Thread: 2012 Ford Focus SFE-Ford se osredotoča na 40 mpg

Štirideset zdi, da je čarobno število kot auto proizvajalci še enkrat videli stranke vedno zainteresirani ekonomičnosti porabe goriva, še enkrat.

Auto proizvajalci z avtomobili v svoje flote, ki lahko prinesejo 40mpg so touting dejstvo, kot je cena za galono bencina zleze do 4 $ galono.

EPA izdal uradne številke danes za 2012 Ford Focus SFE in ustreza Fiesta SFE in Hyundai Elantra z oceno gospodarstvo avtocesti 40 mpg. Seveda, več hibridov in dizelske motorje, ki so dobili kot dobro ali bolje kilometrine, ampak 40 mpg v rednih bencinskim avto je zelo impresivno.

Da bi povečali poudarek gospodarstvo, motor parili z najnovejšo suho sklopko šeststopenjskim menjalnikom Ford PowerShift samodejno. Ford trdi sam prenos pomaga zmanjšati porabo goriva do 9 odstotkov v primerjavi s tradicionalno štiri stopenjski sekvenčni.

Ford Focus SFE paket tudi vključuje 16-palčna jeklena platišča s aero kolesa zajema, aktivno rešetka polkna, visokim izkoristkom pnevmatike, štirikolesnih disk zavore, zadnji spojler in posebno SFE značko.

Poudarek SFE zaposluje polno aktivni rešetka rolete, ki pomagajo optimizirali aerodinamiko z uporabo zračniki za nadzor pretoka zraka skozi rešetko v hladilni sistem in motor prostor. Če zrak za hlajenje motorja, pa so odprli zračnike. Če ni pretok zraka je potrebno zračniki so zaprta, prispeva k bistveno zmanjšati zračni upor.

Forty seems to be the magic number as auto manufacturers once again see customers becoming interested in fuel economy, once again.

Auto manufacturers with cars in their fleet that can deliver 40mpg are touting the fact as the price of a gallon of gasoline creeps up to $4 a gallon.

EPA released official figures today for the 2012 Ford Focus SFE and it matches the Fiesta SFE and Hyundai Elantra with a highway economy rating of 40 mpg. Of course, several hybrids and diesels get as good or better mileage, but 40 mpg in a regular gasoline powered car is pretty impressive.

In order to maximize the Focus economy, the engine is mated with the latest dry-clutch six-speed Ford PowerShift automatic transmission. Ford claims the transmission alone helps to reduce fuel consumption by up to 9 percent compared to a traditional four-speed automatic.

The Ford Focus SFE package also includes 16-inch steel wheels with aero wheel covers, active grille shutters, high-efficiency tires, four-wheel disc brakes, rear spoiler and a special SFE badge.

The Focus SFE employs full active grille shutters, which help optimize aerodynamics by using vents to control airflow through the grille to the cooling system and engine compartment. If air is required to cool the engine, the vents are opened. If no airflow is needed the vents are shut, contributing to significantly reduced aerodynamic drag.
