New Ford Focus Mild Hybrid

Available as a Focus Mild Hybrid

The Focus Mild Hybrid engine uses a small electric motor with a 48-volt battery to improve efficiency. Instead of driving solely on electric power, the electric motor provides extra torque assistance to the petrol engine when needed. The Focus Mild Hybrid also uses regenerative braking technology, which charges the battery by capturing energy that’s usually lost when you slow down. This helps increase your fuel economy and reduce emissions.

A sophisticated 8-speed automatic transmission

With improved acceleration and super-smooth gear changes, the advanced automatic transmission is engineered from the ground up to enhance your driving experience and maximise performance. The traditional gear lever is replaced with a console-mounted rotary gear shift dial. This gives the interior a cleaner, more modern layout. And there's another useful feature: when you park your car, the shifter automatically sets itself to parking mode. Only available on automatic.

Get the most out of your engine

The new and improved 1.0 and 1.5 litre Ford EcoBoost 3-cylinder petrol engines are designed to give you all the power you’d expect from much larger engines. Ford EcoBoost technology delivers performance that’s smooth, responsive and rewarding. To make them even more efficient, both engines now feature cylinder deactivation. This shuts off a cylinder when torque demand is low, such as on a motorway. When torque demand increases, the cylinder springs back to life to give you the power you need.
