Ford, which is constantly producing updated Focus cars, has, as always, pleased motorists with a high level of comfort, safety, stunning appearance and, of course, affordability. The new 2019 Ford Focus 3 restyling has received a huge number of innovations, including a completely unique radiator grille and the front of the car as a whole.
As a rule, the Ford Focus 3 2019 is available in three bodies - these are:
- Station wagon;
- Hatchback;
- Sedan.
The price of each car is directly related to the body, which is extremely important to consider when purchasing this car.
Looking at the appearance of the new Ford Focus 2019 in detail, what immediately catches your eye is that, in comparison with earlier cars, the car has a more modern body. At the same time, traditional elements of the company are clearly visible in some parts of the car.
To study in detail the design of the Ford Focus 3 station wagon, sedan and hatchback, produced in 2019, it is necessary to separately consider both the interior of the car and the body. It is important to note here that the appearance and design as a whole have nothing to do with the cost of the car. Thus, the price of the new Ford Focus is determined by other factors, such as technology, rather than by visual indicators.
You can evaluate the appearance of the car by viewing the corresponding photos.
Appearance
In general, thanks to the work of the designers, the third Ford Focus of 2019 received a more sporty body, demonstrating sophistication and power with its entire appearance. When creating a new car design, the Iosis Max prototype base was actively used.
It is important to note that externally the new Ford Focus has a large number of details reminiscent of the well-known Aston Martin car. As a rule, any motorist, or, especially, a professional critic, will immediately notice how much these two cars are similar to each other.
The following details deserve special attention in the new body:
- streamlined taillights;
- completely updated front end;
- new radiator grille;
- head optics modified in a modern way;
- relief contours stretching across the entire body of the car;
- adaptive bi-xenon headlights.
Among other things, the appearance of the third Ford Focus 2019 allows you not only to enjoy its elegant appearance, but also clearly demonstrates high levels of technology.
Considering all the positive reviews from professional critics and owners, we can say with confidence that the car fully lived up to its expectations. Today, the Ford Focus III enjoys the same worldwide popularity as its predecessors once did, despite its radically changed appearance, which, by the way, can be seen in the photo.
Interior decoration
It’s easy to guess that the big changes affected the interior design of the car rather than the body. Of course, externally the car has become more solid, but from the inside the car looks even more elegant and comfortable.
First of all, the changes concern the appearance of new interior elements, which, in combination, create internal comfort and technology. These may include elements such as:
- updated audio system with speakers throughout the cabin and support for all popular formats and devices;
- new SYNC 2 multimedia system equipped with an 8-inch touch screen;
- new multifunction steering wheel with Ford logo;
- socket for DVR;
- USB input between the gear lever and the dashboard, as well as under the armrest.
It is important to note that changes in the interior, for the most part, are associated precisely with the technological content of the car, rather than with its interior design. The price of a car depends, first of all, on the body type.
Technologies
Among other things, an equally important detail of the entire interior and, directly, manufacturability, is the system equipment of the new Ford Focus 3. Among the main functionality, the following systems deserve special attention:
- active blind spot diagnostic system (BLIS);
- warning system when leaving a parking space (Cross Traffic Alert);
- active braking system (Active City Stop);
- Active Park Assist system;
- Ford My Key technology, which allows you to perform additional settings;
- It is possible to activate the rear view camera.
An important nuance here is that each of the above-mentioned systems and technologies is available in every Ford Focus car, regardless of price and trim levels. Thus, as you can see, even a basic set of options allows you to experience all the sophistication of the new third generation Ford Focus.
Specifications
Each car from the third generation Ford Focus model range has a modern power unit. The engine that is installed in each car was designed specifically for the car line, regardless of the body and other aspects.
The engine is a 1.5-liter turbocharged power unit with the following power ratings:
- power – 150 l. With.;
- maximum speed – 210 km/h;
- acceleration to 100 km/h in 9.2. seconds;
- fuel consumption per 100 km – 6.7 liters.
