Ford Powertrain

The 2018 Focus has several powerful engines in its lineup, such as its 1.0L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder engine. This engine, which comes standard on the Focus SE Sedan, includes fuel-saving Auto Start-Stop technology and puts out an outstanding EPA-estimated 40 highway MPG¹ when equipped with the standard 6-speed manual transmission.  

The other available engines in the powertrain lineup include a 2.0L Ti-VCT I-4 engine, a 2.0L Ti-VCT I-5 engine, a 2.0L EcoBoost® engine, and a 2.3L EcoBoost® engine. The latter engine specializes in power output-with this engine, you'll be able to enjoy an impressive 350 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.

As far as transmissions go, you have four to choose from: a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic with SelectShift®, and a 6-speed PowerShift automatic with SelectShift®.

Ford Focus Interior

To go with its remarkable power and efficiency, the 2018 Ford Focus offers many standard and available convenience and entertainment features that will enhance your drive and give way to unbeatable personalization.

Standard in the Focus is the SYNC® Voice Recognition Communication and Entertainment System with a color LCD display. This system allows you to use your voice to send text messages, make phone calls, select your favorite audio, and utilize the standard rearview camera. Upgrade to the available SYNC® 3 system to access the available Navigation System, SiriusXM®, and Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.

The Focus also offers an available Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (DEATC). Keep everyone comfortable by customizing two different climate zones.

Ford Advanced Active & Passive Safety

The 2018 Ford Focus is not just powerful and smart-it has a third specialty in safety. Standard in the Focus are dual-stage front airbags, AdvanceTrac® with Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).  

When you upgrade your SYNC® system to the available SYNC® 3, you'll be able to enjoy a myriad of available driver-assist features, including the BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert, the Lane-Keeping System, and Active Park Assist.

These active safety features use a series of advanced sensors and cameras to monitor your vehicle's environment. When another vehicle is detected while you're backing up, moving forward, or parking, these features will let you know of any obstacles using auditory and visual warnings to ensure that you stop in time.
