[OAlyssa]

The Focus is equipped with a three-cylinder engine, each cylinder having 4 valves. Below are the dimensions of the Focus model: 1. Length: 4647mm. 2. Width: 1810mm. 3. Height: 1468mm. 4. Drive type: Front-wheel drive. 5. Comes with two engine options: 1.0T and 1.5T. 6. Uses an 8-speed automatic transmission. Below are the configurations of the Focus model: 1. Interior: The interior is relatively simple but well-crafted with good materials, providing a pleasant tactile experience. The multimedia system includes a central control screen. 2. Performance: The 1.5T engine delivers 184 horsepower, offering good high-speed stability and effective noise insulation. 3. Fuel consumption: The fuel efficiency matches the performance, with a combined fuel consumption of around 7.6. Fuel consumption is higher in congested traffic conditions.

My 2020 Focus is equipped with the 1.5T three-cylinder engine. After driving it for two and a half years, I have to admit I'm a bit conflicted. You can feel a slight steering wheel vibration during startup, though it runs quite steadily on highways. I originally bought it because it was 20,000 yuan cheaper. Now the new mild-hybrid version has significantly reduced vibrations, but used car dealers always use the three-cylinder issue to bargain down the price. If I were choosing a car now, I might wait for the new four-cylinder version—I heard the 2023 facelift will switch back to a four-cylinder engine.

Having worked as a salesperson at a 4S dealership for five years, the controversy surrounding the full switch to three-cylinder engines in the Focus after its generational update is quite significant. Both the 1.5L naturally aspirated and 1.5T engines feature a three-cylinder structure, with Changan Ford specifically adding a balance shaft to counteract vibrations. The advantage of the three-cylinder setup is its city fuel consumption, which can be just over 7L, saving more than 1L compared to the older four-cylinder models. However, customers during test drives often turn off the air conditioning to listen to the idle sound. In reality, this generation's Ecoboost turbocharged engine delivers a more immediate power response than some 1.6L four-cylinder engines once the turbo kicks in.

Several issues specific to the three-cylinder Focus have been encountered. The turbo pipe is prone to oil seepage and requires regular clamp replacement, while engine mount deterioration becomes more noticeable than in four-cylinder vehicles after exceeding 80,000 kilometers. However, the simpler three-cylinder structure actually makes repairs cheaper, with spark plug replacement labor costs reduced by half an hour. The new model's addition of a BSG motor assistance has significantly improved cold-start vibrations. Owners are advised to clean the throttle body every 20,000 kilometers, which proves highly effective in vibration suppression.
