Sophisticated design

Available in four- and five-door and wagon body-styles, the new Focus has a  lower, wider stance, with a new bonnet, front fascia and grille. The  bonnet is sculpted with a dynamic shape from the front pillar to the corners of the upper part of the inverted  trapezoidal grille to deliver a strong, proud look.

When redesigning the interior of the new Focus, has an intuitive layout, complemented by a  steering wheel and central stack with fewer controls and switches. The new black satin trim and chrome detailing contribute  to a cleaner, more modern look.

Fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive

New Focus will offer 92kW in the 1.6-litre petrol engine with either a  five-speed manual or a six-speed PowerShift automatic gearbox available  on Titanium models.

With enhanced handling and steering, the new Focus takes the model’s  exceptional driving dynamics and acclaimed fun-to-drive DNA to a new  level. Ford engineers have delivered a more solid, responsive and connected-to-the-road feel by increasing the structural stiffness  at the front, revising the suspension geometry, increasing lateral  stiffness of “steering-relevant” suspension bushes, and retuning the  shock absorbers.

The Electric Power Assisted Steering system is available on manual models  and has been retuned to make the driver feel even more connected to the  road. The new Focus also will be available with optional paddle-shift controls that enable drivers to control gear  changes while keeping their hands on the steering wheel.

The highly acclaimed driving experience is further refined with  improvements to noise, vibration and harshness that help deliver superb  levels of interior quietness in Focus, and contribute to a more relaxing environment.

“New Focus offers a host of new and cutting-edge features and technologies,  but at the same time this latest version has been refined and  simplified,” said Jim Baumbick, Ford’s global C-car vehicle line director. “The sophisticated redesign has given Focus a new, fresh and modern style both inside and out, but the soul of Focus is the  fun-to-drive feeling you get when you’re behind the wheel, and we’ve not compromised on that – in fact, we’ve improved it.”

The Focus will be available through CMC Motors Group Ltd. in Nairobi’s Lusaka Road.
