| Safety |
The many included safety features help provide you and your passengers with a secure ride and peace of mind.
 Safety Cell Construction. The passenger cabin is surrounded with a structure of welded steel. Energy-absorbing bumpers, front and rear crumple zones, steel side-intrusion door beams and a sturdy cross-cowl beam are integrated as a system that manages impact energy.
|
 Stops you straight and true. Standard on SES, the power Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) helps promote stay-in-control steering. ABS comes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution for optimum stopping force, plus Traction Control for surer footing. Focus S and SE offer ABS optionally.
|
 Personal Safety System. For the driver and right-front passenger, includes: dual-stage airbags, safety belt pretensioners, safety belt energy-management retractors, safety belt usage sensors, driver’s-seat position sensor, crash severity sensor, restraint control module and Front-Passenger Sensing System.
|
 Inflation has its benefits. Focus’ commitment to your well-being now extends further with 6 standard airbags.* It’s a holistic approach that integrates the strong, solid body structure with state-of-the-art restraint equipment: 2 dual-stage front airbags, 2 front-seat side airbags, and 2 front-to-back side-curtain airbags are at the ready. Side-curtain airbags descend from the headliner in certain side-impact events to lend additional protection for front and rear-outboard passengers, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System issues alerts for under inflation. *Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat. |

 Quietest Focus Ever Focus seats you and 4 of your best friends or family members comfortably. And quietly. Fact is, the new exterior design is appealing and wind-stealing. An all-new climate control system, acoustic windshield and thicker side glass add to the sound of silence.

| Fun to Drive |
At the core of the Focus is an engine that delivers smooth acceleration and all-around polished performance.
 A Controlling Desire Team the engine with a short-throw 5-speed manual, or opt for a smooth-shifting automatic transmission for responsive, yet responsible, revs. You’ll also be taking charge of the multilink rear suspension’s Control Blade™ handling advantage – it dramatically boosts passive rear-wheel steer, which is particularly helpful in passing zones or during lane changes on highways. |
 The Epitome of Fun Since its debut, Focus has been widely hailed for its impressive response and impeccable road manners that put it in a league by itself. Now it’s leaner, with sharper steering and handling. The European inspired suspensions – both standard and enhanced – were optimized. Re-tuned springs and shocks, new jounce bumpers and a bigger front stabilizer bar combine for a dynamic driving treat. |
 The choice is yours. Ford Focus heightens its award-winning reputation with an all-new design – inside and out – as a 4-door sedan or first-ever 2-door coupe. The bright chrome grille, flared wheel arches and sweeping character lines create intense visual appeal from any angle. It’s an attraction that extends to the cockpit’s hi-tech surrounds, featuring the first application of unique Ford SYNC™ connectivity. Even Focus’ acclaimed Euro-inspired handling is fine tuned, boosting its fun-loving, road-hugging manners to the max. |
 Exemplary Details For more allure, go for the loaded Sport Appearance Package that’s optional on SES in select colours. A highly detailed chrome appliqué on each front fender of SES models boldly reflects your individuality. Sleek surfaces on Focus were actively designed with sharp, well-defined forms – along the hood, down each side and through the bumpers – to create the impression of forward motion even when Focus is standing still. |
 Fully Engaging Taking cues from fashion and home design, the inviting interior includes new patterns, textures and materials that please the senses and add to the sense of openness. Seat shapes offer improved contours, with greater lateral and lumbar support. On SES, the front buckets are heated, and leather-trimmed seating with contrast stitching is optional for added luxury. |
 Exuberant Atmosphere Inside every Focus, excitement is front and centre: The quick-read instrument panel and associated controls come alive in Ice Blue illumination. Quite striking. Color-configurable lighting livens up your ride with the available Ambient Lighting Package. Scroll through 7 hues for a rainbow of choices – blue, red, yellow, green, aqua, purple or white – that add an LED glow to all 4 footwells and the front cupholders on Focus SES. | |
