New Ford Focus Features, Technologies & Engines

FORD FOCUS FEATURES

DRIVING EXPERIENCE

INTELLIGENT LED HEADLIGHTS

New optional Matrix LED headlights, with integrated fog lamps and signature daytime running lights, deliver outstanding visibility with eye-catching design. The adaptive front lighting system optimises your Focus’s headlight beam patterns to suit specific driving conditions. Such as for motorway, city, or country road driving, as well as parking and cornering manoeuvres.

DIGITAL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

The Focus’s 12.3" digital instrument cluster displays driver information in high definition using intuitive, easy-to-read icons. You can prioritise which information is displayed, including navigation alerts, as well as programme the preferred pre-sets of individual drivers.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION

This system uses lateral sensors to look for vehicles hidden in your blind spot, even when towing a trailer. If another vehicle is detected, the system alerts you via warning lights built into both door mirrors.

LANE-KEEPING SYSTEM

Forward-looking cameras detect if you unintentionally drift out of your lane. The system then alerts you by vibrating the steering wheel and can even provide gentle steering assistance to guide you back into the right lane. Designed for multi-lane roads. This automatically deactivates below 65 km/h or can be turned-off manually.

Ford Focus cross traffic system indication

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT

Helping to increase awareness when reversing out of spaces with limited visibility. The system detects if a vehicle is approaching from the sides, then sound a warning and illuminates an alert light in the Focus door mirror to signal you of their presence.

FORD CO-PILOT 360

Ford Co-Pilot360 combines a range of technologies that work together, to make your driving experience more comfortable and enjoyable than ever. For example, Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adjusts your speed based on the vehicle ahead. The system can even recognise speed signs and adjust your cruising speed accordingly.

SELECTABLE DRIVE MODES

Selectable drive modes alter vehicle settings such as throttle response, steering, and gear-change to match driving conditions. The New Focus features 5 different drive modes: Normal, ECO, Sport, Slippery and Trail^{Active Driving modes}. Key information is displayed via the digital instrument cluster which changes colour theme according to the drive mode selected.

ACTIVE PARK ASSIST

Parking in a busy street or a tight space can be tricky. But Active Park Assist in the new Focus makes it easy. The system can identify suitable parking spaces, and then automatically steer you in. All you need to do is push the button and let the car do the work for you.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE

An electric parking brake helps to declutter the cabin, is easier to apply, and means you won’t need to have the brakes serviced as regularly. To apply, simply press a button in the Focus centre console.

REAR-VIEW CAMERA

The Focus's rear camera is activated automatically when you select reverse gear, revealing what’s behind you on the display screen. The system also displays virtual lines to help you with parking^{An additional new high resolution wide angle rear-view camera is available as part of the optional Parking Packs.}.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO

The Focus’s Adaptive Cruise Control makes driving easy in heavy traffic. Simply set your desired cruising speed, and the system automatically maintains a pre-set distance from the vehicle in front, bringing your car to a stop if necessary. Once the traffic ahead clears, the system accelerates back to your chosen speed. Available on automatic transmission.

TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION WITH INTELLIGENT SPEED ASSIST

The Traffic Sign Recognition system scans traffic signs and road markings to identify the current speed limit, and if activated can then adjust your maximum speed setting to match this limit.

DRIVER ALERT

The system alerts you if it detects changes to your driving behaviour that could be due to fatigue. If your driving alertness further declines, the visual alert is repeated combined with an audible chime.

EVASIVE STEER ASSIST

The New Focus’s Evasive Steer Assist system uses radar and a camera technology to detect slower-moving and stationary vehicles ahead, then provides steering support to help you avoid another vehicle if a collision is imminent.
