All New 2019 Fourth Generation FORD Focus Revealed

After a series of leaks and spy shots over the past few weeks, Ford Focus' fourth generation has finally been shown to the world- Hatch, Sedan and Wagon.

Playing in the busy small car segment, the new Focus will be in direct competition with the likes of Volkswagen Golf, Holden Astra, and the Mazda 3. In the past, Ford Focus has been a class leader with driving dynamics.

The company claims the new Focus has a body that’s 20 per cent more rigid, and ‘remains true to its 20-year legacy of class-leading driving dynamics’. Electric power steering and three selectable driving modes (Normal, Sport and Eco) are standard.

No exact dimensions have been revealed as yet but the new Focus is claimed to have improved interior space, easier ingress and egress, and more cargo space despite its overall dimensions not changing.

With a new ‘cab-rearward’ design and a longer, flatter bonnet line, the latest Focus loses many of the design cues that have distinguished the first three generations. We are seeing this new design also carrying through to other new upcoming models like Toyota Corolla and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

In terms of engines, Australian-bound Focus will be offered with a pair of new-generation three-cylinder petrol engines, including an all-new 1.5-litre EcoBoost unit.

Ford has confirmed the new Focus will make its way to Australia sometime late-2018, with the confirmation also that all versions headed here will be made in Germany, featuring autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection as standard, and offer adaptive cruise control with ‘stop & go’ as an optional extra.

The new small car market is busy and we cannot wait to see how this new Euro will compete with the current leaders. We love the hatch and wagon look, sedan is a little hmmm? The Highrider, let’s wait and see!