In addition, the cars are equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, as well as a diesel robot “Power Shift”.
A corresponding photograph will help you evaluate the brutal power unit.
Notes
You should not lose sight of the fact that the updated Ford Focus 3, regardless of the body, has a rigid front suspension. The “My Key” system will allow you to independently program car parameters, for example, maximum speed, volume level, etc.
It is important to take into account that the car is adapted to Russian realities. Thus, it contains:
- sound insulation;
- resistance to cold climates;
- support for AI-92 gasoline fuel;
- navigation system with traffic jam display;
- high ground clearance;
- voice control of all systems with support for the Russian dialect.
Every car owner in Russia is pleased to emphasize that the 2019 Ford Focus station wagon, hatchback and sedan equally satisfy the needs of the driver and passengers, leaving only positive impressions.
The new Ford Focus with its entire appearance, predatory contours and low landing resembles a sports car. The interior trim, modern options and systems only enhance this impression, allowing the driver to feel like the pilot of a sports car. In addition to this, the latest technologies are applied for safety, comfort and entertainment on the road. All this, combined in one car, forms an economical, stylish and beautiful sports car, convenient for both long trips and daily trips around the city.
Exterior
This is a completely new level of design dynamics. The new Ford Focus is built on a low profile, which gives it speed and elegance, emphasizing every detail: from the restyled hood to the rounded rear optics. The body shape is thought out to the smallest detail not only to make the car beautiful, but also to improve aerodynamics, which reduces fuel consumption and improves car handling at high speeds on a country road.
Bi-xenon headlights
The elegant, recognizable shape is not the only advantage of these headlights. Powerful bi-xenon produces twice the bright luminous flux, unlike halogen, while consuming much less energy due to ignition units.
Front fog lights
The new Ford Focus model has bright and powerful fog lights, with which no weather conditions or poor visibility will become a problem for you.
LED running lights
LED running lights are integrated inside the bi-xenon headlights. Their combination makes the car look more elegant. The LEDs in them provide light of such intensity that the new Ford Focus with them is visible from afar even on the brightest sunny day.
Swift exterior
The Ford Focus is impossible to miss. The new, restyled body of the car simply attracts the eye with its understated silhouette and expressive contours of the optics. With the new body, the car's aerodynamics have improved, which in turn has improved handling and significantly reduced fuel consumption.
Interior
Every element of the interior is made at the highest level and gives the owner of a Ford Focus a pleasant feeling. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail and executed amazingly. High-quality seat stitching pleases the eye with clear seams and precise lines, and the soft materials of the dashboard and center console are very pleasant to the touch. We offer you 3 finishing options - fabric or partially leather trim, and to order - completely in leather.
Convenient center console
The first thing you notice is the beauty of the center console. But beauty is not the main thing, because its convenience and functionality should not be forgotten either. The console has a compartment for small items, which is equipped with a sliding lid. The armrest is movable so you can adjust it to suit you. In addition, 2 12 volt outputs are installed in the center console. The parking brake lever is elegant and located very well, without disturbing the overall harmony.
Quality of materials and workmanship
Every detail in the Ford Focus interior is made with the highest quality, regardless of the material you have chosen for yourself.
High precision finishing
the design as a whole has become more expressive and bold. Once inside the Focus, you will be able to appreciate the stylish interior, in which everything is perfect and
harmonious: colors, materials, shapes. This car is truly a pleasure to be in!
Decorative interior lighting
This option is included in the Titanium package. When the headlights are turned on, the interior is illuminated with a soft red light, which allows you to navigate the interior at night, but does not disturb the driver or distract from the road. Additionally, you can order a control module, which makes it possible to choose the color of the backlight from seven options, adjust its brightness, adjusting the atmosphere of the cabin the way you want. LEDs are installed in the handles, cup holders, door pockets, and front footwells.

