2014 FORD Focus Estate 1.0L EcoBoost 6AT FWD (125 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The third generation of the Ford Focus debuted at the 2010 North American Motor Show as a 2012 model. In 2014, at the Geneva Motor Show, a mid-life cycle refresh was unveiled.

The Focus proved to be a success story for Ford. The compact vehicle was sold in many countries around the world and it was offered in various shapes and with different engines and transmission. From slow but fuel-efficient vehicles to tarmac shredding all-wheel-drive 300 hp monsters. The hatchback and the station-wagon versions were the most popular on the market.

The 2014 facelift enhanced the values that made the Focus so popular. There were new grille and lights up front and some minor changes to the rear. The roof-rails remained a standard-fit for the car. The main flaw of the hatchback, when compared to other vehicles in its class, was the trunk space. But for those who knew they will need roomier interior, the station-wagon was a good option.

Inside, the 2014 model came with a new infotainment system with an 8” touch-screen monitor on top of the center console. The Focus was the first Ford to receive the SYNC 2 in-car connectivity system in Europe. The biggest interior advantage for the station-wagon version was the headroom for the rear passengers, due to the extended roof. The trunk offered 476 liters (16.8 cu-ft) with the seats in place, but that can be expanded to a hefty 1502 liters (53 cu-ft).
