Ford Focus Titanium 1.0 Ecoboost 125 Hp
A three-cylinder engine in a compact mid-range
? I was not the only skeptic when Ford Focus for the 1.0 EcoBoost announced. The turbo I did not worry about power and torque, but even more about noise and vibration. Recently it appeared that the 100 horsepower Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost particularly well pleases. Now I feel the 125 hp version through its paces to see how the stronger version in clinical practice. I can already tell that the one liter-Focus a good impression.
On July 1, the addition to the shovel. The Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost with 100 horsepower ranges from 14 to 20 percent addition, while the 125 hp version will add 20 percent. After 1 July Ford expected, therefore, increase sales of the latter, whereas at this time the lightest to the version number of causes. The time that a basic engine felt like a Ford let slip with the three cylinder behind him, because what this block performs great! At the bottom is' he's a little slow, but when the turbo is going to work this focus - from 1,500 rpm - nice smooth and delivers a reasonable 170 Nm torque (200 Nm in overboost). The Ford is faster than you would expect and the engine runs remarkably smooth and quiet. At low speeds you can hear him hardly, only when accelerating you hear in the distance that you are away on a three-cylinder. Absolutely not disturbing, because a three-cylinder sounds pretty nice.
Perhaps the most important is that the characteristic vibrations in a three-cylinder hear are totally absent. Also in the pedals or the steering wheel vibrates nothing. Ford has the flywheel and the Timing deliberately unbalance introduced, allowing the vibrations of the crankshaft neutralized. Even with the use of the start-/stop system you do not suffer from annoying vibrations. This technical ingenuity, I desire no point to the 'old' familiar 1.6 four cylinder. Indeed, this is the first time a three-cylinder four-cylinder makes one forget - how strange such an engine in C-segment car is.
No miracles
This way of downsizing like so far so good. Based on the CO2 emissions of 114 g / km consumption should also like, but that is a bit disappointing. After a low-speed test track was made the average consumption exactly 1 in 15. Least of all inefficient, but the older - atmospheric -, 1.6-liter scores the same consumption and Ford's promise of 1 in 20.8 is infeasible. Long time gave 17.5 to 1 on the onboard computer, which given the deviation in the onboard computer matches 1 to 17. Efficient, I'm not in town and got even consumption fluctuates around 1 to 11.5. It is convenient that at a glance different values in the onboard computer can read. Not only the range and average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption but also is simultaneously on the same screen. It turns out the Focus 1.0 EcoBoost at steady speeds of 50 and 80 km / h quite efficient, while the Ford at 120 km / h and - thanks to the six-speed - 2100 rpm so neat about 1 to 16.5 runs. Again, all except bad values, but really impressive? No, no.
Sharp
On riding Ford proves for the umpteenth time that comfort and driving pleasure perfectly united. It starts when you take a seat in the car. The sports seats are perfect and offer lots of support. The Focus is nice comfortable, which helps control the light. The six-speed can be accurately performed, though the transition from the one to the other gear are sometimes a little smoother. The compact mid-sized car has no problem with a 'sporty' driving. The damping is pretty tight these occasions, what the coach cornering stable. Despite the light steering directs the Focus sharp. The average driver will really benefit? Probably not, but who wants to have the feeling that with your car can go off "on the Focus has a really nice car. You know like it should (on) can and that makes t fun.
tongues wagging
The interior has many tongues loosened. The layout would be too crowded and I'm part of it. If you get in you will become overwhelmed by the futuristic design. Do you look better, then prove all the buttons are where they belong, and even excellent ergonomics. A pity is that the device with buttons to operate and not via a touchscreen. That's probably because the screen is rather small. The system works well and looks excellent.
So there you have it, we do not have to worry about downsizing. A three-cylinder car from the C-segment? Ford Focus with the 1.0 EcoBoost shows that there is no disadvantage. The engine performs perfectly, runs very smoothly and is also quiet. The consumption may not be revolutionary, it is certainly not against it. That this block in one of the finest moving family cars is located, the total picture is even better. Hooray for Ford!
