The fourth generation 'C519'-series Ford Focus launched in 2018 put its maker right back into contention in the family hatchback segment, with smarter looks, much improved interior quality and extra technology. There was also greater efficiency beneath the bonnet from a completely rejuvenated range of engines and what Ford claimed to be class-leadi...
It's very difficult to over-state the importance of the Focus family hatch to Ford's European business. By the time of the launch of this 'C519'-series MK4 design in 2018, it had been on sale for over two decades with 16 million global sales. For our part of the world, it had proved to be the company's most important market offering since the Model...
Here's a car that in this MK4 form certainly grew up - matured - in almost every way. You might, like us, wish that Ford had been a touch more adventurous about this fourth generation Focus model's design, but you can see at a glance that it better meets the key criteria for the kind of car a family hatchback should be.

This fourth generation Focus, like its predecessors, has a reputation as a family hatchback with the ability to entertain at the wheel - and if you enjoy your driving, that's something you'll appreciate pretty early on the first time you try one. Twenty years ago, the original version of this model achieved much the same thing by standardising adva...
Has any car had more of an impact on modern era motoring than the Ford Focus? Other family hatchbacks from this era can better the fourth generation version of this car in some regards, but they still can't make their family hatchback contenders drive like a Focus. It's true that there are some caveats in that regard. The lower-powered models with ...
