First Impression Counts

Automatic Rain and Light Sensors

Rain-sensing windscreen wipers automatically adjust to speed and rain intensity to provide optimum visibility. Its wipers are also designed to prevent lifting when travelling at high speeds. Automatic headlight illumination ensures that headlights will be activated in low light conditions, even in sheltered car parks and tunnels.

Foldable Door Mirrors with Integrated Side Indications and Puddle Lamps

Electric-folding mirrors with integrated side indicators help provide clearer illumination to vehicles in all directions. Additional puddle lamps light up the floor to ensure you do not accidentally step in water puddles.

Bi-Xenon Headlights with Corner Static Lights

Bi-Xenon headlights deliver around twice the intensity and project a longer beam of light than conventional halogen headlights, all while using only two thirds of the energy. Corner static lights help the driver see around corners.

Let Good Looks Bring You Places

It's style that gives the new Ford Focus substance. The Focus' kinetic design has been improved, making it 8% more aerodynamic than the previous model. And it's the attention to detail that further sets this car apart from the rest. Body-coloured rear spoiler and door handles, halogen headlights and LED rear tail lamps - it all contributes to making the Focus a sleek, driving machine with a sporty feel. Available in a range of eye-popping colours, it's perfect for those wanting to express themselves on the road.

Capless Refueling

No dirty fuel caps to touch. Plus, Ford Easy-Fuel's unique safeguard ensures your Ford Focus is never filled with the wrong type of fuel.

DESIGNED AROUND YOU

The exacting craftsmanship of the Ford's exterior extends to its interior, where superb comfort, style and ergonomics combine to create luxurious feel in the cabin.

Dual-Zone Climate Control System

The Cabin temperature can be adjusted separately for the driver and front passenger, with up to 6°C variation from side to side for better comfort. For rear seat passengers, side-mounted air vents provide extra ventilation and are height adjustable for better comfort on sunny days.

Premium Audio System with USB Port

Provides concert-quality sound within your car. The USB port and aux-in jack lets you connect your iPod, iPhone, MP3 player or USB stick and take your music collection with you while you're driving.

Multi-Function Trip Computer

It Fits Not Only Your Lifestyle, But You Too

The new Ford Focus gives you pure luxurious comfort while surrounding you with the latest automotive technology. Designed to make you feel as snug as a hand in a racing glove, the high-quality furnishings of the Focus' spacious interior are contemporary-styled and made exclusively of materials that reduce the risk of allergies.

Turn Any Corner into a Straight Road

You'll never forget how the Focus feels once you've driven it around the corners. The Ford Focus' fantastic handling on the road, especially around the corners, can be attributed to its Torque Vectoring Control feature. It's also equipped with the electronic power-assisted steering (EPAS), which gives the car the ability to respond intuitively to your every touch and nudge, no matter what speed you are traveling at.

1.6L Ti-VCT (Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing) Engine

The Ti-VCT technology utilised 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. In other words, this technology enables the engine to respond faster and increase fuel efficiency.

Torque Vectoring Control

Torque Vectoring Control improves traction, roadholding and agility by continuously monitoring and adjusting the engine torque distributed to each front wheel as you dive, leading to a driving experience that is impossible to replicate.

State-of-the-Art, 6-Speed Powershift Transmission

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. The end results? Smooth, superb performance and exceptional fuel economy.
Manual mode can be selected with a simple flick of a lever. This 'Sportsmode' can be adjusted to your individual driving style should you prefer a more involved driving experience.

Patented Independent Control Blade Suspension

The award-winning design saves space, unlike bulky conventional multi-link suspension, yet provides class-leading road holding and superb ride comfort.

Play it Safe. Play it Cool.

The Focus was built with safety foremost in mind. Each element in the car - seats, airbags, steel and body - was engineered to play a part in helping to keep you safe and snug inside the cabin no matter what happens. After all, safety is an integral part of the Focus driving experience that cannot be discounted.
