New Ford Focus Release Date
The latest Ford Focus is due to arrive in showrooms from the 1st of November 2014, featuring more technology, new engines and an improved interior, with prices once again starting at £13,995.
New Ford Focus Trim Levels and Price
A Style (£16,795 - £17,995), Zetec (£18,295 - £19,495), Zetec S (£20,045 - £20,745), Titanium (£19,795 - £20,995) and Titanium X (£21,795 - £22,995). . Style replaces outgoing Edge spec, and sees a moderate base price increase, as do mid-spec Zetec and Zetec S, but both Titanium and Titanium X have dropped £100 less than the current prices.
New Ford Focus Styling
New visuals include the new-look trapezoidal front end, complete with elongated foglamps, slimmed-down headlights and an Aston Martin-inspired trapezoidal grille. Inside, Ford has worked hard on quality, updating the centre console by removing the fiddly buttons in favour of an eight-inch touchscreen, alongside redesigned air-con controls and a new three-spoke multifunction steering wheel.
New Ford Focus Tech
When it comes to technology, as well as the current safety and convenience kit, the main change is the optional Perpendicular Parking, a hands-free parking system that works like the existing Active Park Assist. At the touch of a button, ultrasonic sensors can now locate and steer the vehicle into a car park bay, leaving the driver to control the accelerator and brake.
The extra sensors used for this are deployed when leaving a space, too, in the form of Cross Traffic Alert – which warns drivers as they reverse of passing vehicles – and Park-Out Assist, designed to help drivers as the exit from a parallel park.
There’s also the option of Ford’s latest connectivity software, SYNC2. It now offers a split-screen display, and can be used to vocally control audio, navigation, the climate control and smartphones.
Rounding off the technology add-ons is the My Key aid for new drivers. This debuted on the Fiesta and allows owners to programme a key that limits top speed while in use, reduces the audio system’s max volume and can disable the car altogether if seatbelts aren’t being used.
New Ford Focus Engines and Gear Boxes
Straight from launch, the revised Focus will be the first European Ford to feature the new much awaited and anticipated 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol EcoBoost engine. Available with either 148bhp or 178bhp, it slots into the range just above the existing 99bhp and 123bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder EcoBoosts.
Also a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol will be offered, too, in three states of tune: 84bhp, 104bhp and 123bhp – the less powerful unit being exclusive to hatchback only Studio spec. Diesel choices include the 1.5-litre TDCi in 94bhp and 118bhp, plus the 94bhp or 113bhp 1.6 TDCi. Five and six-speed manual gearboxes will be standard, with automatics available as options. The latter can now be specced with shift paddles on the steering wheel.
