Beautiful and dynamic design is at the heart of the new Ford Focus, and using Ford’s ‘kinetic Design’ philosophy, every element has been carefully crafted. The new Focus is available in a range of bodystyles - choose from the 3-door or 5-door hatch, 4-door saloon or estate. Meanwhile, the top of the range Focus ST takes performance to an extra level, with its unique sports body styling and powerful brakes - not to mention the stunning 18-inch alloy wheels.

The beautifully arranged new Ford Focus has inspired us to do something rather extraordinary. To find out more about the new Focus, follow the link below to visit the dedicated new Focus site.

The UK’s favourite fleet car has always been fantastic to drive –  it is incredible to look at too. Inspired by the success of the critically acclaimed new Ford Mondeo, the new Ford Focus gets the Ford ‘kinetic Design’ treatment. The result is an impressive new body, with aerodynamic lines and sleek styling.

The new Ford Focus is just as impressive inside with a newly designed centre console, redesigned instrument controls, soft-touch plastics and plush seat fabrics.

A new simplified series line-up includes Studio, Style, Zetec, Titanium and ECOnetic. All models are available in hatchback and estate bodystyles. New Focus Titanium is also available in a 4-door saloon bodystyle.

The Ford Focus ECOnetic will be the first in Ford’s new range of low CO2 vehicles. This stylish new Ford derivative emits just 115g/km of CO2 – that’s a class leading result in this segment. The Ford Focus ECOnetic shows that very favourable fuel consumption levels and significantly reduced CO2 emissions can be achieved using clever fuel-saving measures including a new low resistance transmission oil specially developed for Ford by BP. Powered by a 90PS or 109PS 1.6-litre Duratorq engine with standard Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), average consumption for this vehicle is a low 4.3 litres per 100 km.

The new Ford Focus is not shy on new features and optional extras. Ford EasyFuel capless refuelling prevents fuelling mistakes. The new Deflation Detection System can give advanced warning of tyre problems. The optional 230 Volt power socket can be used to power electrical appliances, for example laptops. The new optional Sony entertainment system has a DAB radio and MP3 player connectivity.

The Ford PowerShift Transmission is a completely new six-speed double-clutch transmission system with the ease of operation of an automatic transmission. When combined with the 2.0 litre Duratorq TDCi engine, the result is an approximate 10% improvement in fuel consumption and lower CO2 emission when compared with a conventional six-speed transmission.
