Why Drivers Pick the Ford Focus

Ford created the Focus with drivers in mind who need a comfortable, compact automobile that handles well, is economical to operate, and offers the safety and performance features that are important for their day-to-day transportation.

With the first models introduced in the US in 1999 for model year 2000, and now on its third significant generation, Focus has proven itself to be a favorite of compact car owners, with a variety of models and options to suit every taste.

Models and Features for Every Driver

You may think it’s difficult to find economy, styling, and performance all within one vehicle, but Ford’s selection of power plants, models, and options provides a broad menu for potential Focus owners to pick from:

Focus S – Focus base models include a peppy standard 2.0L engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. It’s hard to beat the combination of economy and comfort offered even in Focus S, including standard air conditioning, Bluetooth with voice integration, rearview camera, automatic headlights, and more. Automatic transmission is available. Certainly not a stripped-down vehicle.

Focus SE – Available in either sedan or hatchback styles, SE bumps up the audio system to a 6-speaker system with satellite radio, and adds features that include cruise control, 16” alloy wheels, trip computer, and rear air-conditioning vents.

Focus SEL – Also available in sedan or hatchback models, the new Ford 2017 SEL makes a jump in comfort and technology with dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting inside, power moonroof, 10-speaker premium sound system from Sony, and even exterior updates like 17” alloy wheels and White Gold as an available color option.

Focus Titanium – The ultimate in a fully dressed Focus includes all the bells and whistles such as 17” aluminum wheels, LED running lights, remote start, leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather seats, and 8-way power driver’s seat. Titanium is also available in sedan or hatchback styles.

Focus ST – The ST is for drivers who really seek performance and sport in their Focus. With a flat-bottom sport steering wheel, 18” alloy wheels, signature lighting, sport styling features, and a performance-tuned suspension, Focus ST makes even a typical trip to the supermarket a true driver’s experience.

Focus RS – For the true sport enthusiast, RS hatchback models incorporate such desirable features as body-hugging Recaro sport seating, 19” alloy wheels wrapped in high-performance summer tires, and drive modes selectable by the driver for everything from standard city excursions to curve-ready handling. Incorporating a turbocharged engine that produces 350HP, RS demonstrates just how much performance the Focus can provide.

Focus Electric – For those drivers who want to eliminate emissions and reduce their carbon footprint, this model provides a zero-emission alternative to driving in safety and comfort. Technology includes a 107kw electric motor and Energy Coach to help monitor your driving efficiency.

Even with the lower models, options are available to dress up your Focus to make it stand out in the crowd and satisfy your comfort and technology preferences.

What Makes Focus Special?

Having received the designation of one of the “10 Best Cars” by Car and Driver magazine in multiple years, Focus retains its favor with both economy-minded drivers for safe and reliable transportation, as well as aficionados who favor the performance of ST and RS models.

All Focus drivers benefit from the NHTSA’s five-star safety rating (their highest rating).
