Meetthe most desirable family car ever! This striking machine is about torewrite the hatchback rulebook, with a stunning combination ofhead-turning looks, driver appeal and up-to-the-minute technology. Say hello to Ford’s next-generation Focus.
Set to go on sale in2010, the third generation of the family car will take the company’sbrand values to the next level. It gets a dramatic new look that’sbacked up by a range of hi-tech small- capacity turbocharged engines.
Fordgave the strongest hint of how its upcoming models will look when it revealed the Iosis Max at the Geneva Motor Show last month (see Issue1,053). And it’s from this car that the new Focus takes much of its styling inspiration.
The hatch gets a sleek new front end,with a large lower grille and elongated headlights. Bold lines run fromthe edges of the grille to the A-pillars.
At the rear, thereare further nods to the Iosis MAX, with a high tail, angular C-pillarsand eye-catching lights. Chunky wheelarches and short
overhangsfinish the look and give the newcomer a muscular stance. According toinsiders, a panoramic glass roof will also be available. Inside, expecta toned-down version of the concept’s striking cabin, with a new centreconsole boasting an improved version of Ford’s Human Machine Interfacecontrol system. Options will include a reversing camera.
Underthe skin is a fresh development of the current car’s chassis, so it’sunlikely the new model will grow much in size. Emphasis will be put onride and refinement, without sacrificing the sharp steering and driverappeal for which the Focus has become famous.
New turbochargedEcoBoost engines dominate the line-up. Entry-level models will comewith a 1.0-litre four-cylinder turbo unit offering 89bhp or 108bhp, butmost variants will get a new 1.6-litre turbo, available with 148bhp or178bhp outputs.
These units will combine storming pace withlow fuel consumption and CO2 emissions to give buyers the best of bothworlds. There is also a new range of diesels in the shape of a 1.6TDCi, delivering up to 128bhp, and a flagship 2.0-litre with 168bhp or197bhp.
All engines are mated to manual boxes as standard, butFord will also offer its Powershift twin-clutch transmission.Start-stop technology is set to be rolled out across the range, too.
Wereported in Issue 1,054 that Ford bosses were debating when to launchthe car. Sources have revealed that it looks as though the Focus andC-MAX compact MPV will be launched simultaneously in 2010.
Themodels have been developed alongside each other and could be globalcars – ie sold in all Ford markets across the world. They would followin the footsteps of the latest Fiesta, which goes on sale in Chinalater this year, and in the US in 2010.
The Focus will bebuilt at Ford’s plant in Saarlouis, Germany, while the C-MAX, which isto appear as a seven-seater for the first time, will be assembled atValencia in Spain.
