執行緒： 派單做巴西： 福特 Ka 簡要歷史

謠言有它的新福特 Ka 今年將從 3 月起發售。老郭家的生產已接近結束，如 Zetec Rocam 發動機也已終止 (和因而老巴西市場福特嘉年華是可能已經死了)。在推出，新 Ka 將完全跟 1。5 西格瑪引擎和 1。0，三個油缸，基於 EcoBoost 發動機。謠言有它它將是最強大的 1。0 發動機在巴西，並因此將提供大約 82 小馬。
圖片顯示在巴西新聞網站上，uol.com。br 在工廠板沿上什麼網站稱為最後國際雪聯批准測試新福特嘉年華中顯示新的鉀。新 Ka 坐 （稱為 B） 在同一全球平臺上作為它的兄弟。報告顯示新 Ka 將作為長作為福特嘉年華，但更高和更寬敞比其同級。然而，它將能更便宜，比目前的 Ka，雖然昂貴至少在開始階段。轎車版也是在工作，和間諜圖片已採取它在密歇根州我們自己羅尼施賴貝爾。嘉華轎車最終可能會使用在拉丁美洲的護送名稱。
新 Ka 雖然在配套的時尚是一個福特戰略的一部分。最初，它將在巴西、 印度和中國生產。福特的德國然而汽車發展，廣泛參與了車證明是成功的如果它最終能找到路到西歐。
在巴西，這輛車在 1997 年，發起了只是六個月後歐洲。在巴西，它使用了兩種變體的肯特引擎，1。3 和 1。0.與更大的發動機 Ka 封頂在 155 公里雖然更小單位的 20 秒內就一根頭髮了才會到 100 km/h。在其他國家，設計引發了車裡的愛恨關係和左少漠不關心。面對這輛車是因為他是真正的困難和法律上四座之一。185 L 後備箱也是比競爭對手小很多。在一個國家中都經常使用契約作為家庭轎車，它永遠不是最大的賣方，但做了上訴對那些人理解它的樣式和享受誠實向上帝，好玩的車到磁碟機。
在 2000 年的老肯特引擎被廢除了，車子的新 1。6 和 1。0 Zetec Rocam 發動機。更大的引擎現在插著德國國旗 96 hp 和剛剛超過 10 秒，使它名副其實口袋火箭能到 100 km/h。1。0 撞到高達 65 馬力 — — 競爭為它的類。
2002 年，第一次重大的重新設計。獨佔巴西，它改變了前面略和後面變得更具吸引力 (對大多數反正） 加上的大燈和玻璃環繞。這種方式，拉丁美洲和歐洲的 Ka 之間分離成為了官方，他們再也不相同。
之後在巴西自身軌跡，福特完全重新演繹了 Ka 2008 年。Ka 增長了將近 8 英寸，得到了更大的樹幹，現在可以容納 5 名乘客。這種新設計證明受到巴西和銷售再次起飛。雖然這主要歸功於新的設計，事實上是福特已經熟視無睹車開出來。內部是現在多刻薄的材質，它簡化了機械。它失去了前防傾杆，額葉的子幀，彈簧被強硬起來彌補，總之，車失去了它真正的駕駛樂趣的魔力。它現在是最便宜的車，在巴西。
在 2012 年，最後的謝幕來了 Ka。它收到了新的前面和福特改變背光。福特推出新福特嘉年華在巴西，老一代福特嘉年華，現在由於福特嘉年華 Rocam 被降級，變得更加便宜。時 50 個月融資 （標準在巴西） 考慮在內，福特嘉年華 Rocam 略比嘉貴，提供了四個門和更多的空間。
現在福特希望新 Ka 將有它需要爭鬥出來在 3 萬的真實標記。這意味著它已經離開底層的市場，將不得不自己對付重量級如多年生的最佳賣方大眾 Gol，菲亞特派力奧，雪佛蘭 Onix，現代 HB 20，豐田 Etios 除其他外。新福特嘉年華已命中在巴西，考慮到聞所未聞的高度在巴西市場的福特嘉年華銘牌。如果新 Ka 賣名列前 10 的永久居留，福特可能會發現自己慢慢走向真正的大三在巴西市場 (菲亞特、 通用汽車和大眾) 而且還不用擔心被超越的不知天高地厚的像雷諾和現代人已具有挑戰性的渡口，由現在的傳統，第四次發生在巴西。

The rumors have it that the new Ford Ka will be on sale as of March this year. Production of the old Ka has come to a close as the Zetec Rocam engines have also been terminated (and thus the old Brazil-market Fiesta is probably dead as well). At launch, the new Ka will come exclusively with a 1. 5 Sigma engine and a 1. 0, three cylinder, EcoBoost-based engine. Rumors have it that it will be the most powerful 1. 0 engine in Brazil and will thus have to provide around 82 ponies.
