In April 2004, Ford was presented to the Motor Show in Beijing a conceptual Focus of the second generation in the Sedan Body. Unlike the predecessor, the car with change of generation has ceased to be in the full sense "global", because in the USA a completely different model was sold. In 2008, a debit of the updated "Focus-2" took place on the Frankfurt auto test, which received a corrected appearance and a revised interior, which was in a constant form produced until 2011.

The "second" Ford Focus in a three-note execution looks assertive and solid, and its appearance is made in the so-called "kinetic design". The brightest and expressive of him is the front part, endowed with a relief hood, sculptural optics (in expensive versions with a swivel bi-xenon) and a bumper with a trapezoid air intake and round tums around the edges.

The powerful silhouette of "focus" is designed due to the "inflated" wheeled arches, which accommodate discs with a size of 15 to 17 inches, sloped hood, strongly littered rear rack and large doors. But not everything is so good: it seems that the back of the "kinetic energy" did not have enough - it looks too boring and simple, and neither a developed bumper with a plastic lining, nor LED lights in expensive versions the situation save.

The overall sizes of the sedan correspond to the canons "Golf" -Class: 4488 mm in length, 1497 mm in height and 1840 mm in width. From the front to the rear axle, the car has 2640 mm, and from the bottom to the road - 155 mm (clearance).
The cutting weight of the Ford Focus 2nd generation sedan varies from 1195 to 1360 kg.

The interior of the "second focus" looks good and rich, and depending on the level of equipment, the design of the front panel may differ somewhat. For a large steering wheel (in the top versions of multifunctional), the "shield" with four squabs, entering into devices, and the monochrome display of the route computer are hidden.

The front panel of the sedan is subordinated to the "right straightness" principle, and only oval ventilation deflectors are somewhat dissected with a common style. Depending on the configuration, three knobs of the regular "stove" can be observed on the torpedo, rotating air conditioner washers or a double-zone climate control unit. The audio system is relumed to all versions, but the prerogative of top performances is premium "music" and even a multimedia system with a color screen.

According to ergonomic indicators, Ford Focus Sedan 2 will give odds to many classmates: all controls are based on familiar places. The interior of the car is made of good and pleasant plastics, inserts under a tree or aluminum add solidity to it, and in expensive versions in the cabin you can also meet high-quality skin.

The "second" Ford Focus in the body of the sedan offers a comfortable placement by the driver and passengers. Wide front armchairs have a comfortable ride (in expensive versions, "chain" sports chairs were installed), endowed with wide capabilities of adjustments. The rear sofa is designed for three saddles, the stock of space is enough for all fronts, and for more convenient accommodation there is a central armrest.

The trunk of the sedan is 467 liters, his form is thoughtful, and under the raised floor hid a full "spare room". After folding the rear sofa, a smooth loading site is obtained in the sedan, which allows you to transport 931 liters of boot up to 1659 mm long.

Specifications. On the Russian market, the three-volume Ford Focus 2nd generation was available with five fuel "four" series DURATEC with electronic fuel injection (EFI) and one DuratorQ TDCI turbodiesel.
To begin with, the gasoline part. The initial is the 1.4-liter unit with a potential of 80 horsepower, which develops 127 Nm of torque at 3500 rev / minutes. In combination with 5-speed "mechanics", it provides a sedan overclocking to 100 km / h in 14.2 seconds, peak speed 166 km / h and the average consumption of 6.6 liters in a mixed cycle.
1.6 liter engine is available in two options for forsing: 100 "horses" and 143 nm traction at 4000 rev / min or 116 forces and 155 nm at 4150 rpm. The first manifestation of MCP or a 4-range ACP, the second - only MCP. Acceleration until hundreds of 1.6-liter sedan takes from 10.9 to 13.6 seconds, and the possible speed ranges from 174 to 193 km / h. The appetite at the same time he has a low - 6.6-7.5 liters depending on the version.
A more powerful unit has a volume of 1.8 liters, and its potential has 125 horsepower and 165 Nm of rotating traction at 4000 rpm. In conjunction with the "mechanics" for five gears, the acceleration until the first hundred spends 10 seconds, and the "maximum" was recorded by 193 km / h. At 100 km of the path, such a sedan leaves 7 liters of fuel.
The "top" option is a 2.0-liter engine generating 145 "horses" and 190 nm at a 4500 rev / minute and component MCP or ACP. The conquest of 100 km / h in a three-component takes 9.3-10.9 seconds, the maximum speed reaches 193-210 km / h, and the consumption of gasoline is 7.1-8 liters.
1.8 liter turbodiesel produces 115 forces and 300 nm at 1900 rpm, and works in a pair with "mechanics", which ensures the sedan the following characteristics: for 10.8 seconds it conquers a hundred, up to 193 km / h accelerated maximum, 5.3 liters of diesel fuel "Eats" in mixed mode.

At the base of the "second" Ford Focus lies "Trolley" Ford C1 with MacPherson suspension on the front axle and a multi-dimensional circuit with a blowing effect on the rear axle. Depending on the modification, an electric or electro-hydraulic power steering amplifier was put on the car. On the basic sedans, disk front and drum rear brake systems were used, and 125 forces were more powerful on machines with motor machines - fully disk mechanisms.

