福特近日在北京车展发布了新一代福睿斯。这款仅供中国市场的车型将与最近发布的第四代福克斯共同销售。该车很多设计元素都与福克斯共享，车头的镀铬格栅占据了前脸主要部分，向后倾斜的车顶与行李箱盖集成在一起，而环绕式尾灯组成为车身设计收尾之笔。车辆内装更多的采用欧洲标准，包括平直的塑料内饰和8英寸触控显示屏。双色座椅更有助于吸引年轻消费者。为提升技术水平，该车还配备了倒车摄像头，自动雨刷，电控座椅和无钥匙进入。该车标配的安全系统经过中国NCAP撞击测试获得五颗星评级。福睿斯动力系统包括1.0升EcoBoost或1.5升引擎，都可搭配手动或自动变速器。
New Ford Escort Revealed At The Beijing Motor Show
The Ford Escort has a long European history dating back to 1968. It has been everything from the family workhorse to multiple iterations of fire breathing rally cars. Ford’s famed RS badge was actually conceived with go-faster Escorts in mind, back when winning on Sunday translated into sales on Monday. The Ford Escort left Europe in 2004, but has now been reborn in China.
Exclusive to the Chinese market, the new Ford Escort will be sold alongside the recently revealed fourth-generation Focus. The nameplate first appeared in Asia back in 2004 as a sedan based upon an old Focus, but this new one receives Ford’s latest global car platform.
Many of its design elements blend together themes of the latest Focus and the one that came before. A large chromed grille dominates the front facia, a sloping roof meets a neat boot lid, while wrap-around taillights complete the car.
The interior is a bit more basic by European standards with flat plastic surfaces surrounding an 8-inch touchscreen display. Two-tone seats are available to inject a bit of character into the interior and attract younger buyers. It also comes with good levels of tech including a reversing camera, automatic wipers, electric seats, and keyless entry. This car’s standard safety equipment was also awarded the full five stars from the Chinese division of NCAP.
Powering the Escort is either a 1.0-liter EcoBoost or 1.5-liter engine, both available with a manual or automatic transmission.
