What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the Focus?
2 Answers
The 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the Focus ranges between 8.9 to 9 seconds. The vehicle's acceleration performance is represented by this metric, with shorter times indicating better acceleration capabilities. Below are relevant details about the Focus: Body Dimensions: The dimensions of the new Focus are 4534 mm in length, 1823 mm in width, and 1483 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2648 mm. Powertrain: This model is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power output of 90 kW and a peak torque of 153 N·m, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've driven quite a few Focus models, and the acceleration time really depends on the specific version. The previous generation domestic sedan with the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine took about 11 seconds to reach 100 km/h, and it's basically unavailable now. The current 1.5T version has an official 0-100 km/h time of 9.4 seconds (some media tests of the hatchback sport version have achieved 8.7 seconds), which is completely adequate for city driving. However, if you come across the older 2.0L manual ST version, it's firmly in the 7-second club. Acceleration is quite temperature-sensitive - using AC in summer will cost you at least half a second. Last month when I helped my neighbor test his 2019 sedan, the transmission hesitated for half a second at full throttle, and my phone timer showed just over 10 seconds in the end.
