What is the actual 0-100km/h acceleration time of the Ford Focus?
1 Answers
According to official data, the Ford Focus is available in two engine displacements: 1.5T and 1.5L. The 1.5T model achieves a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 8.9 seconds, while the 1.5L model takes 12.7 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100km/h acceleration time include: Torque: Torque essentially represents the strength of the engine. The greater the torque, the stronger the force propelling the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. For example, the maximum torque of the Verano is 250 N·m, with a 0-100km/h time of 7.7 seconds. The Focus 1.5T produces 370 N·m of torque, achieving 8.9 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involving power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Focus 1.5T is equipped with an automatic transmission (AT). Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The Verano has a power-to-weight ratio of 137Hp/T, achieving 7.7 seconds. The Focus 1.5T has a power-to-weight ratio of 127Hp/T, with an acceleration time of 8.9 seconds.
