The New Ford Focus Range

Ford Focus

Focus Safety - No Compromise

• Throughout the range, the new Focus has a structure that was designed to protect its occupants within a lightweight and highly efficient survival cell.
• Rigorously tested in virtual and physical form, verified by the most powerful computers in the industry and tested in the Volvo Safety Centre in Sweden.
• Optimised crash load paths through the body structure for maximum energy absorption outside the passenger environment, both in straight frontal impacts against a rigid barrier and in offset crashes.
• Equipped with standard front air bags and optional thorax-protecting side air bags and inflatable side curtains, which deploy between the A and C pillars to provide protection in the event of a side impact.

Powertrains - A Wealth Of Choice

• The new Focus pioneers Ford’s new 115PS, 1.6-litre Duratec Ti-VCT engine – with twin independent variable camshaft technology - as part of a comprehensive powertrain line-up.

Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) improves airflow through the engine and delivers more torque while reducing average fuel consumption by up to five per cent. The petrol engine range also includes: 1.4 litres (80PS), 1.6 litres (100PS) and 2.0 litres (145PS). Focus also offers advanced, Duratorq TDCi high-pressure common-rail diesel engines. The range features 1.6-litre (109PS) and 2.0-litre (136PS) Duratorq TDCi choices, which made their debut in the Focus C-MAX.

These lightweight, low-friction engines offer an optimal balance between strong torque at low engine speeds for smooth responsive driving fun and low fuel consumption - the 2.0-litre unit benefiting from Ford’s six-speed manual transmission. To meet and surpass emissions requirements both diesel engines will be available with a Diesel Particulate Filter.

Ford’s new Durashift CVT Continuously Variable Transmission is available on models powered by the 1.6-litre Duratorq TDCi engine. Developed by Ford with ZF Transmissions, the Durashift CVT can switch between fully automatic and seven-speed manual selection. It cuts fuel consumption by up to eight per cent over traditional four- or five-speed automatics. Focus also offers Durashift 5- and 6-speed manual transmissions and the Durashift 4-speed automatic.
