Overview of the car "Ford Focus" hatchback

From the start of sales of the third generation "Ford Focus" (hatchback) has passed almost two years. Despite the fact that after the third reincarnation, the cost has also appreciably grown, the "German" remains the best-seller of the domestic market.

To date, the "Ford Focus" hatchback is the best-selling car of the golf class. In total, counting all three generations, along the Russian roads travels more than 750 thousand fords. In 2012, the hatchback experienced a minor facelift, as a result of which the Focus received a stunning exterior. Excitement, sportiness and aggressiveness are seen literally in every centimeter of the hull. It seems that we will not be too mistaken about the truth if we call the "Ford Focus" hatchback (the photo will serve as confirmation of these words) the ideal embodiment of kinetic design.

Exterior - harmony of dynamics and style

The front part of the hatchback demonstrates how the designers were guided when creating this car. Powerful, with a huge "mouth" of the air intake, the front bumper gives the hatchback a rather aggressive look. The air intake is divided by two inclined slats into three parts. The extreme compartments are, in essence, "deceptions". They carry only an aesthetic load. Next to them are stylish fog lamps, framed in chrome-plated wells. The headlights somewhat lengthened and acquired a cunning squint, which makes the character of the car even more unpredictable. The developers have completed the "Ford Focus" hatchback with xenon headlights of such power that they are able to turn impenetrable darkness into a white day.

Interior - comfort for pleasure

The internal "stuffing" of the model in question can be compared with a mobile phone: it can be simple, "monochrome", and can be stuffed up to failure with all sorts of electronic chips. In any case, high quality materials and interior trim is inherent in all versions, regardless of technical equipment. Even in the basic configuration of the "Ford Focus" hatchback, the price of which starts at a mark of 536 thousand rubles, quite an enviable "dowry". The car is equipped with two front airbags, electric power steering, central lock, ABC, electromirrors, numerous adjustments to the driver's seat and even more options, which can be listed for a long time.

Specifications

The base version of the third generation hatchback is offered with a rather weak 1.4 liter engine and with a potential of 85 "horses". This power unit is only equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox. This version is practically not in demand among our motorists, despite the fact that the price of the car is low. Russians prefer beautiful cars with rich interior equipment. And it does not matter how much they cost.

Therefore, the most popular among our compatriots uses the "Ford Focus" hatchback in the version of Titanium. This is the most "packaged" version. Yes, and its cost is about one million rubles. But the owner of this version gets a car with leather interior, automatic parking system, parking sensors, air conditioning, three-liter 150-horsepower engine and a mass of various multimedia add-ons.

Those who view the "Ford Focus" hatchback as a "people's car" in some ways are right in their own way. To buy it - with the most modest equipment - can be a little more than four hundred thousand. But for such a cost "domestic German" is realized only by the state program of utilization. In full, the hatchback can hardly claim the title of "people's".
