It's also interesting to note that apart from the Renault Megane sedan, the Focus is the only other European engineered and built 1.6 litre car in the The last Focus set a benchmark in its class, and the new sedan has been developed to expand the Focus' reach even beyond its better mknown three and five door siblings, even if the cabin space is the same as offered by the five door hatchback, boot aside. From the rear three quarters, the Focus sedan comes across as crisp and discreet, with triangular rear lamps that make it look like a scaled down Mondeo, an important point in status conscious Asian markets. What has also helped is that the new Focus has leaner and more elegant lines and these lend themselves better to a four-door sedan than the aggressively bold styling of the previous model.
The first thing one notice about the sedan is that it looks well proportioned and neat, unlike the last model, which looked like it had its boot grafted on as an afterthought. Perhaps it is because, unlike the previous Focus, the new one especially this saloon version is targeted at the Asian markets. Why would Ford showcase its best-selling European model in Asia before its world premier in Europe? It launched the Focus range at the Paris Motor Show in late September last year, but the prototype Focus Concept, a thinly disguised Focus sedan, was actually revealed three months earlier in June at the Beijing Motor Show.
Ford has done things a little differently with the new Focus, especially the four door sedan model.
