The third generation of the Ford Focus was launched in 2012 and after just two years it received a facelift.
It was the most sold vehicle nameplate in the world at that time.

The compact market was very competitive in 2014. After the whole world got out of recession and the economy was booming, the car sales went up through the roof. Ford understood that offering a wide choice of bodies will make the Focus a winner. The third generation of Focus was offered as a sedan as well as a hatchback or a station-wagon.

The hatchback was the choice for many European customers, thanks to its practicality. With the rear seats folded, the trunk reached 1350 liters (47.6 cu-ft). The new design for the headlights and taillights brought more appeal to the car. The slimmer headlights and the re-designed grille made the car look more aggressive.

Inside, an option for an 8” touch-screen monitor on the center stack incorporated more buttons from the center stack. The standard version featured a 4.2” display. Regardless of the size of the screen, the Focus Sedan featured a standard back-up camera. The instrument cluster was similar to the non-facelifted version, but a recalibrated Electric power-steering enhanced the driving experience. In the back, there was room for three adults, but only two could have fit comfortably, and only if they were of average size.

Ford Focus hatchback was offered with a wide choice of diesel and gasoline engines. It started with a 1.0-liter EcoBoost unit and went all the way up to a 2.0-liter EcoBoost. The 2.3-liter version was available only for the RS range.
