A Highlight On The 2018 Ford Focus

The new Ford Focus brings a lot to the table. With an MSRP from 17,860, the Focus is an affordable choice with a ton of great options.  The Ford Focus continues to boast great handling and impressive fuel efficiency. Balancing a stylish edge with practical family sensibilities make it the perfect car for those who appreciate both of those attributes. The 2018 Ford Focus is available in both hatchback and sedan models and can be found at your Cincinnati Ford Dealers late Spring of 2018. Let’s take a look at some of its great new features.

Roomier Interior Space

Improving interior space was a big priority when designing the 2018 Focus. The Focus Mk4 has an increased wheelbase of its global C platform, freeing up room for passengers and their carry-on.  A simpler dashboard also makes the new Ford Focus feel more modern. Controls are organized in a logical style on the dashboard and 8.0-inch touchscreen (in models equipped with the Sync 3 infotainment system) that holds most other functions. The Ford Focus S and SE models without Sync 3 have a 4.2-inch display with a variety of buttons below to control the studio system and Bluetooth functions.

Exterior Updates

The SE EcoBoost Appearance package from last year which included 16-inch aluminum wheels, gloss-black grille, black headlamp surrounds, LED exterior lighting, and fog lamps – gets a name change to SE Appearance packages and is now available to select on all SE models.

Four new metallic colors were added to refresh the Ford Focus color options: Blue, Hot pepper Red, Lightning Blue, and Outrageous Green. Be sure to check out these new exciting colors in person at your Cincinnati Ford dealers. Trim dimensions make this a great urban car because it is easy to park and fits into small spaces easily.

Safety and Technology Features

Safety Features on the 2018 Ford Focus include side-mounted airbags, rear airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control. Available driver-assist technology include a camera and sensors mounted to specific areas on the car to help drivers be more aware of other vehicles and objects that are next to and behind your vehicle, a Reverse Sensing System, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert, Lane Keeping System, active park assist, and SYNC 3.

Also available is intelligent access with push-button start. On cars equipped with this technology, you can conveniently keep your key fob in your pocket or bag and open the driver’s door by touching the inside of the door handle. To start the Ford Focus, simply hold down the brake pedal while pushing the start button to start the engine. This feature is standard on the Focus Titanium, Focus, ST, Limited-Edition Focus RS and Focus Electric model.

USB ports feature smart technology that interprets how much power to supply to a specific device you have plugged in. In the S, SE, and ST models there is a single port in the center cluster and two ports standard in the SEL, Titanium, and Limited-Edition Focus with the second port being located in the center console. The MyFord mobile app allows drivers to remotely and easily control many of the featured technology and driver assist specifications available on the 2018 Ford Focus. Visit your Cincinnati Ford dealers to check out all of these standard and optional features that are sure to enhance your driving experience to exactly what you are looking for.

Reduced Equipment

Some of the upgrades to the interior of the new Ford Focus actually involve removing equipment. Ford Focus S, SE, and SEL models have seen a reduction of equipment as of 2018. Some of the changes include replacing the four-way adjustable headrests with two-way versions. Exterior mirror turn- signal indicators were removed from trims on SE models, rear-seat floor mats were removed in S models, and the auxiliary input jack and door release handle ambient lighting elements have been removed in all models. SE and SEL models no longer come with a drivers-side seatback map pocket, and the single-disc CD player has been removed from the S and SE models as well.

Impressive Options

For those who want a little extra in their Ford Focus, choosing the SEL Trim Level really delivers incredible options. The 2018 SEL hatchback model offers a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, 8.0 touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Dual-Zone automatic climate control, and 17-inch wheels. Add in the cold weather package, featuring heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, for those frosty Winter mornings and this impressively optioned Focus comes in at around a 23,095 sticker price.

Additional packages include an SE appearance package, Reverse Sensing System, Active Park Assist, Titanium Technology Package, Power Moonroof, and the BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert.

Performance and Driving Experience

If you test-drive a 2018 Ford Focus at a dealership in Cincinnati, you’ll notice that, like past models, it remains pleasant to drive with a nice balance between a comfortable ride and responsive handling. The new model Focus remains playful on the road for 2018. Quick steering and a responsive, balanced chassis make the 2018 Ford Focus one of the most fun cars in its class to drive. The well-designed chassis also results in a very composed and smooth ride that makes the Focus seem much more expensive than it is.
