Description
Ford’s Award Winning Small Car
Recognised as setting a new standard for small cars, Focus has earned over 80 awards in Europe alone. The fi rst vehicle ever to receive both the North American Car of the Year and the European Car of the Year awards, Focus’ unique combination of style, size, driving dynamics and versatility ensures it meets the needs of a diverse range of owners. The new Focus looks stunning, more athletic and more dynamic; the new car is improved, refi ned and redesigned.
Beautifully Poised
Building on an already striking exterior, the new Focus now has a more dynamic look, embodying the Ford Kinetic Design philosophy of ‘energy in motion’. There is no sign of compromise - anywhere. The stylish grille and swept-back headlamps give the front an athletic appearance, while the tail has been redesigned to give a more purposeful stance. Side-on, strong undercuts run from the front to the rear of the car. With its clean, sleek lines, the new Focus truly is beautifully poised.
Dynamic Driver
The new Focus is always confidently responsive, effortlessly handling any situation from town driving to the endless open road. Large front dampers and rebound springs at the front, combined with independent ‘Control Blade’ rear suspension, not only improve overall driver and passenger comfort but also help reduce noise. The wide wheelbase provides greater stability and delivers total reassurance and precision when cornering, even on the most challenging of roads. Electric Hydraulic Power Assisted Steering (EHPAS) makes the vehicle easier to manoeuvre at lower speed while a reduction of power assistance at higher speed ensures more precise steering.
Beautifully Arranged
Whether you’re in control at the wheel or enjoying the luxury of being driven you will find the interior of the new refined Focus comfortable and protective. An ergonomically improved dashboard design and enhanced illumination allow the instruments to be read more easily. The centre console now has a flowing appearance reflecting the exterior’s Kinetic Design. Style accents aside, the console also provides useful storage options while anti-allergy fabrics, air filters that keep out allergens, and non-fuming plastics contribute to a healthier, more pleasant environment for you and your passengers.
Safety
As a driver or passenger in the new Focus, you will be reassured by the 5-star Euro NCAP Safety rating for adult occupant safety. A host of active safety features such as Dynamic Stability Control, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and anti-lock brakes are constantly working to help you avoid an accident. In the unfortunate event of an impact, superb body strength combined with lightweight impact technology, six airbags and a host of innovative
safety features such as horizontal collapsible steering column and retracting safety pedals make the new Focus one of the safest cars on the road.