Despite being less popular than hatchbacks and sedans, station wagons also invariably find their true connoisseurs and buyers in domestic auto markets. Considering the fact that sales volumes have noticeably decreased over the entire production period of this model, the new 2015 restyling arrived just in time to refresh and give new interest to the car from Russian car enthusiasts.
Absolutely the entire philosophy of universalists comes down to external simplicity, one might even say ordinariness. But these postulates have nothing to do with Ford Focus, models of which have always been distinguished by their special execution and clear expressiveness, while combining some features of more mobile body versions.
Restyling of the Ford Focus 3 Wagon station wagon. Review of Ford Focus 3 car.
Third version of Ford Focus Wagon was no exception to the rule, and after improvements she received a more corrected feed, and, not least important, the muzzle became more “adult”. This made it possible to make the car richer, more attractive and very interesting for all fans of the American giant's cars.
Considering the dimensions of the car, we can say that the length has remained the same and is 4556 mm, of the total number of which is given under the wheel arch - 2648 mm. The height of the car reaches 1505 mm. The width is 1823 mm. Which, in turn, sets it apart from all other similar body variations, but also brings some inconvenience to the functioning of aerodynamic systems. Depending on the engine installed under the hood, the weight of the car ranges from one thousand three hundred seven kilograms to one thousand three hundred sixty two.
The interior is designed in the classic style of a full sedan, which can accommodate up to five passengers at a time. It is worth highlighting those points that distinguish this salon from the inside of the sedan. Firstly, this is not much more free space on the second row of passenger seats, and secondly, the luggage compartment, which can accommodate from 476 liters in the base, and if you remove the rear seats, then the compartment will be for all 1502 liters of cargo and luggage.
Technical specifications Ford Focus 3 Station wagon
As in matters of interior, the engine classification is one hundred percent identical to the sedan version:
* 1.6 liter petrol engine. There are configuration options, both manual and automatic. The tandem of the engine and manual transmission allows you to reach a top speed of up to one hundred and eighty-seven kilometers per hour, provided that the first hundred appears on your speedometer in just over twelve seconds. The mixed operating cycle allows you to consume 6 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers.
* One hundred and twenty-five horsepower engine, with a volume of 1.6 liters. Works with both automatic and manual transmissions. When using an automatic robot, the first hundred kilometers on the speedometer are visible after 11.9 seconds, and the maximum speed is one hundred and ninety-three kilometers per hour. The manual transmission gives the first hundred in 11.1 seconds, and the maximum speed is three kilometers more than that of the robot, that is, 196 kilometers. Even in terms of fuel consumption, the manual is better, having four liters versus six in the combined operating cycle.
* In order for this classification to be perceived with a bang, the previous engine should also be mentioned. Previously, the car had a two-liter engine with 150 horsepower, equipped exclusively with a robotic gearbox. Such a unit gave the first hundred in nine and a half seconds, with a maximum output of two hundred kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption included no more than 6.4 liters. After restyling, this car model is not equipped with such a “device”.
* The engine is rightfully considered the flagship EcoBoost with a volume of one and a half liters, combined with a power of one hundred and fifty horsepower. Functioning that is only possible in a “friendly” company with a robotic gearbox. A more detailed description is given in the sedan review.
C1– an unchanged Ford platform, taken as a basis and Focus restyling, allowing the station wagon to be equipped with front-wheel drive combined with an independent suspension, the layout of which is very similar to that of a hatchback.
Equipment and cost of Ford Focus 3 Wagon
The Ford Focus 3 Wagon is available in two main variations:
* SYNK Edition;
* Titanium;
It is worth noting that the basic equipment of the station wagon is the same as in the sedan version. The pricing policy for the car, after hitting the shelves of car dealerships in the summer of 2015, will be eight hundred and forty thousand Russian rubles (this is for a 1.6 liter engine with a power of 150 horsepower, in combination with mechanics). The highest possible vehicle configuration will cost from one million forty five thousand Russian rubles.
