最近谍照记者首次拍到了将于明年发布的下一代福特福克斯旅行车照片，当时该车正与福克斯轿车和掀背车版本一起测试。虽然这辆原型车进行了重度伪装，仍可看出它比老款车更大。现行版福克斯因为行李箱容积小和后排乘客腿部空间局促而受到诟病，但全新车型将获得改进。从照片看，这辆原型车应该是入门级车型，它采用了卤族大灯并标配非LED尾灯组。高规格车型预计前大灯和尾灯组都将采用LED技术。原型车杠格栅下部前保险杠还配备了两个摄像头，或许是驻车辅助系统，但也有可能是半自动驾驶系统的一部分。下一代福克斯将采用全新平台，轴距和轮距进一步增加。先前拍到的内装谍照看，内部空间更宽敞，而仪表板设计深受新款嘉年华影响，采用浮动式中央显示屏，内部集成SYNC 3信息娱乐系统。至于动力系统，福特很可能在美国市场推出非自然进气引擎，而欧版车型则提供非涡轮增压引擎。不过无论哪个市场，新车都将搭载备受赞誉的1.0 升EcoBoost引擎。福特将首先推出掀背车版本，该车将在明年3月日内瓦车展亮相，而轿车和旅行车版本则将于年底前发布。
New Ford Focus Wagon Looks All Grown Up In First Spy Photos
Europeans love wagons and Ford knows that pretty well. The Blue oval company has the Mondeo and Focus wagons on sale currently on the continent with the latter expected to receive a new generation next year. These first spy photos confirm everything goes on plan as the model is being tested alongside its sedan and hatchback brothers.
Despite the heavy camouflage on this prototype, it’s easy to see the vehicle will be significantly bigger than the car it is going to replace. The current generation Focus in all its body styles has always been criticized for its small boot and relatively inadequate leg and room space for the rear passengers, but this is about to change once the all-new model arrives sometime next year.
Judging by the spy shots, this is likely an entry-level model, as it features halogen headlights and standard, non-LED taillights. Higher-spec variants are expected to gain LED technology for both the front and rear lamps.
The prototype also has two small cameras in the lower grille on the front bumper, which may be just for some parking systems, but could also suggest some semi-autonomous functions are on board.
The next-gen Focus will move to a completely new platform, which will allow for a longer wheelbase and a wider track. First interior spy photos revealed the interior will be roomier, while dashboard design will be heavily influenced by the new Fiesta’s dash with floating tablet-style center display for the SYNC 3 infotainment system.
As for the engines, Ford will most likely ditch all naturally aspirated engines for the U.S. market, while European customers will still be able to buy a base non-turbo unit. Wherever you are located, look for an improved version of the brand’s award-winning 1.0 EcoBoost.
The first to arrive from the new Focus family will be the hatchback, which may debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2018. We expect to see both the sedan and station wagon before the end of next year.
