Two new engines for the 2014 Ford Fiesta
2014 ford fiesta In preparation for the auto show in Los Angeles, Ford unveiled two new engines that will be shipped in its subcompact Fiesta. This city will thus his proposal to spend three mills. It became suddenly, second car (with Smart) to be offered in our market with a mechanical three-cylinder. Performance enthusiasts will fall back on the ST, a more offender who target the Mini Cooper S.
Fiesta model year 2014 will then grow its catalog of options to make it very competitive. Its range of engines, the most comprehensive segment, will in theory to bridge the gap between the two poles of fuel economy and performance. The four-cylinder 1.6-liter (120 hp) which équipait since its debut in North America is in the plans.
The arrival of the three-cylinder turbocharged EcoBoost family member appears surprising at first sight. A small displacement for a continent that is still in love with large volumes, there seems to be lost in this mode of downsizing. On paper, however, the decision is expected. With a capacity of 1 liter, it is barely more powerful than the four-cylinder entry-level (123 hp), but there is more torque (148 lb-ft) with a more sober and consumption would fall by low of 5.8 litres/100 km on average according to Ford.
T, meanwhile, has a very different mandate, but equally important for the sustainability of the model. This version focuses on the dynamic aspect of the Fiesta. It is driven by another creation belonging to the clan Ecoboost, a four-cylinder 1.6 liter turbo delivering 197 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque (at 3500 rpm). The recipe is already salivating, especially if we take into account improvements to the chassis and its plumage is entitled to special treatment like its big brother, the Focus ST.

IN FORD'S 1-LITER CAR THROUGH THE LUNCH BREAK
Berlin - rush hour in the morning rush hour in the evening and in between a lot of traffic. Throughout Berlin that is quite normal. During the lunch break times quickly perceive an appointment in Potsdam? This quickly becomes a test of nerves. As well, if the car is a Ford Focus with 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine. Which is soothing, without being boring.
SHEET & SHAPE
What stands out the Focus? It is normal. Unless he wears the color Olive Mustard Yellow Metallic.Olive and mustard. Yes, one can argue about taste, even with the color.The 5-door is 4.36 meters long and 2.01 meters wide. Basically, a typical compact car that looks good, but from the one at the back looks bad. Remedy the parking sensors, and on request of the perfectly functioning parking assistant (Active Park Assist): Press the button, past the gap, hands off the wheel and pure.
CASES & SPACE
The interior of the Titanium features works well made and sturdy. Pleasure in the silver-gray plastic elements in the center console in the newsroom but anyone. Front and back, you sit comfortably in the Focus, but somehow crooked.The basic position of the adjustable steering wheel, forcing me to sit crooked.
The steering wheel should feel sporty, but forcing many bumps the driver to continuously Quarter-to-three position. So be it, but it would be nicer with less compulsion.
The trunk swallows a compact normal 363 liters. With rear seats folded, the storage space grows to 1148 liters (VW Golf: 380-1270 liters).
POWER & SOURCE
Focus is the right little swallow with the first three-cylinder. The 97-pound mini-engine was widely praised and honored. But is it really that good?The answer: Who would not know it, is not alone in tapping of three cylinders. It's good at first. But who knows who is impressed. And that's great. The three pots go to tangy, with a good start from the bottom. From 1,500 rpm to be the 170 Nm of torque. The fear that the mini-motor is too weak volatilized to the step on the accelerator. Response and pulling power of the turbos are impressive. It might be hidden psychology, but 12.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h feel in Ford's 1-liter car at amazingly fast.
Turbo lag does not know the direct injection.And no annoying vibrations. For this, a specially balanced flywheel provides instead a balance shaft. Which does its job very well.
On the portion of the highway between Berlin and Potsdam radiates the fine, small focus motor - and the driver with beaming. 185 km / h top. With a little start Wow. However, one wishes for six courses. This gives you additional savings potential only in stronger Ecoboost Focus: The 25 hp and has a gear costs more, but at least 20,200 euros (including trend equipment). Our economy version has to be content with five gears.
A basic rule for gasoline engines can not change this fleet three-pot engine. Who calls 100 hp, the fuel must be injected. Frantically moved into the city, the Eco Boost approved with a start / stop system 8.4 instead of the specified 5.9-liter (urban). The NEDC combined fuel consumption of 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers can be reached only with extreme caution.
DRIVING & FUN
Ford dominated the topic chassis. In Focus The situation is normal, but basically it belongs to the best that is incorporated in this class. This was the predecessor so and has only improved here.Often criticized and also annoying: the use of multimedia and Naviabteilung. Too many buttons to smaller screen and intuitive one engages only after the manual. Otherwise, is it possible not to pair his phone. Has the once folded, forget the hassle again quickly.
The beauty of our test car: You quickly get used to the plethora of gadgets: parking assist, hill start assist, lane assist, blind-spot warning and traffic sign recognition provide worry-free gliding. The personal Lieblingsgimmick the author: Will it next to the car when parking at a premium, when you open the door moves out a rubber lip and rests protectively on their threatened edge. So what every parent.
END & JUDGMENT
After a few days the focus might think the car is boring. It is more like the perfect partner. Always there, reliable, and then he does all still pretty much. It is probably the fate of a car that is as unobtrusive well. And good is this focus, a lot.17,550 euros may not be a bargain, are the savings Focus but adequate. Anyway: For 24,000 Euros, there is the Focus Eco-Boost in Carefree Package including Titanium features, driver assistance package and business package.Similar equipment costs in Wolfsburg more cost.Ford Focus ST Comparison Test against Golf GTI in the U.S.
Ford Focus ST Comparison: In the U.S., the new Focus ST 2013er with the 2012 GTI has been compared. The market offers other alternatives in this segment, but so far there is only one undisputed crown support, the Golf GTI. Who makes a new car in the sporty compact class to the wheels must be measured precisely in this king. Ford tried it now with the Focus ST. The ST was in almost all areas offer better and won in the end clearly that comparison. That is surely not only in the dream-drive unit. The new 2.0-liter EcoBoost (250 hp) delivers in all situations better performance than the somewhat dated 2.0-liter VW. Better the features of the ST. We want only the best Recaro sport seats and much better navigation / entertainment system, call in addition to a whole bunch of features.
No question the 2012er GTI is no longer at the height of the time, the seventh generation of the GTI is in the starting blocks. It is difficult to say whether the new values are then sufficient wear again in the future to the crown in this car segment. Today, however, and that's a fact, it contributes to the Ford Focus ST. In almost all areas tested the new ST is simply better. He is the more modern, more efficient car. The future will show whether the projection of the ST-rich will keep the crown permanently.

