The Ford Focus, consistently a top-selling car in the UK, provides a comfortable and versatile driving experience. The latest models are designed with increased length and width, offering enhanced interior space and improved handling.
Available in a variety of body styles and trim levels, the Ford Focus caters to diverse needs and budgets. Prices range from £11,395 for the entry-level three-door 1.4 Studio model to £19,200 for the premium 1.6 16-valve TDCi Titanium estate with Durashift CVT transmission.
The base Studio model comes equipped with features like electric front windows and central locking. Its favorable insurance rating, thanks to a range of safety features, makes it an economical choice for new drivers and families.
Ford’s Intelligent Protection System, standard on all models, includes driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags, and front seatbelt pre-tensioners. Anti-lock braking with electronic brake force distribution further enhances safety by preventing wheel lockup during sudden braking.
ISOFIX seat mounts are included for easy and secure installation of child seats. Ford emphasizes the Focus’s safety, highlighting its five-star Euro NCAP rating, a key factor in determining insurance groups.
Standard security features such as immobilizers and central locking, with remote operation available on LX models and above, can also help lower insurance premiums. The Ghia model adds a Thatcham category one volume-sensing alarm for enhanced security and reduced risk of theft.
Excluding the high-performance ST models, the Ford Focus range generally falls into insurance group 10E or lower, particularly for the Ghia and Titanium models.
