Ford Focus 2018–2022 car dimensions: 4668 mm long, 1825 mm wide and 1494 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,383 kg. Braked towing is 1,600 kg.
SYNC 3 touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard from mid trims, giving easy phone integration and clear menus. Dual-zone climate appears on Titanium and above while basic models stick to manual air conditioning. Cruise control is fitted across the range. Pre-Collision Assist with automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping aid with departure warning come as standard for everyday safety. Front and rear parking sensors plus a reversing camera are trim-dependent, making tight spaces easier on higher grades. Blind-spot monitoring is available on upper trims or as an option. The cabin feels roomy for the class with solid rear legroom and simple controls that keep the drive stress-free.
The estate boot holds 608 litres to the parcel shelf with seats up and expands to 1653 litres when the 60/40 rear bench folds nearly flat. A low load lip, wide opening and adjustable floor with under-floor storage make loading bags or bulky items straightforward for family or weekend use.
Braked towing reaches up to 1600 kg depending on engine and gearbox, with unbraked limits around 750 kg. Payload sits near 546 kg on typical models. This supports light trailer or caravan work without specialised heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension packages listed as standard.
The cabin offers generous shoulder room and improved rear knee clearance with a flat floor for better passenger space. Higher trims feature multi-way power adjustable front seats with lumbar support and ergonomic design for solid support on long drives. Vignale models add acoustic glass for quieter rides by cutting external noise. An optional panoramic roof brings in light and air, while heated front seats and steering wheel appear on upper grades for cold weather comfort. Soft-touch materials and ambient lighting on premium versions give a plush feel without excess weight.
Efficient EcoBoost petrol and EcoBlue diesel engines available across the range.
Service intervals typically 15,000-30,000 km or 12-24 months depending on engine.
Euro NCAP 5-star rating with 85% adult occupant, 87% child occupant, 72% vulnerable road users and 75% safety assist.
Standard safety includes Pre-Collision Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping aid and multiple airbags.
Fuel economy benefits from advanced EcoBoost petrol and EcoBlue diesel options with stop-start technology on many versions. Combined figures vary by engine and transmission but favour efficiency for daily and long-distance use. Higher-output units still deliver strong performance without major thirst increases.
Servicing follows fixed intervals based on mileage or time, with oil and filter changes at the core. Diesels often need more frequent attention than petrols. Ford Protect plans cover scheduled work and can include roadside assistance for predictable costs.
Safety stands out with a full five-star Euro NCAP score under updated protocols. The structure uses high-strength steels for strong crash protection. Standard kit covers autonomous braking that works in low light, blind-spot monitoring options and post-collision braking to reduce secondary impacts.
Keeping the car straightforward means sticking to the service schedule and using approved fluids. Warranty runs three years or 60,000 miles as base, with extensions available. Regular checks on brakes, tyres and filters keep running costs in check over ownership.
