Ford Focus: More Room For Family And Luggage
Ford brings new Focus now also as a station wagon on the market
. As usual at Ford, he is called "tournament". On the other hand, the tournament will represent more than half of all sales of the compact grader.
Ford Focus measures 4.56 meters
The new cluster has a similar style tailgate like the Focus hatchback, but which is steeper and reaches further down. The loading lip is only 59 centimeters above the ground. The approximately 20 centimeters greater rear overhang stretches the overall length to 4.56 meters. The wheelbase of 2.65 meters is same in both versions. In foreign and track width they are not different.
More head room in the Ford Focus Wagon
But the tournament has a higher roof, resulting in nearly four inches more headroom in the rear, a not insignificant advantage compared to the hatchback brother. The trunk of the tournament is 476 instead of 316 liters in size. Lashing eyelets in the luggage compartment in each standard Focus, but a 12-volt power outlet only has the tournament. Just like a roof rack. The Ford, however, can be 200 extra.
Easy-to place rear bench seat
Because air resistance and fuel consumption increase dramatically, but also a combination that should rarely invite the roof. So better to fold down the rear bench and set up a truck bed. Works well without, and is also the Focus Hatchback possible. Only this can provide just 1101 liters of storage space available and has a stage.
When cargo volume in the middle
The tournament is waiting on the other hand with 1516 liter capacity and a flat load floor length of 165 centimeters on. Compared to the competition from Ford is therefore in the middle. For the VW Golf Variant 1495 liters, indicated for the Opel Astra Sport Tourer 1550 liters.
Many wizards - but not with standard equipment
But none of the combatants has so many assistance systems: emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, lane assistant, fatigue warning, parking aid, high beam and Blind Spot Assist. So what were previously only in luxury sedans. Unfortunately, none of this series. Packaged in various packages surcharge cost electronic guardian angels and helpers between 350 and 1375 . For 1750 , it is also a leather package. The Family Package with electric doors and child safety belt warning lights in the rear, however, is really a bargain with its 60 surcharge.
Engines 95-182 hp
All engines in the sedan are also available in the tournament. A 1.6-liter gasoline engine covers four levels 105-182 hp. The two most powerful versions with 150 hp and 182 belong to the generation of new Ecoboost turbocharged direct injection engines and have start-stop systems. Diesel buyers can choose between two four-cylinders with 1.6 and 2.0 liter displacement and an output 95-163 hp.
Driving pleasure is not too short
The instrument panel looks a touch too cluttered. It takes some time until you have assigned to all switches and levers correctly. But no matter which engine - the driving pleasure is not neglected. The hatchback Focus does not respond differently than its hatchback brother and follows spontaneously to steering movements, has a straight run, is agile and curve-hugging and springs yet supple. That his body 20 centimeters extends further over the rear axle would make at best when fully loaded negatively.
Conclusion Ford Focus Wagon
Plus points are great engine choice, unusually high number of security extras; Cons: basic model without air conditioning and radio.
