ford focus sos


Next, we finally get to the car’s drivetrain and powertrain, both of which are new to the Focus – as mentioned earlier, the 2.0 litre Duratec 20 normally-aspirated Ti-VCT GDI engine has been replaced in markets across the entire APA region by a blown Sigma-derived mill, the EcoBoost 15.

The Romanian-assembled 1.5 litre GTDI four-pot, essentially a variation of the 1.6 EcoBoost, trumps the 2.0 NA in terms of output, with 180 PS at 6,000 rpm and 240 Nm at 1,600 to 5,000 rpm compared to the old unit’s 170 hp at 6.500 rpm and 202 Nm at 4,550 rpm.

As for the transmission, the Getrag 6DCT250 dry-clutch six-speeder has been replaced by a torque converter automatic, in this case the SelectShift 6F35. Designed in collaboration with GM more than a decade ago, the six-speed unit can also be seen in its mid-range application on the C520 Kuga, CD539E S-Max and the facelifted CD391 Mondeo sedan.

C346 Focus FL Hatch MY-17 C346 Focus FL Hatch MY-33
Interestingly, in the case of the Sport+ and Titanium+, the gearshift is also new, with the toy-ish gearknob manual override SelectShift buttons seen previously nowhere to be found – the reason for this is the inclusion of steering-mounted paddle shifters on the two models.

A total of six exterior colours are available for the Focus in Malaysia, with Frozen White the only common choice across the model range. Panther Black and Candy Red are available only for the two hatchbacks, while Winning Blue can only be had with the Sport+. The sedan, meanwhile, gets two colours that are unique to it – Ingot Silver and Magnetic.

Finally, pricing. The Ford Focus 1.5L EcoBoost is priced at RM118,888 for the Trend, while the Sport+ and the Titanium+ sedan are priced at RM139,888, on-the-road with insurance.


what do ya think about this?

read about it in paultan's blog and i can say its one of the best move to replace the gb and engine - more so on the gb. However, the price is pretty or even very steep for a focus. Could get the popular brand with lower cash entry.

compared to previously 128k for a 2.0 duratec with slightly problem powershift, this is already up by 10%. comparable pricing with D-seg honda civic already... or even a recond c-class

but alteast ford is willingly to solve the issue and bring in more ecoboost

The Ford Focus 1.5L EcoBoost is priced at RM118,888 is so good and at first i guess it might need up to 12xk.

I'd say priced well, I drove a Fiesta for almost a year and it lived up to its expectations, I'm actually really excited for the new Focus.

With the new Focus scrapping out the troublesome GB, it's a good buy

i think it's priced well. biggest selling point is the engine. i would be more willing to go for the cheapest option, shame that it only has 2airbags, 4would be acceptable

having sat and driven my bro's current fofo, is really a driver's car. great predictable handling and easily whacks up to 160kmph, so i could imagine the new ecoboost would be screamer

1.6, first batch 2010 IIRC

Price wise for the Focus is not too bad but they did take out quite an amount of features.
