Smaller engines, more power, sharper Focus

Ford has sharpened its Focus not only in terms of tech, dynamics and efficiency but also in pricing to take a steady shot at C-segment market leader Toyota.

Motoring media at the Eastern Cape launch were expecting only a mild makeover for the world’s best-selling nameplate but Ford surprised us all with dramatic changes to the range that include not only a bolder body but also interior improvements and new driving assistance tech.

And, most important of all: smaller, more frugal, yet more powerful, engines.
