Ford Focus Stars in 10 Best Redesigned
Vehicles List
Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com named the
hot-selling Ford Focus to its list of 10
Best Redesigned
Vehicles for 2012. Focus was honored for
its styling, technology, comfort and
convenience features, performance /
capability, driving dynamics, safety,
fuel economy, overall refinement and
value.
Editors selected Ford’s latest small car
offering because, 'Focus has been more
than just redesigned for 2012; it’s been
reworked, restyled and completely
changed from the model it replaces,' all
without straying from its “American
roots.”
Both the Focus Sedan and Hatchback
display the latest evolution of Ford's
'kinetic design' language that is both
more aggressive and more aerodynamic.
While their overall footprints remain
similar to the 2011 Sedan, a slightly
lower roofline, longer wheelbase and
substantially wider front / rear track
dimensions give the 2012 Focus lineup a
more planted appearance.
Effectively accenting the new look are
stylized headlamp / taillamp treatments
and wheel / tyre fitments which include
215 / 55 R16 tyres with 16 inch steel
wheels and alloy wheels on different
grades.
The 2012 Ford Focus gets a clean-sheet
recasting that brings a new look,
enhanced quality, more features, and
upgraded options in a slightly larger
but far more dynamic package. Based on
Ford's global C-platform, this compact
front-driver features an international
design pedigree and introduces numerous
class-exclusive technologies, including
a host of premium-level comfort /
convenience / safety touches.
A comprehensive makeover raises an
already popular player in its segment to
a position of prominence and possible
dominance thanks to the addition of a
new hatchback body style, greatly
expanded / upgraded feature set.
All 2012 Focus models are fitted with a
new, naturally aspirated 1.6-liter
in-line four that features gasoline
direct fuel-injection and Ford's
twin-independent variable camshaft
timing (Ti-VCT). This smooth free-revver
makes 123 horsepower and 23.2 Kg-m of
torque – and can be paired with a
five-speed manual or a new six-speed
dual-clutch automatic.
In Oman, Ford vehicles are brought to
