Focus is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. Below is a partial introduction to this car: 1. The car is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. This engine has a maximum power of 90kW, a maximum torque of 153Nm, and also features multi-point fuel injection technology. It uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 2. The Focus is a compact sedan under Changan Ford. Its body dimensions are 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705mm. The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension uses MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension.

I've been driving the Changan Ford Focus ST-Line for quite some time now, and it's equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission that shifts incredibly smoothly without any jerking sensations. The older versions used to come with either a manual or a four-speed automatic, but there have been significant improvements since then; the automatic transmission is more fuel-efficient, and you don't have to constantly press the clutch in traffic—though manual transmissions do offer more driving fun, they can be quite tiring in the city. The transmission pairs well with the engine, ensuring steady power output, and maintenance isn't complicated either—just an oil change every 10,000 kilometers. With the new transmission, the Focus's handling has noticeably improved, making long drives much less fatiguing.

I've been driving for over thirty years and have experienced all the transmission changes in the Focus. The new models come with an eight-speed automatic or six-speed manual, while the older versions had a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. The automatic transmission responds quickly, offers good fuel efficiency, and is more reliable than the dual-clutch. Changan Ford has upgraded the transmission in recent years, resolving the previous noise issues, making the ride quieter. The manual transmission is great for those who enjoy control, with crisp gear shifts, but the automatic is much more convenient for city commuting. Choosing the right transmission type can extend the vehicle's lifespan—my Focus has run for five years without major repairs.

I just bought a Focus with an automatic transmission, which uses an eight-speed gearbox, and the gear shifts are as smooth as flowing water. Driving to and from work is particularly easy, especially in traffic jams where frequent gear changes aren't necessary. Manual transmissions offer a stronger sense of control but are more tiring. Changan Ford made a smart choice with this gearbox, as it matches the needs of city driving, and the fuel consumption is much lower than the older models. When driving, the transmission responds promptly, and overtaking is just a press of the accelerator away.

Maintaining the Focus transmission is crucial. For manual transmissions, inspect every 20,000 kilometers, while the 8-speed automatic is more durable, requiring only an oil change every 10,000 kilometers. The transmission type significantly impacts the vehicle's reliability and fuel efficiency. The new Focus uses an 8-speed automatic, which is far more fuel-efficient than the old 4-speed. Gear shifts are smooth without jerking, reducing mechanical wear. After Changan Ford adjusted its transmission strategy, driving safety has improved.
