Does the Focus have an anti-collision steel beam?
2 Answers
The Focus is equipped with an anti-collision steel beam. The high-strength anti-collision steel beam built into the front bumper of the Focus is made of hot-pressed ultra-high-strength steel plate imported from a Swedish stamping factory, with a tensile strength of 980Mpa. The front corrugated steel plate is specifically designed to absorb energy, and its effectiveness is superior to that of non-corrugated steel plates. Behind the steel plate, there is also a square steel beam structure that can resist impact, while the structure connecting to the car body can also absorb and cushion the impact. The Focus is a compact car under Changan Ford. Taking the Focus 2021 Sedan 1.5L Manual Fengyue model as an example, the car body adopts a 4-door, 5-seat structure with a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters. In terms of power, the Focus 2021 Sedan 1.5L Manual Fengyue model is equipped with a 1.5L inline three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 90kW and a maximum torque of 153Nm, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a car enthusiast, I can tell you that the Focus is indeed equipped with anti-collision beams, installed both front and rear. These beams are typically made of high-strength steel, designed to absorb impact energy during a collision and protect the occupants inside the cabin. The Focus is quite reliable in terms of safety, scoring well in NCAP crash tests, partly due to the combination of anti-collision beams and the optimized structure of the body. Modern automotive standards require this, and Ford has paid attention to this aspect when designing the Focus. However, it's important to note that anti-collision beams are just one part of the overall safety system, working in conjunction with airbags and the body frame. Maintaining reasonable speed and regular maintenance can enhance their effectiveness while driving.
