"We weren't satisfied with being No. 1; we wanted to blow people away with a stunning new version of the Focus," said Stephen Odell, president of Ford of Europe, Middle East and Africa. "New Focus marries modern design, advanced technology and leading fuel efficiency with the fun-to-drive DNA for which Focus is rightly acclaimed."
TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL WITH SYNC 2-
The new Focus will be the first vehicle in Europe to offer SYNC 2. Ford's advanced in-car connectivity system features a high-resolution, 8-inch colour touch screen and advanced voice control for easier access to audio, navigation, climate control and compatible mobile phones.
SYNC 2's navigation system also offers for the first time in Europe a split-screen display with detailed intersections, spoken street names, 3D highway junction and landmark views, and the MICHELIN guide and MICHELIN Green Guide. SYNC 2 enables drivers to issue simpler "one-shot" navigation destinations, and to ask the system to "play" a desired artist. Simply pushing the voice control button and saying "I'm hungry" will bring up a list of local restaurants, which you can then get directions to.
LIGHTING THE WAY-
The new Focus will continue to offer previously introduced innovative features that drivers have come to appreciate and rely on, such as Door Edge Protector, which provides a buffer against accidental damage by extending a protective flap that covers the door edges a split-second after the door is opened.
"New Focus offers a host of new and cutting-edge features and technologies, but at the same time this latest version has been refined and simplified," said Sherif Marakby, vehicle line director, Ford of Europe. "The sophisticated redesign has given Focus a new, fresh and modern style both inside and out, but the soul of Focus is the fun-to-drive feeling you get when you're behind the wheel, and we've not compromised on that - in fact, we've improved it."
FUEL EFFICIENT NEW ENGINES-
The new Focus offers significantly improved fuel efficiency on many versions compared to the current model thanks to new powertrain options. The most improved diesel model will offer a 19 per cent reduction in fuel consumption, while the most improved petrol model will offer a 17 per cent improvement.
The new Focus will be the first vehicle in Europe to offer the fuel efficient new 1.5-litre Eco-boost (150 PS and 180 PS) petrol engine and also will be offered equipped with the new 1.5-litre TD-Ci (95 PS and 120 PS) diesel engine. The Focus will continue to be offered with the 1.0-litre Eco-boost petrol engine (100 PS and 125 PS) that last year was chosen by a third of Focus customers, and was named the 2012 and 2013 International Engine of the Year. There will also be a new version of the 99 g/km CO2 1.0-litre Eco-boost, the first non-hybrid petrol family car in Europe to offer sub-100 g/km CO2 emissions.
"Diesel or petrol, the new Focus will offer engines that deliver a compelling combination of significantly improved fuel efficiency and surprising power - as well as the zero-emissions option offered by the Focus Electric, our electrified version," said Joe Bakaj, vice president, Product Development, Ford of Europe. "The new 1.5-litre Eco-boost petrol engine will directly benefit from technologies pioneered by the 1.0-litre Eco-boost - including an entirely new cylinder head design with improved cooling and integrated exhaust manifold for best possible performance and fuel efficiency, and reductions in weight and friction of both internal components and accessories to help deliver a more economical, smoother-running and freer-revving engine."
