Is the Focus Sedan a Three-Cylinder?
2 Answers
The Focus Sedan is equipped with a three-cylinder engine. It uses two types of engines: a 1.5L naturally aspirated three-cylinder engine and a 1.5T turbocharged three-cylinder engine. Taking the 2021 Focus as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, a wheelbase of 2705mm, a fuel tank capacity of 53L, and a curb weight of 1245kg. The 2021 Focus is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122PS, a maximum power of 90kW, and a maximum torque of 153Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
A friend of mine recently bought the new Focus sedan version and specifically chose the one with a three-cylinder engine. He said it feels quite responsive when starting off, especially in stop-and-go city traffic, and it feels noticeably lighter than the four-cylinder version. However, there is a slight vibration during cold starts, but it runs smoothly while driving. The fuel consumption is also quite friendly, averaging about 500 kilometers per tank, which saves a lot of money in the long run. He suggested checking the specific model when choosing a car, such as the 1.0L EcoBoost, which focuses on economy and is completely sufficient for daily commuting, but might feel slightly underpowered on long highway trips. In short, some models do have three-cylinder versions, so it's best to test drive before buying to get a real feel for the experience.
