The third generation of the Ford Focus debuted at the 2010 North American Motor Show as a 2012 model.
It was available in stores in 2011 in three versions: sedan, hatchback, and station-wagon.

The Focus proved to be a success story for Ford. The compact vehicle was sold in many countries around the world and it was offered in various shapes and with different engines and transmission. From slow but fuel-efficient vehicles to tarmac shredding all-wheel-drive 300 hp monsters. The hatchback and the station-wagon versions were the most popular on the market.

The bodywork was more aerodynamic and it had the new hexagonal face of the radiator grille. Its headlights were closer to those found in the Mondeo, adding more refinement to the known compact-sized vehicle. The taillights featured a controversial design, with the middle side longer than the upper and lower sides.

Inside, there was a new cockpit arrangement. The base model featured a 4” infotainment unit, but a larger, 8” touch-screen unit was available as an option. It featured Bluetooth connectivity and SYNC connectivity package with voice-control and navigation.

The car featured a range of four-cylinder engine, diesel or gasoline-powered. Its power ranged between 95 and 180 hp. These were mated via a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The four-wheel independent suspension ensured a good cornering speed.
