Some time ago, PT Ford Motor Indonesia launched a New Ford Focus. Small change (minor change) is the second complete Focus that has been present in Indonesia since September 2005. Changes in the light of the new Focus is the front face.

According to the Marketing Director of PT Ford Motor Indonesia (FMI), Davy Tuilan, the new version of the design elements kinetik. This looks at the trapesium under the large front bumper, which is becoming a trend in the car and sedan Hatchback today. Other changes are gril bonnet and the top has a larger Ford logo.

Minor change in this time, FMI provides five variants. Four of them are 4D (4 door / four door) 2.0L AT Ghia, 5D AT Sport 2.0L, 2.0L AT Comfort 5D, and 5D AT 1.8L TDCi Comfort. Fourth Duratec engine uses fuel based gasoline. Gasoline engine, the car is available in eight color choices also has variants 5D AT Sport 2.0L TDCi engine that mengusung based Duratorq diesel fuel.

FMI decision jail diesel engine to the acceleration in the six New Ford Focus is a brave decision. Because, during this diesel sedan market in Indonesia get less response. Different things when talking about the SUV (sport utility vehicle), MPV (multi purpose vehicle) and double Cabin. May not re-issued Toyota Fortuner Diesel or General Motors Diesel Captiva released, if the market did not want.

During this famous diesel engine noise, vibrate hard, and dense black smoke. Therefore, there is rarely a car you want to have a diesel plant. Moreover, for the comfort of a sedan. This fact does not appear to have broken the manufacturer to make charcoal. Evidence, a lot of diesel engine technology development.

New Ford Focus for example. In cars that are only available in automatic transmission technology is different dibenamkan to drive in comfort. Not only that, but is also equipped with a large and economical fuel.

One technology that dibenamkan is TDCi Turbodiesel equipped with a double power shift clutch (DCPS). The usual call Ford DCPS as Powershift. DCPS is a transmission system that uses two clutch. By doing so, shift the transmission can be done with more mulus. ''This technology, combining the benefits of manual and automatic transmission. So the car can be more responsive but still fine when the transmission switch,''Davy said.

FMI claim, with this technology, New Ford Focus is able to glide from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 9.6 seconds. As a comparison, 2.0 liter gasoline engine that used the Focus torsi 185 rpm with a power Nm/4.500 PS 145 in 6000 rpm. While the engine dieselnya able to torsi reaches 320 rpm with a power Nm/2.000 PS 136 in 4000 rpm. Terrible, torsi was obtained in the lower rounds.

Thus, the consumption of the fuel so more economical. Ford claims, diesel engine made in Europe is able to reach 17.2 km per liter. When dites''by the journalist with the Jakarta-Bandung route, fuel consumption is able to reach 17.8 km per liter,''Davy said.

For convenience, the car is equipped with Electronic Stability Program (ESP) to help edit the obstacles on the road. With this technology, drivers can maintain stability in all situations the car driving. In addition to using the ABS (anti-lock Braking system) and electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), Ford also install automatic emergency light Braking. This allows the hazard lights will flash when the brake directly diinjak a sudden.

New Ford Focus released with prices starting Rp 240 million to Rp 337 million for gasoline engines. While for the diesel engine, dibandrol the price of Rp 329 million. FMI target can sell the unit at least 300 New Ford Focus up to the end of 2009. This is equivalent to 2-3 percent of the market-Car C (compact car). To dieselnya''variants, we estimate could reach 10-20 percent or more of total sales New Ford Focus,''Davy please. Fai
