Exciting new models from FORD

FORD Motor Company has some very exciting new models on the way:

The new Ford Focus that goes on sale in the second half of 2014; new Ford Mustang that arrives in Europe in 2015; and new Ford Edge Concept that gives a strong indication of the technology, design and craftsmanship direction of the company's new large SUV for Europe; are among the more than 25 new vehicles Ford is launching over five years.

The new Ford Focus with its bolder, more emotive exterior design and finely crafted new interior is the first Ford to offer Perpendicular Parking, a new hands-free parking technology that helps drivers reverse into spaces alongside other cars; Cross Traffic Alert, which warns drivers reversing out of a parking space of vehicles that may soon be crossing behind them; and Park-Out Assist, which helps drivers as they exit a parallel parking space.

The new Ford Mustang is confirmed to go on sale in Europe for the first time after almost 50 years of production, promising world-class levels of performance while embracing the Mustang's heritage and status as a nine million-selling global icon.

Featuring powerful new 2.3-litre EcoBoost and 5.0 litre V8 engine options, the new Mustang also offers advanced driver convenience and driver aid technologies. Debuting in Europe on the new Focus, SYNC 2 offers multiple connectivity options including two USB ports. Its split-screen navigation system shows landmarks and major junctions on screen in 3D and features the MICHELIN guide and MICHELIN Green Guide.

Ford's SYNC 2 technology enables voicecontrol of navigation, climate, phone and entertainment using natural voice commands and a new high-resolution eight-inch colour touch screen in Europe for the first time.

Simply pushing the voice control button and saying ‘I'm hungry’ will bring up a list of local restaurants, while navigation destinations can be entered by saying the full address at once.
