2011 Ford Focus

The new Ford Focus as a four-door sedan and five-door hatchback just like the new Fiesta. This 2012 model will be offered to Americans. The new sedan is dimensionally about one inch lower than the outgoing Focus sedan but a little less than an inch wider than the current European model.

The new Ford Focus has a modern, cockpit-style interior, with the stylish centre console wrapped around the driver and providing outstanding access to the vehicle’s major controls and display panels.

Within the cockpit, the most significant innovation is the company’s next-generation driver connect technology, MyFord, which provides the driver with a state-of-the-art combination of controls and display screens to operate the key vehicle features. On high series vehicles, the MyFord system includes an 8-inch touch screen, allowing the driver to control a wide range of functions via a clear and intuitive colour display

The 2011 Ford Focus engine is a new 2.0-liter direct-injected four-cylinder, which will also form the basis of the upcoming 2.0-liter EcoBoost. The normally aspirated unit will be rated at an estimated 155 hp and 145 pound-feet. Both cams are equipped with variable phasing using the same cam-torque actuation system as the Fusion’s 2.5-liter and the new 5.0-liter V8 in the Mustang. The new engine will also be E85 flex-fuel capable, a first for a DI engine.
