Ford Focus Estate
The Ford Focus is celebrating a decade of success in 2008 with the launch of a refreshed new model. With the signature 'kinetic design' style, enhanced interior, the latest technologies, environmentally aware architecture, and remarkable driving dynamics, the Focus remains the benchmark in the mid-size car market.
Since the original Focus was introduced in 1998, more than 5 million Focuses have been produced across Europe. Its impact on the auto industry is unique, being the only vehicle to have been awarded "Car of the Year" distinction in both Europe and North America, and boasting over 80 awards in Europe. The Focus has also gained in popularity in Asia, becoming a well-known model in multiple markets, including China.
The new Ford Focus models, available in three- and five-door hatchback, wagon, four-door sedan, Focus Coupé-Cabriolet, and Focus ST sport editions, are hitting the streets between late 2007 and early 2008.
The new look of the Ford Focus is what stands out the most. The 'kinetic design' style gives the exterior a revised, modern style while still staying true to its Focus roots.
Martin Smith, Ford of Europe's Executive Director for Design, stated: "It was our goal to ensure that the new model was still recognizable as a Ford Focus, but distinguishable from previous generations. We are pleased with the results, as the Focus enjoys a more assertive presence and emphasized lines that highlight its dynamic handling capabilities. This car demonstrates our 'energy in motion' philosophy that is encompassed in our 'kinetic design' form language."
