Ford Focus: Advantage In The Second Round
New Ford Focus Opel Astra Sports Touring better
?
Wagons from the compact class car buyers are at still popular, not only for fleet operators. Even in the private sector, they remain in demand as a comfortable family cars. Top dog in the golf segment is combined, but the VW has come in the years. And so the fight for the crown two new ones: Not so the old Opel Astra Sports Tourer and the brand new Ford Focus.
Matters to Focus stylish Astra
While Opel has replaced the conservative image of its brand Caravan station wagon with a pinch of lifestyle, Ford is something substantive to work. Also, because the tournament is a 60 percent share of the most important model in the Focus range, much attention was paid to him in the new development.
Opel Astra Sports Touring is significantly longer than the Ford Focus Wagon
Compact station wagons are all the rage. More and more they displace more expensive and larger models, partly because they themselves were growing significantly. Opel Astra Sports Touring current base is almost 4.70 meters long. By contrast, Ford Focus Estate is shorter by just 14.2 inches. He is barely wider, but still an inch lower than its competitor
Much more space has to offer
However, it creates the Cologne, in the trunk and storage space with the Astra draw nearly the same. What's more, the Ford creates 629 kg payload, exactly 64 more than the Astra and to a higher by 100 kilograms of trailer load. The reason: The Focus Wagon is significantly lighter than the Astra station wagon, at the 2-liter diesel models, there are at least 129 pounds. This brings all sorts of advantages in the Ford Focus dynamics and efficiency.
Both suits are in the driving behavior foolproof
With high-and ultrahigh-strength steels, the Ford engineers realized a very lightweight yet rigid structure. It forms a stable basis for the solid suspension. After all is done differently than the Opel Astra, the torsion beam axle with a Watt's link, Ford set from the outset to kinematically exact multi-link. The differences in driving behavior still remain low. Both tests provide candidates with agility in cornering and stability on straight routes. This focus on the Torque Vectoring Control as part of the ESP counteracts unwanted over-or understeer.
Astra with advantages in practicality
Both compact estate cars on the steering wheel you will feel immediately at home. In Focus, however, the instrument board is somewhat fragmented failed because the Astra is an advantage. Even when storage space. The Astra is not the only slightly larger, but even more useful. The rear seats can fold down to the flat but with two back, but installed in the Opel Astra a small lever at the rear, which allows the seat backs of the rear cap by moving from a practical detail.
The diesel is better in Opel
Modern turbo diesel with less than two liters of displacement for both brands to drive the top models in the range. The candidates thus offer superior performance coupled with a top speed of well over 200 times of 8.8 and 9.0 seconds for the sprint from a standing start to 100 Both also run pretty quiet. The Ford Motor fell but with a slight tensile weakness to just above idle.
Between 4.5 and 5 liters of fuel consumption
Opel has reworked its 2.0 CDTI and overhauled the engine installed in the Focus. With it reached the Astra Sports Touring with start-stop system a standard fuel consumption of 4.5 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers. The Ford Focus Estate 2.0 TDCI is 0.5 liters more to Beech, but that does its low weight while driving up for it.
Conclusion: Both combos makes nothing wrong
In the most compact estate cars, the two criteria are closely related. Only the significantly lower weight acts as a substantial advantage of the Ford Focus to be lower for.
