The new 2012 Ford Focus, unveiled recently at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, is designed from the ground up to set new standards for its segment. Utilizing their “global design team”, Ford set out to build an offering that has international appeal, and it looks as if they have done just that.
The new 2012 Ford Focus has a toned and athletic stance, with a rakish design that appears to be in motion even when standing still. With 4- and 5-door models offered, the new Focus will come in 4 trim levels and will be accentuated with distinctive headlights and in-the-body shark fin tail lamps. A wider stance and increased track width adds a sporty air to the presentation, while an aggressive grill and sculpted side panels promises a muscular performance. The exterior design really commands attention from every angle.
Inside, passengers will be treated to the most luxurious Focus yet, with a stylish array of instruments and controls place closed at hand and smartly laid-out. Available technology includes Intelligent Access, push-button start, rain-sensing wipers and heated front seats. Options for the tech-savvy include MyFord, their proprietary touch-screen system, SYNC, Active Park Assist, a rearview camera , BlueTooth communications and a voice-activated navigation system.
The Focus is powered by a new 155hp 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine boasting variable valve timing and direct injection, which provides dependable power-on-demand for an athletic drive, while the handling and suspension strikes a fantastic balance between performance and comfort.
When the Focus was introduced to the US a decade ago, it was a breakthrough sensation. The 2012 model, completely refreshed and re-designed, stands to once again take the market by storm, with an offering that is the most upscale and stylish within its segment. Stylish, sporty and unrivaled value for the economical price tag, the 2012 model year should keep us all in a perfect Focus.
