OVERVIEW
After an update earlier this year, the mainstream Focus range is simpler to understand, with less models and just one engine choice (not counting the sport ST and RS variants of course).
The Titanium model remains at the top of the range, this time without a diesel option. Instead a 1.5 litre EcoBoost turbo petrol four-cylinder, mated to a conventional six-speed automatic takes the place of the last model’s naturally-aspirated 2.0 litre engine and dual-clutch auto.
