ALL-NEW FORD FOCUS COMES TO YOU IN 2012
Refresh and reboot. This year, the all-new Ford Focus has become the talk of the town.
‘As the third-generation successor of a model that is almost synonymous with the name 'Ford’ itself, the new Focus inherits an illustrious history that includes European Car of the Year (1999) and Car of the Year in Denmark, Scotland, Ireland and Estonia (1999), among many others.
In line with Ford’s efforts to produce a more singular global product lineup, the American automaker has merged the best of both the European and American models to offer consumers what they seek in styling and technology, resulting in one of the most desirable compact cars of all time.
Backed by affirmation and accolades worldwide for the Focus’ predecessors, this new generation model offers even greater promise and more outstanding qualities to be discovered.
The Best of All Worlds
In the new Ford Focus, almost every element has been taken apart, redeveloped and improved upon to create the best possible drive. The finished product boasts a dynamic sporty design, ergonomic interiors, a 1.6L Ti-VCT (Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing) engine and new 6-speed powershift transmission among the many thoughtful and stylish details.
Simply press the Start button and feel the intense difference.
Superb Drive and Handling
- 1.6L Ti-VCT
The Ti-VCT technology in the new Ford Focus engine provides precise control over the timing for the one-way intake and exhaust valves, allowing for continual optimisation of camshaft event timings to maximise torque and fuel economy.
The all-new Ford 6-speed Dual-Clutch Powershift is the next generation of automatic transmissions. It cleverly selects the next appropriate gear at exactly the right moment, delivering lightning-fast gear changes with no disruption to the flow of power, leading to smooth superior performance and exceptional economy. (Manual mode can be selected with the flick of a switch.)
- Torque Vectoring Control
Fantastic handling around corners is now a given with the Torque Vectoring Control which improves traction, roadholding and agility and continuously monitors and adjusts the engine torque distributed to each front wheel as you drive.
