New Ford Focus

Overview

So, where are you heading? A late breakfast with friends at your favourite café, or maybe you've decided it's time to leave the city behind for a few days. Either way, the moment you set eyes on its bold looks and athletic stance you instantly know the Ford Focus is ready for anything and everything that is happening in your life. Slide behind the wheel and the interior design makes you feel right at home. Plug in your iPod, turn up the volume and you don't mind if that little weekend country getaway you're heading to is a few kilometres more. On the flipside, with such smooth, responsive engines getting around town has never been easier, or so much fun.

Features

Suits your style

Glide your Focus effortlessly into a car space at your favourite shopping strip and you'll make a memorable entrance and a real fashion statement too. With smooth curves in all the right places the Focus is sure to be the centre of attention. The stylish design of the front grille and tail lamps complements its sculptured exterior lines. Inside is just as striking - the wrap-around driving environment boasts a slick centre console with ample technology at your fingertips.

Stay connected.

With a range of technology to help keep you connected, the Ford Focus takes 'living life on the road' to a whole new level.

Friends. Fun. Music. Making plans. Getting there. Changing plans. Moving on. Having your world at your fingertips when you're behind the wheel couldn't be easier. You have the freedom to do what you want, when you want, where you want. Every Focus includes on-board technology allowing you to play music direct from your iPod. Adjust your stereo with a simple click using the steering column mounted audio controls. Play music files from a USB stick in the Focus Zetec or chat with friends on the phone hands-free in your Focus XR5 Turbo thanks to Bluetooth® connectivity. Plus, when it comes to staying close with your friends, the accommodating space and 60/40 split-fold rear seats gives you the flexibility to pack in everyone and their gear just how you want.

Drive to feel alive

Whether it's a quick dash to return a DVD or a well-earned weekend escape, the super-responsive steering and handling of the Ford Focus brings every drive alive.

Wouldn't it be great if every time you jump behind the wheel you felt inspired? Every drive made you feel alive? Well, that's how you'll feel behind the wheel of the Focus. On petrol models, power is transferred smoothly from the 2.0L Duratec 16V 4 cylinder engine by a 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic transmission with Sequential Sports Shift. Go a little higher and choose the Focus XR5 Turbo and you'll be rewarded with an exhilarating drive thanks to the highly refined 6-speed manual transmission* tapping into the awesome 166kW 2.5L 5 cylinder turbo engine. Or if taking control of your fuel costs is more important, then the turbo diesel Focus TDCi with either a 6-speed manual or optional PowerShift automatic transmission is sure to fit the bill.

Safety

The safety engineers and technicians at Ford believe that a small car should never compromise on safety.

Let's face facts, it can be a jungle out there. Well, a concrete and bitumen one, anyway. You need protection. So it's good to know that all Focus models come with a mighty long list of standard safety features that look after both you and your passengers. First up are driver, front passenger and side front airbags. Then there's standard ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). On all models except Focus CL,* you get the added benefit of side curtain airbags and Dynamic Stability Control with Traction Control and Emergency Brake Assist. Equally impressive is the ability of your Focus to handle an accident situation as smoothly as possible. In an emergency, the Intelligent Safety System (ISS) goes to work in a fraction of a second, deploying the required safety features. There's also energy absorbing crumple zones to reduce the force of the impact and an anti-intrusion brake pedal that collapses away from the driver's legs to reduce the chance of leg injuries.
