Method to open the hood of the new Focus: Pull the handle located near the driver's left foot. More information about the new Focus is as follows: 1. The new Focus is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 90kW (122PS) and a peak torque of 153N·m, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. The new Focus mainly undergoes configuration adjustments, offering both hatchback and sedan versions. The exterior and interior designs remain consistent with the current model. 3. The new Focus continues the Ford family's "Martin face" design, featuring a new headlight assembly with LED light sources and a continuous LED daytime running light strip.
Having driven a Focus for many years, I'm very familiar with the hood operation. The method is quite simple: First sit in the driver's seat, locate the small release lever on the floor near your left foot, pull it firmly until you hear a click indicating the hood is unlocked. Then exit the vehicle and walk to the front - the hood will have popped up slightly. Reach into the central gap to find the safety latch, push it outward and you can lift the hood. The whole process takes just over ten seconds, with very user-friendly design that's smoother than my older model. I recommend doing this after parking and turning off the engine to avoid pinching risks. This is how I add windshield fluid or check engine oil. If you encounter occasional stiffness, don't force it - just tap gently a few times.
