Ford is readying a range of additional variants of
the fourth-generation Focus, such as the Focus ST, as well as an off-road
styled SUV. Another variant should be a Focus Active wagon.
It’s unclear what lurks underneath the bonnet, but
Ford is offering two EcoBoost petrol and two EcoBlue diesel engines for the
Focus in Europe. The petrol units are a 1.0 litre EcoBoost that has been
reengineered and is available in 85 PS, 100 PS and 125 PS output tunes, as well
as a new 1.5 litre three-cylinder EcoBoost unit which makes either 150 PS and
182 PS, and both feature cylinder deactivation.
The two EcoBlue diesels are of the 1.5 litre and 2.0
litre variety, the all-new 1.5 litre oil burner coming in 95 PS and 120 PS
output tunes (both with 300 Nm) and the 2.0 litre in a solitary 150 PS ad 370
Nm guise. In terms of partnering transmissions, there are two, a six-speed
manual and a new eight-speed automatic gearbox, which is available for the
first time on the Focus.
