福特近日发布了全新福克斯系列车型，包括轿车、旅行车和掀背车，这些车型将在欧洲、中国和美国上市。重新设计的福克斯采用了通用模块化平台结构，据说是福特采用全新产品开发流程中的首款量产车型。新车采用了更长的引擎盖和车厢后移内部结构，轴距进一步增加，从而产生了新的视觉效果并增加内部空间，但车身三维并没有改变。该车还配备了福特CoPilot360安全和辅助驾驶系统。根据所销售地区和不同的车型规格，新车可提供自适应巡航控制、自适应前大灯、主动驻车辅助和规避转向辅助功能。其他技术升级包括福特Sync3信息娱乐系统，它包括8英寸触控显示屏，无线智能手机充电和遥控管理系统。工程师还对车辆底盘和悬挂进行了调整，车身抗扭刚性提升20%。该车还配备升级后的转向系统和八速自动变速器以及汽油和柴油EcoBoost引擎。福克斯北美版将于下半年上市，届时福特将公布引擎规格。

 

 Ford reveals all-new Focus lineup

 Ford has revealed the all-new global Focus lineup, including a sedan, estate/wagon, and hatchback for Europe, China and the US market.

 

The redesigned Focus is said to be one of the first examples of Ford's new product development process, which aims for a global reach with uniquely tailored variants yet still benefiting from a common modular platform architecture.

 

The new models feature a longer hood with a cab-rearward interior and longer wheelbase, giving the cars a new visual proportion and increasing interior space without changing the actual exterior dimensions.

 

Drivers will benefit from Ford's CoPilot360 safety and assistance technologies. Depending on region and configuration, the new Focus is available with adaptive cruise control, adaptive front lighting, active park assist and evasive steering assist. Other tech upgrades include Ford's Sync 3 infotainment system, an available eight-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone charging and remote vehicle management.

 

Engineers have revamped the chassis and suspension with a 20-percent increase in torsional rigidity. An improved steering system and eight-speed automatic transmission are also new, along with revised gasoline and diesel EcoBoost engines.

 

Engine specifications for North America will be announced closer to launch, scheduled for the second half of 2019.
