The new 2017 Ford Focus is racing its way on to streets, and it's sure to turn heads with its fun, sleek design available in several vibrant colors. The car is said to appear in motion even when standing still, but it looks even faster when driving, because it's the fastest and most aerodynamic production Focus in the world.
A new feature in the Focus models is the newly designed standard Torque Vectoring Control, to help the driver easily navigate curves by allowing the front wheels to steer and grip the road better, especially when driving in slippery conditions. PowerShift automatic transmission is also available in the Focus, to improve fuel efficiency and driving experience. The features keep coming as the Focus also adds electric power assisted steering, six-speed transmission, and active grill shutters to the list.
If the leather-trimmed, detailed French seamed heated front seats that are available aren't your taste, the standard Focus will feature Cloth bucket seats with two-way adjustable headrests that are sure to maximize your comfort as well. The EcoGuide SmartGauge feature has several customizable displays to help you better tailor your driving habits for the most efficient drive. Passengers in the front seat will also be treated to dual-zone heating and air conditioning, perfect for those with different comfort levels. The Focus features seven airbags to keep all of your passengers safe. The door intrusion beams are also made of boron steel to protect the driver and all passengers in side-on collisions.
Cameras on the mirrors and rear of the Focus are in place to assist drivers when backing up or switching lanes, giving you an extra set of eyes to keep you safe. Smart USB ports will allow you to charge your phones while listening to your favorite music at the same time. The Focus also has push-to-start available which can start your vehicle with just a push of a button.
Efficiency is key in the 2017 Ford Focus, which is a trustworthy vehicle to keep you and your passengers safe and comfortable, but you'll also make people jealous with your fun new ride.
