Simply by pressing
a pizzeria in the center console, the system will be looking for enough space
to park the car and the steering wheel turning to computers to guide into the
car. The driver only controls the transmission lever and the accelerator and
brake.
Both of these features includes
other features that Park Assist and Traffic Alert Out where the steering is
taken over by the system to help the driver to get the car in the parking parallel.
While the Traffic Alert gives a warning when the driver retreated to his car
out of the parking lot when there is a vehicle that will pass. Sensor range can
reach 30 meters.

technologies such as turbochargers, direct fuel-injection high pressure and
Twin-independent Variable Cam Timing, the resulting engine power to 180 hp at

manifold is claimed to increase efficiency by delivering more efficient air intake
to the engine and make it operate at the optimal temperature. The new design of
the turbocharger, is able to cut the flow of exhaust gas from cylinders to
turbochargers, manifolds integrated also reduces turbo lag to deliver torque
faster. Aluminum engine blocks used to reduce weight and improve performance
and efficiency. Ford claims fuel consumption Ford Focus can reach the 16.1 kpl.
New Ford Focus driving experience
also helped by the presence of the new Twin Independent Transmission 6-speed
CVT. We feel the gear shift is now faster. In the S mode use the button shifter
in gear knob allows the rider was enough though the sensation was not like use
of paddle shift on the steering wheel more exciting.
Focus control is also more precise
thanks to the use of the steering system Rack and Pinion with Electric Power
Assist Steering who follow the wishes of the driver to make more confident when
the field winding streets. At high speeds, the steering has also become more
solid and better control. It is not separated from the increasingly stiff
suspension changes. Rubber suspension stiffness is claimed to be more rigid 20
to 25 percent so that the effect on the horizontal movement of the suspension.
