I've driven quite a few Focus models, and this car offers a rich variety of engine configurations. From older to newer generations, the engines have undergone significant changes. The second and third-generation Focus primarily featured 1.8L and 2.0L four-cylinder engines, known for their durability. Starting with the fourth generation, there was a major shift towards three-cylinder engines, especially for the domestically produced Focus after 2018, which mostly adopted the 1.5T three-cylinder. However, market acceptance of three-cylinder engines wasn't high, leading to the 2022 model reverting to a 1.5T four-cylinder. When choosing a car, pay special attention to the year and model—the ST performance version still maintains a 2.3T four-cylinder setup. If you're considering a used car, don't hesitate to pop the hood and count the spark plug locations for the most direct and accurate verification.
Just accompanied a friend to test drive the new Focus. The salesperson mentioned that the entire lineup now features a 1.5T four-cylinder engine with 180 horsepower, which is more than adequate for daily use. However, I recall the three-cylinder version sparked quite a debate a couple of years ago. My friend's 2020 model with the 1.5T three-cylinder engine had slight vibrations, especially noticeable during cold starts. The main differences between three-cylinder and four-cylinder engines lie in the smoothness of daily driving and the quality of the engine sound. A maintenance technician mentioned that parts for three-cylinder engines are cheaper, but the four-cylinder version holds its resale value much better. In the current joint-venture car market priced just over 100,000 yuan, the Focus four-cylinder is a competitively priced option.