Pictures shown on a Brazilian news site, uol.com. br, show the new Ka in factory plates along a new Fiesta on what the site called final homologation tests. The new Ka sits on the same global platform (called B) as its brother. Reports suggest the new Ka will be as long as the Fiesta, but higher and roomier than its sibling. However, it will be cheaper, though more expensive than the current Ka, at least initially. A sedan version is also in the works, and spy pictures have been taken of it in Michigan by our own Ronnie Schreiber. The Ka sedan could end up using the Escort name in Latin America.
The new Ka is part of the One Ford strategy, though in an ancillary fashion. Initially, it will be produced in Brazil, India and China. Ford of Germany however had extensive participation in the cars development, and if the car proves successful, it could eventually find its way into Western Europe.
In Brazil, the car was launched in 1997, just six months after Europe. In Brazil, it used two variants of the Kent engine, a 1. 3 and a 1. 0. With the bigger engine the Ka topped out at 155 km/h while the smaller unit took a hair under 20 seconds to get to 100 km/h. As in other countries, the design provoked a love-hate relationship to the car and left few indifferent. One of the difficulties this car faced was that it was truly and legally a four seater. The 185L trunk was also considerably smaller than the competitors. In a country were compacts are often used as family cars, it was never the biggest seller, but did appeal to those who understood its style and enjoyed an honest to God, fun car to drive.
In 2000 the old Kent engines were done away with and the car got the new 1. 6 and 1. 0 Zetec Rocam engines. The larger engine now sported 96 hp and could get to 100 km/h in just over 10 seconds, making it a veritable pocket rocket. The 1. 0 got a bump to a whopping 65 horsepower – competitive for its class.
In 2002, the first major redesign. Exclusive for Brazil, it changed the front slightly and the back became much more attractive (to most anyway) with the addition of bigger lights and wrap around glass. In this way, the separation between the Latin American and the European Ka became official and they were never again the same.
Following its own trajectory in Brazil, Ford completely redid the Ka for 2008. The Ka grew by nearly 8 inches, got a bigger trunk and could now seat 5 passengers. This new design proved a hit with Brazilians and sales took off again. Though this was mainly credited to the new design, the fact of the matter was that Ford had cheapened the car out. The interior was now made of much meaner material and mechanically it was simplified. It lost the front sway bar, the frontal sub-frame, springs were hardened to compensate, in short, the car lost the magic that had made it a true drivers car. It was now the cheapest car in Brazil.
In 2012, the final curtain call came for the Ka. It received a new front and Ford changed the backlights. As Ford launched the new Fiesta in Brazil, the old-gen Fiesta, now rebaptized Fiesta Rocam, was downgraded and became cheaper. When the 50 month financing (standard in Brazil) was taken into account, the Fiesta Rocam was marginally more expensive than the Ka and offered four doors and more space.
Now Ford hopes the new Ka will have what it takes to battle it out at the 30 thousand real mark. That means it has left the bottom rung of the market and will have to hold its own against heavy hitters like the perennial best seller Volkswagen Gol, Fiat Palio, Chevy Onix, Hyundai HB 20, Toyota Etios among others. The new Fiesta has been a hit in Brazil, taking the Fiesta nameplate to unheard of heights in the Brazilian market. If the new Ka takes permanent residence among the top 10 sold, Ford could find itself inching closer to the real big three in the Brazilian market (Fiat, GM and VW) and not having to worry about being overtaken by upstarts like Renault and Hyundai who have been challenging Fords , by now traditional, fourth place in Brazil.
