Ford Focus Acitve

Although compacts are still the most popular in the automotive industry, there has been a need to flash something in this segment for years because of the growing demand for leisure cars. Of course, SUVs are available in all sizes and shapes, but there are some strong arguments for compact and conventional combos. The new Ford Focus from Sport (ST Line) to Elegant (Vignale) is available in all versions and is now available as an off-road version with Active.

The most spectacular change is, of course, the cool orange metal color, the wrapped body, which not only suggests massiveness, but is also somewhat more resistant to external influences. Such extra protection comes in the city, and on the unpaved roads it is even more lucky. In addition to receiving an independent rear axle, Focus Active has a higher front height than the base version and a 35 mm rear end. The Active version comes with self-developed springs, shock absorbers and stabilizers. Although Ford does not offer four-wheel drive to Focus Active, the car's offer has been further enhanced by two additional modes. In Slippery, sliding mode, the drive chain strives for maximum traction to achieve maximum grip. In addition, there is a Trail mode for terrain where the traction control is much more tolerant, so mud, sand or snow can get better off the traction wheel.

The engine range is unchanged, so the petrol engines are 1.0 or 1.5 liter, three-cylinder turbines with 120 and 150 horsepower. The 1.5-liter diesel is already four-cylinder, with a turbo engine of 120 or 150 hp. Customers can also select a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission for Focus Active hiking shoes.
