FOCUS LEG-UP

Ford is readying its new Focus for launch in the first half of this year, possibly at the Geneva motor show in March. The car won’t be any bigger than the current model but it will have a longer wheelbase so the rear legroom matches that of its rivals.

It’ll also be lighter, more efficient and be available with an electric powertrain. Only five-door models will be available. Ford might build an ‘Active’ version of the Focus which will sit higher off the ground and possibly also feature four-wheel drive.
