The new ford focus with a renewed look

Ford focus

The Ford focus went under the knife, not because it needed it, but because they were determined to eliminate the rare shortcomings of the blue oval and give it the characteristic "aston" engine mask, first seen on the fiesta. In addition, they renewed the range of engines, added two 1.5-liter ones and further improved the Focus' rich range of advanced technology. This is the new Ford focus 2015.

By design refurbished Ford focus can be recognized by the characteristic large engine masks, which will soon become the trademark of most Ford models, and this, together with the low engine cover, drew narrow and more spread out lights and, as a result, a significantly more aggressive front part of the vehicle. From the side, there are fewer changes at first glance, but even so, they are here in the form of roof racks for the station wagon and a new line of alloy wheels. At the rear, the observer initially notices similar lights, but they have been proportionally reduced, there are also some differences on the trunk lid and bumper, but you will only notice them if both Ford Focuses are parked next to each other (before and after the renovation).

In addition to the bulging engine cover, the affinity with the Mondeo can also be found in the large trapezoidal active air intake slot, which replaced the predecessor's three-part one.

The first thing the driver will notice upon entering is the new steering wheel with more modernly designed buttons, which are also much more intuitively arranged. Thus, the driver will now need to take his eyes off the road much less often to press the right button, and the steering wheel as a whole is also nicer to look at. The steering mechanism has been further improved in favor of better response and the feeling of what is happening under the wheels, the same applies to the chassis and suspension, in favor of even better driving dynamics, which was already lacking in the predecessor. As mentioned above, the central place on the center console is occupied by 8-inch touch screen, which is part of the second generation Sync system, which, among other things, enables voice recognition. There is a new audio system, many features for comfort, connectivity and entertainment are available to drivers, from emergency calls, bluetooth, the car is an easy access point to connect to the Internet.

The interior has gained at least as much as the exterior, both in terms of the quality of materials, appearance and functionality. There are also more advanced techniques, and the one from before is even better.

The real flood is in the equipment packages, of which there are basically six: ambiente, trend, busines, sport and titanium and titanium X. There is a lot new in the assistance systems, where the ESC can now recognize what is happening on the road and react even before the wheels slip.

They have improved the low-speed collision avoidance system (AEB), which recognizes obstacles and takes automatic action if necessary up to 50 km/h, the parking assistant can from now on transversely automatically parking and warns traffic while driving from a parking space, reading the character limit takes place in cooperation between the camera and navigation.

Ford says that with the new touch screen they "got rid" of as many as 40 percent of the buttons, which was a common criticism of the predecessor.