The advantages of the model include tracked engines (ranging from 1.6-liter option), a spacious salon, excellent handling, a large trunk, a high level of security and adaptation to Russian realities.
Disadvantages - modest clearance, low noise insulation and outdated "automatic".

Prices. The three-generation three-generation Ford Focus has always been in high demand in Russia, therefore, in the secondary market in 2015 there are a large number of proposals. The prices of the car are scattered from 250,000 to 450,000 rubles, there are copies and more expensive.

The presentation of the concept and serial version of the second generation of Ford Focus 2 cars took place in the summer-invent of 2004. And since 2005, the model began to gather in Russia at the factory in Vsevzhsk. Model was produced from 2005 to 2011. Ford Focus 2 got only on the European and Russian markets. In the US, the second generation was called a somewhat finalized first version of the car.

Ford Focus 2 was the result of the painstaking work of developers in various directions. The new generation has become even more reliable and practical than a recognized and very popular predecessor. Concern engineers, designing an updated model, tried to preserve and improve the strengths, as well as equip the novelty with additional modern components. One of the main directions that the changes affected was an already high level of security. Designers sought to exceed all the requirements of modern requirements for the conditions of preservation of passengers.

Ford C 1 platform

Transmission

For Ford Focus 2, various gearboxes are installed:

  • a four-stage automatic transmission (with an engine capacity of 1.6 or 2.0 l);
  • five-speed mechanical gearbox;
  • six-speed mechanical gearbox.

Ford Focus 2 with a mechanical gearbox is equipped with a single-sized dry clutch with a spring and a sprinkle extinguisher and with a hydraulic shutdown of speeds.

Chassis

Based on a similar design of the first generation of the model. Car owners note such characteristics of the suspension, as reliability and durability, and indicate difficulty in independent repair and maintenance.

Suspension characteristics:

  • front - independent, spring, equipped with hydraulic amortized racks, as well as transverse stabilizers of torsion type;
  • rear - semi-independent with twisted springs, equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers and similar shock absorbers.

The standard package includes steel stamped, as well as radial tubeless tires, the size of 195/65 R15 and 205/55 R16.

Steering


Ford Focus 2 steering is distinguished by injuries. For comfortable driving, a power steering is provided. Position of the steering column The driver can adjust independently along the length and angle of inclination.

Brake system

Ford Focus 2 brakes are controlled by a hydraulic drive with a vacuum amplifier and pressure regulators. Front brakes disc, ventilated with floating bracket. On the rear wheels there are drum brakes with a gap repulsion or a floating bracket disk.

Gabarits.

Without overall dimensions, Ford Focus 2 specifications would be incomplete. For most domestic motorists, the size of the car is of fundamental importance.

The Ford Focus car, who has replaced the Escort model that has long been retired, has become one of the best-selling cars both around the world and in Russia. The peak of the popularity of Ford Focus reached in 2001-2002, becoming the best-selling car in the world. Something similar to Ford Focus was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1992. It was many years that the Ford was stored in the Secret CW170 platform. Many independent experts believed that she was presented to the fate of the Base of the New Ford Fiesta, but the Ford engineers decided otherwise - they ran it for focus.

In 1995, the first spy photos of Ford Focus were leaked in the intension. According to them, of course, it was difficult to judge all the peculiarities of the new model, but even from these low-quality snapshots had something revolutionary. The forerunners of the Fords Revolution in the design were miniature ka and koguar and, finally, in 1998, the revolution was accomplished - the world saw Ford Focus. It is worth noting that until the appearance, the new model was going to leave the former name Escort, but, given the global changes, it was decided to change and name.

Cardinal changes were not only the appearance of the auto Ford Focus, but also the salon. Smooth lines of something resembled Ford Mondeo, while the error in moods with the "baby" ka. And the concept of the new suspension simply caused admiration. Ahead is the usual McPherson, and the back is a four-piece branded Control Blade. Car critics met a new Ford Focus rather enthusiastic. Ford Focus, the cost of which was lower than direct competitors, such as or, in addition to explicit consumer merits, had a very high level of security. On crash tests, focus received four stars out of five possible, which was a big rarity for cars of this class in those years. All these factors did the popularity of the novelties simply inevitable and already in 2001, an updated version of the focus appeared on the wave of unprecedented success.

Ford Focus models were originally completed only by one Endura TDDI diesel engine, known since eighties.

A magnificent sports seats of Recaro and 9006 stereo stereo seats are offered as an option. The engine revision was manufactured by Cosworth, whose engineers increased its power from 130 to 170 horsepower. Also finalizing Cosworth affected brakes, exhaust system and gearbox (six-speed mechanical getrag 285).

This engine has increased efficiency and treasureness due to hydraulic Ti-VCT systems, which are installed on both camshafts. In later models, the volume of this engine was increased to 1.8 liters. Zetec's original engines with 1.6 and 1.8 liters also gave way to DURATEC HE Motors. The Americans borrowed this engine at Mazda MZR. Updates touched the focus diesel engines - a 1,6-liter diesel power of 90 horsepower and two-liter duratorq.
