Ford Focus 2013–2018 car dimensions: 4534 mm long, 1823 mm wide and 1484 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,284 kg. Braked towing is 700 kg.
Base models come with manual air conditioning and a basic audio setup with Bluetooth. Higher grades add dual-zone climate control, an 8-inch touchscreen with SYNC 2, cruise control, rear parking sensors and optional Active City Stop low-speed braking. Lane-keeping aid, blind-spot warning and a reversing camera are available on upper trims or in packs. The cabin feels practical with decent storage after the facelift update.
The sedan boot holds 475 litres with a tyre repair kit. Space is a deep, usable shape for luggage but rear seats do not expand it like a hatch.
Braked towing is rated at 700 kg and unbraked around 630 kg for this 1.6 engine. Payload sits near 540 kg. It suits light trailer use or occasional loads but is not set up as a workhorse.
Comfort-style seats offer good support with manual height and recline adjustment plus lumbar on higher grades. Dual-zone climate control and power driver's seat appear on Titanium. Solar-tinted glass and carbon cabin filter come standard. The cabin feels practical with solid driving position and adequate space for four adults.
Combined fuel use 5.9 l/100 km
Service every 20 000 km or 12 months

The 1.6 Ti-VCT petrol engine records a combined figure of 5.9 litres per 100 km with CO2 at 136 g/km on hatch models and close figures on the sedan.
Oil and filter changes fall due every 20 000 km or once a year. The timing belt needs replacement at 160 000 km or eight years.
The generation scored five stars at Euro NCAP with 92 percent adult protection. Standard kit covers ABS, electronic stability control, front side and curtain airbags plus ISOFIX points.
Parts and dealers remain widely available across Europe so routine upkeep stays straightforward.
