The Focus is an important car that is powered by new engines and boasts new safety and tech features. It features the latest version of the Sync infotainment system with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an available head-up display, 8.0 inch touchscreen display, Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices, and a wireless charging pad.
The CoPilot360 suite makes its way into the new Focus with driver assist safety tech and a fully automated self-parking system that controls braking, gear selecting, and acceleration.
2019 Ford Focus Engine, Performance, and Transmission
The Focus comes with a standard four-cylinder that is not as capable as the turbocharged engines in many competitors. If you opt for the sedan however, you will get a small and efficient turbo three cylinder engine, which is slightly offset by the sheer weight of the Focus.
Standard trims have engines mated with six-speed automatic transmissions while the higher-end models will feature eight-speed automatic.
2019 Ford Focus Fuel Economy
In terms of fuel efficiency, the Focus can’t be beat. It is hands down one of the best fuel sippers in its price range, outperforming most of its competitors. If fuel efficiency is something that you take seriously, then the turbocharged three-cylinder 1.0 liter engine with six-speed manual is the setup you should choose. Its engine has stop/start system and is rated by the EPA as 40 mpg highway.
2019 Ford Focus Interiors
The dashboard has been moved forward to make the interiors feel a little roomier. It is easy to reach the touchscreen which is mounted higher up. The infotainment system has a set of shortcuts with high quality knobs and buttons, making it easy to control things such as climate control. The music system is a high-end 675 watt from B&O Play.
The Focus has many safety features available including lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist.
2019 Ford Focus Suspension and Handling
The Focus handles admirably well no matter which version you choose. It has an array of suspension options, although the lower powered models have a simple rear suspension design that gives a composed ride. Adaptive dampers are an option on the higher end trim levels.
The steering is superb and can be described as light in town yet meaty and precise enough for you to guide it with high accuracy. Keen drivers will appreciate the Focus above other models in its class.
2019 Ford Focus Warranty and Maintenance
Ford’s warranty program measures up to its competitors. Buyers will get limited warranty for 36,000 miles or 3 years. The powertrain is covered under a warranty of 60,000 miles or 5 years.
2019 Ford Focus Quality
The Focus’s interior feels sturdy and has all soft upholstery that is comfortable. There are few thoughtful touches such as carpeted front door bins that prevent keys from jangling. Other models feature faux chrome, carbon fiber highlights, and leather wrapped dashboards.
