The new Focus has been revamped but the changes are relatively subtle. There’s a new grille, with the famous Ford oval now floating in the centre, while new headlights and bumpers have also been fitted. As styling updates go it’s hardly ground-breaking stuff, and we’re not entirely convinced that it’s an aesthetic improvement, but it does somehow m...
Ford’s interiors have not been especially impressive in recent years, and the Focus’ cabin remains something of a mixed bag. The new oversize touchscreen appears to be master of all it surveys in there, but the design is generally quite futuristic and modern. It isn’t classically beautiful or a minimalist paradise, but it feels cool in a spaceshipp...
Arguably the biggest upgrade for the new Focus is its new touchscreen infotainment system, which is available on all but the entry level models. From corner to corner it measures 13.2in, and it dominates the dashboard to an almost comical extent. It sits above the air vents like an enormous wall-mounted television. It uses the same operating system...
While Ford may have worked hard on the touchscreen and the exterior upgrades, it hasn’t done very much to the oily bits. You still get much the same choice of engines as before, with a selection of petrol and diesel powerplants to peruse.

You see, the Focus has long been the gold standard when it comes to driver engagement, and although it has been challenged by the Ma...
The Focus is on sale now in hatchback and estate forms, with prices starting at £23,500 for the basic Trend model. That car comes with LED headlights and the old eight-inch satellite navigation system, as well as a heated windscreen and parking sensors at the front and rear, but it also comes with 16-inch steel wheels, which might put some customer...
The new Focus is not dramatically different from its predecessor but it has improved some of the old car’s weak spots. The new infotainment system is a massive step forward, and though we’re unsure about the grille, the new styling generally makes the updated car feel more modern. And while the engines and driving experience are unchanged, they wer...
