Is the engine of the new Focus imported?

The engine of the new Focus is both imported and domestically produced. Currently, most Focus models are equipped with domestically produced engines, while the Focus ST and Focus RS feature imported engines. The Ford Focus, on the other hand, is entirely domestically produced. The new Focus is equipped with two types of engines, model numbers CAF384Q16 and CAF384WQ06. Its body dimensions are: length 4647mm, width 1810mm, height 1468mm, with a wheelbase of 2705mm, a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, and a trunk capacity of 511 liters. It adopts a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. The new Focus is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It delivers a maximum power of 90 kW at 6500 rpm and a maximum torque of 243 Nm. The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I remember when I last changed cars, I chose the new Focus and specifically asked the dealer about the engine origin. The salesperson said most standard versions now have 1.5T engines locally produced at Changan Factory. After Ford's joint venture with China, the manufacturing became very refined. Although it doesn't have the prestige of imports, the acceleration is powerful and fuel-efficient. I've driven 20,000 kilometers without any issues. Actually, global automakers are all localizing production - domestic manufacturing reduces prices, and with a 5-year warranty, it's even more cost-effective. If you opt for the high-performance ST model, it might have imported components, but the price doubles. The key isn't whether it's imported or domestic, but choosing a reliable model. I'm saving money now with regular maintenance, and this car is incredibly stable at highway speeds.
