Like a second skin, the driver-oriented cockpit wraps around you. You'll feel melded with the car and – with all the latest technology close at hand – in complete control. A lower seating position than its predecessor, the new Focus cocoons you in contemporary style. Both the driver and passenger seats are individually adjustable. The cockpit’s harmonious design makes you feel right at home and more refreshed at each journey's end. Time to look forward to the next drive.

The new Focus offers the perfect combination of comfort, style and choice whether you opt for partial leather or fabric. The level of craftsmanship strikes you in every detail – from the premium stitching in the seats to the tactile, soft-touch materials of the centre console and instrument panel.

The whole design is more sculptural, dynamic and expressive. From the moment you step inside, the cabin is appealing and distinctive, while colours, materials and finishes are co-ordinated to suit every taste. With such reassuring quality throughout there's an alluring sense feeling at home and being at one with the car.

Ambient lighting is standard on Titanium and allows you to add subtle red ambient light to the interior at night. This warm tone emanates from the overhead console, cup holders, door release surrounds and foot well area. With the optional ambient lighting hub, you can choose from seven different colours and various intensities to create a different feel in the cabin according to your mood. (optional as part of pack)

Stylish and functional, the premium centre console has handy stowage space, sliding armrest, 12-volt front and rear power sockets, and a Z-shape handbrake. (Standard on Zetec and Titanium series)

Using your key to start your car is a thing of the past. In the new Focus, you simply push the Power Start button while holding the clutch down (or brake pedal on an automatic) and the engine fires into life. (Standard on Titanium series)

Your passenger likes the interior to feel cosy, but you like it cooler. The solution? The optional DEATC means you and your front passenger can set the temperature with up to 4° C variation between you. If only you could control the weather as easily. (Standard on Titanium series)

The Bluetooth® with Voice Control* system also includes an AUX and USB port, which allows devices without Bluetooth® functionality to be connected to the vehicle. This means MP3 music files can be played and controlled through the audio system from a memory stick or an MP3 player such as an iPod®. (Standard)

This clever night driving-aid, which works with automatic headlights switched on, temporarily dips your headlights when it detects oncoming traffic or another vehicle up ahead. Then it automatically returns them to high beam. A bright idea that makes driving more safe and relaxed. (Optional as part of pack)

With six levels of sensitivity, the windscreen wipers on the new Focus spring into action at the first drop of rain, increasing in speed to deal with whatever the weather may throw at you. (Optional as part of pack)

From 2012, this voice-activated control system allows drivers to access vehicle functions and features – for example, adjusting cabin temperature or choosing music tracks- using voice, steering wheel toggles and includes an 8” high resolution touch screen. In addition, you can access your calendar and receive alerts to upcoming meetings. The system will even read out your text messages. You can make and receive calls from a Bluetooth®-compatible mobile phone and access your phone book directly. Bluetooth®-enabled audio-streaming takes connectivity to a new level by giving you access to music on your phone, which can be played wirelessly through the vehicle audio system.

Make hands-free calls simply using Bluetooth® with Voice Control*. As you never have to take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road, it can be a safer way to stay in touch. The system also lets you use your voice to programme your DVD navigation, access your climate control and change your audio settings. (Optional as part of pack)

Quickclear puts an end to scraping ice off your windscreen. Simply press the button and the invisible heating elements quickly clear the ice or snow. A smart solution to a regular problem. (Standard on Zetec and Titanium series or optional as part of pack)