The five-door Ford Focus 3 Wagon made its international debut in January 2010 at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, surpassing its predecessor in all respects.
Official sales of the car, including on the Russian market, began in May 2011, although its mass production was launched at the end of 2010.
In the spring of 2015, the restyled Ford Focus 3 station wagon was presented at the Geneva Auto Show, and it really changed seriously - its appearance and interior were corrected, the list of equipment offered was expanded, and new engines were added. It appeared in Russia after several months.
Exterior
From the outside, the new 2017-2018 Ford Focus 3 station wagon looks attractive, modern and moderately respectable, but does not attract too much attention - its appearance is too familiar on the roads.
Although there are plenty of interesting solutions in its design, just look at the front part, looking at those around with the piercing gaze of lighting equipment and the grinning “mouth” of the radiator grille a la Aston Martin.
And from other angles, the 3rd generation Ford Focus, despite its universal body, demonstrates harmonious outlines: an expressive, not devoid of dynamism, silhouette with a sloping roof, muscular wheel arches and a monumental stern, and a strong rear, on which graceful lights and a neat bumper are concentrated.
Salon
Inside, the 2017 Ford Focus 3 station wagon leaves an extremely positive impression, and this concerns not only the beautiful and stylish design, diluted with sporty notes, but also the quality of workmanship - the car’s interior is made of high-quality materials, and all its elements are perfectly matched to each other.
The voluminous front panel, although it takes up a lot of space, looks great - in the central part it is headed by an 8.0-inch multimedia system screen, below which there are laconic music controls and an elegant but complex microclimate unit.
The sculpted multifunctional steering wheel and the impressive, but not very convenient instrument cluster with abstruse bell shapes and an on-board computer display overloaded with information fit well into the interior decoration of the Focus III station wagon.
The 2016-2017 Ford Focus Station Wagon “apartment” cannot boast of an excess of free space, but all riders without exception will be at ease in the car (although only two can sit in the back).
The front seats of the model are perfectly profiled and equipped with wide adjustment intervals (in top versions, with electric drive). The shape of the second row of seats does not cause any complaints, and for greater convenience there is an armrest and cup holders.
Characteristics
In terms of its dimensions, the Ford Focus III Wagon belongs to the C-class according to the European classification: its overall length is 4,556 mm, of which 2,648 mm is the wheelbase, the height fits in at 1,505 mm, and the width does not go beyond 1,823 mm. When traveling, the station wagon weighs from 1,473 to 1,655 kg, depending on the version.
The trunk of the Ford Focus 3 station wagon is average by segment standards - its volume does not exceed 476 liters in standard condition. The back of the rear sofa is transformed into several asymmetric sections, which increases the volume of the cargo compartment to 1,502 liters. In the niche under the raised floor there is a defective spare tire and a set of tools.
On the Russian market, the 2017 Ford Focus station wagon is available with two four-cylinder gasoline engines. The first option is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine with distributed injection, developing 105 or 125 horsepower (150 or 159 Nm of rotational potential, respectively), the second is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with direct “feed”, producing 150 liters .With. and 240 Nm of peak torque.
Atmospheric units work in conjunction with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed PowerShift robot, and the most powerful power plant comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The utility version of the Ford Focus station wagon is built on a front-wheel drive platform with a transversely based engine and extensive use of high-strength steel in the body structure.
At the front, the car is equipped with an independent MacPherson-type suspension system, and at the rear – a multi-link architecture. All wheels of the car are equipped with disc brakes, which are supplemented with ventilation in the front part.
Regardless of the modification, the five-door sports a rack-and-pinion steering complex with electric power steering and progressive characteristics.
Price in Russia
The Ford Focus 3 Wagon station wagon is sold in Russia in four trim levels: Trend, Trend Plus, Ultra Comfort and Titanium. The price of the Ford Focus 3 station wagon 2019 varies from 1,113,000 to 1,510,500 rubles.
Greetings to all, dear subscribers!
