I picked up my new Vignale Focus yesterday - loving it. I like how the dashboard is much flatter than the previous model Focus's - gives you a much better and wider view of the car's front and the immediate road space around the car.

Does this version get independent rear suspension or torsion beam like the 125ps?

At the Front Suspension you get Independent McPherson Coil Springs & Anti-roll bar. At the rear, you have Multilink, Coil Springs & Anti-roll bar!

@@UnlimitedAuto so, over 150hp there is multilink at the rear?

[@davidtaylor4832]

@@UnlimitedAuto there is no multi-link suspension at the rear, there not enough available space for that and Multi-link is too expensive to produce for a Fiesta. All Fiesta's have trailing arm's linked by a "Twist Beam" torsion bar. The coil springs and dampers are separate from each other, again, insufficient space for co-axial "Coil-over's". It's a simple rear system but Ford makes it work quite well.

[@e7234]

This month i make 2 years with my focus active 155mhev 6 speed manual. The car is just amazing. In comparison to the stline it feels more comfortable over bumpy roads but less likely for rapid changes in directions. As far for the engine it has been a blast. It really pulls when you go over 5000 rpm. Mid range is perfect for the engine (2500-4500 rpm). The electric motor does help in the accelerations but only until 5000 rpm then it is disconnected. 80-120 in 25.000km is still around 6 seconds in 3rd. sometimes faster other times a little slower. 80-120 on 4th takes 7.2 seconds but these depend a lot on the battery level. If there is no battery the car could take up to 8 seconds in 4th gear compared to the 7.2. Consumptions has been great. For urban driving moving around 6.5 in winter and 6.8 in summer it's amazing (no start stop + air conditioning always running). Yep, great car recommended by far as a reliable car. I've had other fiesta 1.0 ecoboost and the 2021 mhev version is more refined. The engine has almost to non vibrations. In comparison to previous models the change is HUGE! Comparing PUMA and Focus i'd go for the focus. there is a lo more horizon space and longitudinal between the 1st and second row. You get a better car for the same money. The other focus ecoboost i know is the one that is still running and has more than 140.000 km with zero problems. that model was from 2012 with the old engines with the wet belt. Those are the ones that should be avoided in theory. The new gen has a timing chain + wet belt for auxiliary stuff. Must have equipment: 1. ADAPTIVE LED > LED > halogen. Get the adaptive led they are so worth it. it feels like driving during the day and also they turn mid corner in comparison to the "normal" led lights. 2. Winter pack with heated windshield. once you try it there is no going back 3. Bang And Olufsen speakers. The basic ones are good but for 300€ difference the bang and olufsen sound great. Literally like day and night difference.

[@IronDrummer91]

Is the difference in performance noticeable in comparison to the eco boost 1.0 125 (non hybrid) - how would you describe the difference?

[@UnlimitedAuto]

Hello Anthony, The difference is that the engine doesn’t turn off while driving. Sure, you feel that you have less power than the 155HP version (but only when you drive aggressively). While daily driving it’s not that big of a difference! If you want a Focus for the rest of your life, this is the right decision. If you want to change it in a few years, go for the 125HP version! 😄

[@e7234]

I have tried both on the same day. The 155 gets more torque which you can easily feel. The difference is even more noticeable because as well you have more power the gears are shorter. This means that the car gets a really punchy acceleration compared to the 125hp 170nm. The mild hybrid only helps on low rpm and for the top end hard acceleration it barely even functions. If i had to chose which engine goes in my car i'd take the 155 over the 125 because you'll be more secure when overtaking cars or trucks. The punchy acceleration combined with the shorter gears shaves off like 3 seconds from 80-120 from the base model.

[@IronDrummer91]

@@e7234 thanks - ah man - I got mine before the mild hybrids were announced / launched. I definitely feel the lack of power on highway slip roads / overtaking (unless I keep it above 3,000rpm in 3rd gear to overtake). You have to really have it in the high-end revs. How about 155 over the petrol ST? I know on paper the ST is double power but in real life day to day ?

[@domenick94]

I'd love to buy it but I wonder If the 3 cylinder engine 1.0 is enough. I never had experience with these kind of engines, I wouldn't feel the lack of power on slops etc., you know that feeling, with your car struggling while driving... Isn't this engine too little? Unfortunately I have no opportunities to try it...

[@UnlimitedAuto]

Hello Domenico! It’s normal to think that way. We still can’t believe how good it actually is! It always “beg for more”, and when you look at your speed, you are waaaay above the limit 😅. Is doesn’t feel like you have a 1.0 engine. It feels like a 1.5 at least! Hope I could help you, this was the most honest answer 😄.

[@joseluisestevez4263]

Would you know how much the car consumes on the highway? 120-130kph? I think the 6th gear is too short. Don't you think so? I appreciate your answer.

[@UnlimitedAuto]

You can do around 5.5L - 6.0L. Yes it’s a bit short but petrol engines tend to have high revs at “low” speed. Diesel engines have longer gears. However, it’s pretty good!

[@joseluisestevez4263]

[@mikerelvas]

How would you compare the 1.0 EcoBoost 155 MHEV to the conventional 1.0 EcoBoost 125 in terms of overall performance? Great content, keep it up! Abraço.

[@UnlimitedAuto]

Olá Miguel! Vou assumir através do teu nome, que posso responder em Português 😅. Felizmente já conseguimos testar os dois, e são comportamentos um pouco semelhantes mas também diferentes. Isto é, quando conduzimos devagar e sem grandes acelerações, parecem o mesmo motor. A grande diferença é principalmente na aceleração/desportividade que conseguimos extrair deste motor. É muito mais disponível, mais alma em subir as rotações e conseguimos sentir que é mais potente. Sentimos que acrescenta a última peça de puzzle que faltava ao de 125CV! A nível de consumos rondam praticamente o mesmo (este consome ligeiramente mais). Se vale a pena a diferença dos 30 cavalos? : - Sim, se nunca quiseres que te falte alguma coisa do motor. - Não, se tiveres uma rotina maioritariamente dentro da cidade e não queres saber para nada das acelerações e bater recordes dos 0-100km/h. Espero ter ajudado! 😊 Um grande abraço e boas festas!

[@mikerelvas]

@@UnlimitedAuto Obrigado desde já pela resposta! Como reparei que o canal tem público a comentar em inglês, não quis criar uma barreira linguística de forma a manter uma interação fluída nos comentários. Eu comprei o meu Focus MK4 em dezembro de 2019. Era modelo de showroom, construído em setembro de 2019 e, infelizmente, ainda não estavam disponíveis as novas motorizações MHEV na altura. Confesso que apesar de achar o 1.0 EcoBoost 125 um motor muito competente, o meu lado petrolhead pede sempre mais. Quando saiu esta nova motorização, que utiliza o 1.0 EcoBoost 140 - o turbo é ligeiramente maior e é daí que vêm as maiores diferenças - combinado com o sistema de 48 volts, fiquei um pouco desiludido com o meu timing na compra do carro porque foi uma fase em que a Ford decidiu fazer uma espécie de mid-cycle refresh ao Focus MK4. Como mencionaste, acredito que o MHEV de 155 cv seja a cereja no topo do bolo para esta motorização. Com isto dito, a essência do Focus está toda lá - um carro dinâmico e muito divertido de conduzir, com uma boa lista de equipamento e uma excelente relação preço-qualidade. Continua com o excelente conteúdo e obrigado mais uma vez pela resposta. Continuação de Boas Festas!

Not convinced this engine has enough power and especially torque to get the most out of the chassis. There is too much gap now between this 155hp and the ST, at least to me.
