Ford Focus
KEY FEATURES
Ford’s kinetic Design direction is bold and modern. After the introduction of the S-MAX and highly successful launch of the new Mondeo, the designers at Ford were eager to apply their kinetic Design philosophy to the Focus – a car that’s known for its great driving dynamics. Every body panel on the new Focus, except for the roof, has been restyled. This dramatic makeover embraces the kinetic Design principles of energy in motion, giving the car an athletic, dynamic feel to match its agile drive.

Active safety
The new Focus also features a braking system that provides total reassurance in normal driving conditions, plus the enhanced power to react swiftly when required. The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) is constantly monitoring vehicle behaviour, while Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) can significantly cut stopping distances by increasing the brake pressure in the case of emergency. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) provide extra confidence to help tackle more challenging conditions.
Intelligent Protection System
The IPS in a new Focus features innovative sensors that activate the appropriate safety systems in a millisecond, such as all-round airbags.* Whether there's one or five people travelling, IPS means your car is now even safer than ever.
Passive safety features
Superb body strength combined with lightweight impact technology makes the new Focus one of the safest cars on the road. All new Focus models have full-size airbags for the driver and front passenger as well as unique new 3-D shaped side airbags – designed to deliver a greater level of impact absorption, with greater depth and quicker deployment. Side curtain airbags complete the set-up, protecting occupants along the length of the side windows.
In the unfortunate event of an impact, the steering column is designed to move away from the driver's body, and the pedals away from the driver’s feet to further reduce the risk of injury. The new Focus also comes with ISOFIX fittings to fit an ISOFIX child seat for extra reassurance.