I haven’t written anything here for a long time, but I finally decided to write a detailed observation and comparison with the previous car!
I will break my observation into several points for better understanding. Once again I want to remind you that the logbook is personal and here I am expressing an exclusively personal opinion.
Exterior, interior and everything related to car design
I fell in love with the car when I first met it and is still remembered!
The Ford designers are of course great fellows, since I didn’t like the 3 Focus at all.
The interior has also been slightly improved. Everything is clear and looks nice, although it tends to get dirty and squeak on bumps (I think I’ll have to return to this more than once).
For the design I give it 5-. Minus for the rear of the sedan. Somehow it didn't turn out very well. It was prettier even on the pre-Restyle.
Comfort, capacity, convenience
Let's start with sound insulation.
Still, if you compare it with the previous car (Opel Astra j), the Shumka is worse and noticeably worse. At a speed of 90 km/h it becomes no longer comfortable to communicate in a car. On Astra j this happened above 120 km/h.
p.s. Although there is a caveat here, the bottom of the Astra was filled with liquid Shumka in the cabin.
Compared to the pre-Restayl, the Shumka has become better.
Trunk capacity... it's definitely a pain. I don’t even want to write too much here. The most uncomfortable trunk I've ever seen. Very small opening. Transporting anything more or less large is simply not realistic. Although according to the numbers the trunk is larger than that of a hatchback, in reality this is not the case. The first time I noticed this was when I couldn’t fit more than two R16 wheels into the trunk... It might be convenient to carry something long and not wide (for example, plasma), but I haven’t had to yet.
p.s. On the Astra j hatchback, 4 R17 wheels easily fit into the trunk in a standing position.
In terms of convenience, everything here is quite up to par.
You quickly get used to everything. I quickly got used to even the inferior keyless access; it does not provide any convenience when you don’t take the key out of your pocket at all, but do everything by touch. And here you also need to point out the only plus of the sedan trunk, which is opening it with a button :)
At first I cursed at the seats a lot, after a long trip my lower back hurt a lot, but fortunately it went away. Apparently it's a matter of habit.
Engine, dynamics, consumption, ground clearance
Probably the most interesting for many.
The 1.6 125 engine with PS is quite enough for the city; the needle usually does not rise above 3 thousand. True, above 3 thousand there is no point in raising it, there is only a lot of sound. On long trips, the lack of traction is already felt quite well; confident overtaking at speeds over 120 is forgotten like a bad dream.
If there is no need for overtaking, then the car feels confident at speeds of under 190 km/h according to the speedometer (gps 170 km/h). I don't want to go faster anymore.
The steering is also quite adequate and understandable, zero feels great, you don’t have to steer while driving, there was some kind of problem with this in the previous car.
At first I was very confused by it, the car looks more like a crossover than a city sedan, it’s very jacked up! Compared to the Kia Ceed, it is one and a half times higher! But over time I got quite used to it. And in winter it turns out to be very convenient! For the summer, of course, I want it lower, but this is possible later. There you can also look for R18 wheels for the summer.
I would also like to write about engine vibrations.
Yes, they are. The engine can be felt quite strongly, put your hand on the hood and you will understand everything. I noticed that many people find fault with the vibration at idle when releasing the gas (some have more, some have less). They just exist and that's all.
I checked this vibration on 3 cars, all of them had it. As for me, the question is not worth the candle. Apparently this is a feature of this engine.
Here's a story about the new Ford Focus 3. It has its advantages in terms of design and its disadvantages in terms of capacity and sound insulation.
Among the modifications to the car, I’m starting to think about the underbody noise, although now I’ll change the shoes for the summer, but we’ll see.
So far I have just activated the automatic door locking. Thank you very much Zhenya. Well, I tinted the rear of the car.
See you again!
p.s. As soon as it gets warmer there will definitely be a photoshoot!
I completely forgot. Many people were interested in the expense. My average consumption was 8.1-8.2 liters per 100 km. At an average speed of 28 km/h.
