Is the new Focus equipped with three-cylinder engines across the entire lineup?

The new Focus is equipped with three-cylinder engines across the entire lineup. The methods for engine maintenance are: 1. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter; 2. Keep the crankcase well-ventilated; 3. Periodically clean the fuel system; 4. Regularly clean the radiator. The new Focus is a compact car under Changan Ford. Taking the 2021 Focus Manual Fengyue model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4647mm, width 1810mm, height 1468mm, with a wheelbase of 2705mm. The 2021 Focus Manual Fengyue model is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 90kw and a maximum torque of 153nm. It uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.
This topic has been widely discussed among car enthusiasts. The mechanic at the repair shop next to my house keeps saying: the Focus models from 2018 to 2019 were indeed all equipped with three-cylinder engines. The 1.5T engine was really powerful, but it shook so much during cold starts that you could balance a coin on it. Starting with the 2022 model year, Ford got smarter—the four-cylinder 1.6L naturally aspirated version made a comeback. Last week, I accompanied a friend to the dealership for a test drive and even opened the hood to count the spark plug holes—four of them! However, the 1.5T version still maintains the three-cylinder design, so buyers should double-check the spec sheet. Honestly, three-cylinder engines aren’t that scary; they actually offer quicker power response when new. Just remember to replace the engine mounts after five years, or the steering wheel vibration will become noticeable.
