New Ford Focus

FORD HAS been mulling over the launch of the Focus in India for many years now. Scoop shots of Ford person­nel driving the current Focus around Chennai indi­cate the company’s serious­ness. The Focus’ latest facelift revealed at Frankfurt is quite a looker. The saloon version hasn’t been released yet, but the car is reportedly ready and should be released any time soon. The engine of choice is likely to be the Ford’s 1.6 TDCi diesel that stresses on attaining very attractive fuel economy figure. The more powerful 2.0-litres diesel and a 1.8-litre Duratec petrol are also on the cards. The new Focus would also feature Ford’s Powershift Automatic Transmission. The Focus has always been a fantastic ride and handling package, and you wouldn’t be wrong in expecting the world of it. Here’s one that’s worth waiting for.