Ford Mustang: 50th Anniversary Edition for rumors
The Ford Mustang is one of the icons of U.S. cars and can look back with its launch in 1964 has a long history. 2014 this story is probably honored with a new special edition for the 50th anniversary.
It is more specifically a 2014 ½ Ford Mustang, as the first Ford Mustang was just a 1964 ½.The name has its origins in the former product cycle. Because at the time of the Ford Mustang, the models were annually thrown on the market in January. The Ford Mustang was introduced in April, but only to the public, which is why he was called 1964 ½.
Whether there will be a special edition for the 50th anniversary is not yet officially confirmed. Who the 35 -, 40 - and 45-year anniversary rolls out a special model is also the 50th Birthday of the iconic not miss. Interestingly, therefore, the question is, when exactly is the model and the basis on which it is created. Initial reports claimed that the new generation of the Ford Mustang, the 2015 will leave the workshops, with an anniversary edition is ready to go.
Now other sources want but have learned from business circles that in mid 2014, the special edition of the Ford Mustang will be on the market. This would fit much better in time, but raises the question of the design. It is conceivable, namely, that the anniversary edition is presented in the style of the new generation. More likely, however, that Ford holds to the current design. Want more details, but not before giving it to the Detroit Motor Show in mid-January.

[/caption]The current generation is a 1998 Jimny - only the third since the model appeared in 1968. While still preparing a new generation, which will be based on the concept of Alpha XA, shown in the last Hall of New Delhi, Suzuki made a little redesign for 2013 jeep urban lines. For now, the changes will be limited to the European market. This model has a new hood and grill, now separated, and a new bumper and fog lamps.
[caption id="attachment_1866" align="aligncenter" width="580" caption="Suzuki Jimny 2013 presented at the European 3"]
[/caption]The Japanese decided to keep the inside of the jeep, limiting the options for a new blanket. Compact utility is produced in Spain and is equipped with a 1.3 16V petrol engine of 84 horsepower, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and all wheel drive with low. The old diesel engine 86 hp, supplied by Renault, no longer appears in the Jimny, the restrictions imposed by the new emissions standards in Europe.
[caption id="attachment_1863" align="aligncenter" width="580" caption="Suzuki Jimny 2013 presented at the European 4"]
[/caption]The Jimny is sold by Suzuki in Brazil brought from Japan, with 1.3 engine of 84 hp and AWD. The jeep had to win the national production line later this year. More likely is that this model is manufactured in an assembly line Group Souza Ramos Catalan (GO) which has been making cars from Mitsubishi. Many components will be provided by the MVC, a company specializing in plastic products belong to Marcopolo. Parts such as bumpers are made of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene composite length.
