When it comes to cars, Vauxhall VX4 is better than Ford Focus, Mitsubishi LancerSource Engadge title How Ford Focus is cheaper than its rivals, but it’s still better than Vauxhalls latest SUV, by Paul Martin
VauxHalls latest all-electric SUV, the VX400, is cheaper to buy than any other Ford Focus car ever sold, according to a new study.
The new study by Edmunds.com shows the VZ400 is more expensive to own than the all-new Ford Focus Electric which was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
The VX 400 is also more expensive than the current Ford Fiesta, Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado pickup, the study found.
Edmunds calculated that the VTX400 is about 10 percent cheaper than the Ford Focus Energi, a petrol-powered SUV which has been on sale for the past few years.
The study also found that the average cost of owning a Vaux Hams new SUV was $26,700.
That’s about $2,500 less than the Nissan Frontier, the new all-wheel drive Nissan GT-R, the Toyota Highlander, Hyundai Elantra, Mazda3 and Hyundai Sonata.
However, the car’s battery capacity was about 3.5 times less than those of the Focus Electric, which is a better-rated car than its predecessor, the Ford Fusion.
The Volt battery pack is also less expensive than Ford’s new Ford Focus Hybrid, which starts at $28,200.
The VX4000 was launched last month in Australia and Canada, and will be available in all markets from August 20.
