根据最新报道，福特将在两周后开幕的第84届日内瓦车展展示2014款福克斯改款车。今年是现行版福克斯投产的第三年，而第三代福克斯将采用福特家族最新的家族前脸，包括阿斯顿马丁风格格栅和新的前大灯及保险杠。而车身造型其他部分则基本没有变化，只是有一些细微调整，主要是后保险杠和尾灯组。更显著的变化发生在车厢内，中控台进行了重新设计，按键数量更少以创造一个更简洁的中控台布局。至于动力系统，新车仍与老款车共享相同动力系统，但福特计划增加一台1.5升EcoBoost汽油引擎和1.5升柴油引擎。此外，旧引擎也将进一步升级以降低二氧化碳排放量，提升燃油经济性。福特公司还将开发福克斯插电混动版以应对大众近日发布的高尔夫GTE插电混动版，这款车将与C-MAX插电混动版共享相同混动技术。顶级的福克斯ST版本也将进行相同的外观改款，但将比现行版更突出侵略性。同时其转向、底盘和悬挂将进行改进。不过，该车搭载的2.0升四缸EcoBoost引擎功率仍为184千瓦/250马力，扭矩360牛米。

 

2014 Ford Focus facelift coming to Geneva

A new report indicates Ford will showcase the refreshed Focus lineup in about two weeks at the 84th Geneva Motor Show.

 

Now in its third year of production, the third generation of the Focus will adopt Ford's most recent corporate front fascia with an Aston Martin-inspired grille along with a new set of headlights and bumper. The rest of the exterior styling will be left virtually untouched except for some minor tweaks of the rear bumper and taillights. More obvious changes will be inside the cabin where the redesigned center console will host fewer buttons to create a less cluttered layout.

 

In terms of motorization, the Focus facelift will be offered with the same engines as the current model but Ford plans on adding a 1.5-liter EcoBoost gasoline motor along with a 1.5-liter diesel. In addition, existing engines will be further updated to slash CO2 emissions and improve fuel economy. The Blue Oval company is also reportedly working on a plug-in Focus to take on the recently unveiled Golf GTE and will use the hybrid technology of the plug-in C-MAX.

 

The range-topping ST derivative will carry the same styling tweaks but it will look a bit more aggressive than today's model, while steering, chassis and suspension will be revised. However, output of the 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine will remain at 250 HP (184 kW) and 360 Nm (265 lb-ft).
