THE NEW GENERATION OF FORD FOCUS

The brand has already begun to publicize the official teasers of the upcoming Ford Focus. With the official debut expected in early 2018, the next generation of the Ford Focus has just been revealed, albeit with a colorful camouflage. And while not showing much, it does not hide the similarities with its smaller brother and also recently renewed Ford Fiesta.On the new Focus, it is important to note that the rumors that have emerged so far indicate a growth in all dimensions, thanks also to a longer platform, designed to ensure not only more space for the occupants in the interior, but also a better capacity in the trunk.There is also no information regarding the engines, although some sources comment on the possibility of a block of three cylinders and 1.5 liters, which should be the main line. The availability of other engines will vary by market.







The novelty is that the production of the American version of the new Focus was confirmed for China, more specifically at the Ford factory in Changan. Strategy that will allow the American brand to save close to 1 billion dollars in costs alone. The European Focus will continue to be produced in the Old Continent, more precisely in Germany. For Brazil and Latin America, it is probably still being manufactured in Argentina.
Regarding the date of presentation of the final production version, the latest information indicates that, due to the advanced state of development of the car, this fourth generation Ford Focus will be presented at the next Detroit Motor Show, which opens its doors to from 14 January, or at the latest in March, on the occasion of the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.
