The Ford Focus is powered by a wide range of advanced engines, both petrol and diesel, with various capacities and outputs. Here we’ve highlighted the two most recent additions.
Higher performance, lower costs, lower carbon
Get behind the wheel of the Focus and you’ll enjoy the car’s power, dynamism and agility. And you can do so in the knowledge that it’s been designed with economy and the environment, as well as your driving pleasure, in mind.
Below, you can find out why the Focus is so exhilarating to drive and how its impact on both your pocket and the environment has been minimised.
Note: All CO2 emissions figures in g/km and fuel consumption figures are from officially approved tests in accordance with EC Directive 93/116/EC. Fuel economy figures quoted are based on the European Fuel Economy Directive EU 80/1268/EEC and will differ from fuel economy drive cycle results in other regions of the world.

A new, class-leading petrol engine that saves you 20% on fuel.
The new 1.0 100PS EcoBoost delivers the power you’d expect from a 1.6, but uses 20% less fuel than conventional engines of its size. That means a considerable saving at the petrol pump. Its diesel-like fuel consumption is thanks to a fundamental re-engineering, resulting in a faster engine warm-up and reduced friction, among other benefits.
PowerShift automatic gearbox. For more fun on less fuel.
Combining the convenience of an automatic with the control of a manual, this six-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox pre-selects the next gear for you, so you don’t lose any power when you change.
PowerShift’s lightning fast, seamless gear changes not only make driving smoother and more pleasurable, but also save fuel and lower CO2 emissions compared to a normal automatic.
This state-of-the-art technology even compensates if you find yourself in the wrong gear. For example, if you’re overtaking, it can drop a gear and give you the power to accelerate swiftly and the control (and confidence) to make a safe pass.
The acclaimed Focus driving experience is now better than ever. Extensive development and continuous refinement have resulted in more grip, better control and sharper handling when you're cornering or braking. Here are a couple of reasons why.
Maximum grip for greater control
Torque Vectoring Control reacts to the road surface100 times per second. (That’s 33 times faster than the blink of an eye.) Using this information, it repeatedly balances the amount of power and braking delivered to each of the two front wheels. This maximises grip and sharpens handling, helping you round corners and over undulations in the road. Torque Vectoring Control is a cutting-edge technology that comes as standard on all Focus models.
Alongside its range of improved engines, the Ford Focus has a number of intelligent features and innovative technologies that make it more economical to run.
City driver? Use up to 10% less fuel with Auto-Start-Stop
When the Focus is stationary, such as at traffic lights or idling in a queue, this technology automatically switches off the engine (while still supplying power to essentials like the aircon and radio). Then it restarts, the moment you're ready to move. It's ideal if you do most of your driving in town, as it can cut your fuel consumption by 10% (urban cycle).
A more economical way to re-charge your battery
Unlike conventional systems, Smart Regenerative Charging only charges the battery when it needs it, and when it’s most economical to do so. For instance, when you’re braking, the technology converts the force used into electrical energy, to help re-charge the battery while you're on the move. This can help save fuel and reduce emissions.
Unique grille shutter for increased economy
With the Active Grille Shutter system, the grille vent stays open to cool the engine when you’re driving slowly, but automatically closes when you pick up speed. The closed position improves aerodynamics, which can increase fuel economy by up to 0.8% on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Over time, it can make a big difference.
Shift Indicator for fuel-efficient gear changes
A light on the instrument panel tells you when to change gear for maximum fuel efficiency. It’s a simple but effective way to help make every journey more economical.
A smart info system to help you drive more efficiently
The innovative Ford Eco Mode system continually assesses the effects of your driving behaviour on your fuel consumption, including: speed, gear shifting, braking and anticipation levels, plus the proportion of short to long trips. Smart software then advises you on how to improve your fuel economy, according to your unique driving style.
