Its elegant design is perfectly complemented by sculptured exterior lines to make a memorable entrance and a fashion statement. So whether you're visiting friends, driving to your favourite shopping strip or heading out to the country for a weekend getaway, the Focus will get you there smoothly and in style.

Inside it is just as striking with the wrap-around driving environment boasting a slick centre console with plenty of useful on-board technology at your fingertips. Plus, when it comes to keeping close with friends, the spacious interior and 60/40 split fold rear seats gives you the flexibility to pack in everyone and their gear just how you want.

Behind the wheel, the responsive steering and superb handling of Focus will inspire you. Every drive will make you feel alive. Choose a 2.0 litre petrol model or the diesel Focus TDCi for greater fuel efficiency. Or if your heart is set on sheer performance, seek out the 166KW turbocharged Focus XR5 Turbo.

So whether you’re looking for a small car to deliver sporty performance, something for zipping easily around town or maybe it’s just outstanding fuel economy you want, there's sure to be a Focus to suit your style.

Stay connected

Smarter thinking with Focus means you stay connected every time you turn the key. With a range of innovative solutions and technology to help keep you in touch with the digital world, the Focus takes 'living life on the road' to another level. So having your world at your fingertips when you're behind the wheel couldn't be easier. You have the freedom to do what you want, when you want, where you want.

iPod Ready

Focus includes on-board technology that allows you to play music direct from your iPod^. So you can take your music with you when you want, where you want. And you can adjust the volume using the steering column mounted audio controls*.

Usb Connectivity

The Focus Zetec includes a handy USB port that allows you to play MP3s direct from your memory stick. Using the USB port, an iPod^ can also be integrated into the Zetec's 6 disc in-dash CD audio system so that you're able to control the iPod using the on-board audio controls. It's just another way that the technology in Focus keeps you connected.

Bluetooth and Voice Control

Standard on Focus XR5 Turbo, a Bluetooth handsfree phone kit and voice control system enables the operation of Bluetooth-compatible mobile phones and the car's audio system via the driver pressing a button and issuing voice commands. The driver's commands are guided by the system issuing audio announcements or questions. This cool feature aids safety and convenience as there's no need for the driver to take their eyes off the road to access controls.

Please visit www.ford-mobile-connectivity.com to view mobile phones compatible with the Bluetooth system.

A drive for excellence

Every Ford Focus is built not just for today but for tomorrow as well. That's because Focus is designed and engineered in Germany with excellence in mind, and is built from the ground up to be exhilarating to drive, with high levels of interior comfort along with the latest safety systems to help keep you in control. Ford's drive for excellence and safety ensures every Focus possesses the type of quality you can rely on, day in day out. So your Focus not only looks great and drives to make you feel alive, it provides you with peace of mind.

5 star ANCAP safety

Focus is big on safety. For your peace of mind, Focus has an ANCAP 5 star safety rating available on all models except Focus XR5 Turbo, and Focus CL is rated 5 stars when specified with an optional safety pack. So it’s good to know that all Focus models come with a mighty long list of safety features that look after both you and your passengers.

Intelligent Safety System

Here's how the Intelligent Safety System (ISS) operates in the event of an emergency. Crash severity sensors located around the vehicle tell the Advanced Restraints Module (ARM) which safety features to deploy, and when. Depending on the locality and severity of the accident, driver and front passenger airbags are activated and where required side airbags deploy from the front seats. The ARM will also determine if driver and front passenger pyrotechnic seatbelt buckle pretensioners are required to assist in pulling you snugly into position. The Intelligent Safety System incorporates:

Driver and front passenger airbags
Pyrotechnic seatbelt pre-tensioners (front only)
Beltminder system
Advanced Restraints Module (ARM)
Crash severity sensors
Side front airbags

Additionally, on all models except Focus CL^, you get the added benefit of side curtain airbags and Dynamic Stability Control with Traction Control and Emergency Brake Assist.
Side curtain airbags, Dynamic Stability Control with Traction Control and Emergency Brake Assist are available as an optional safety pack for Focus CL.

Additional Safety System

The Focus also includes many additional safety features to help keep you secure in the event of an accident. Features include energy absorbing crumple zones to reduce the force of the impact, anti-intrusion clutch and brake pedals that collapse away from the driver's legs to reduce the chance of leg injuries, and a high-strength passenger cell providing additional protection to the occupants from the force of an accident.

Focus comes in diesel

Ford recognises that climate change is a significant global challenge and we have an ongoing commitment to caring for the environment in every facet of our business, including delivering alternative fuel solutions. An efficient diesel is offered in the Focus range which is gentler on the environment than its petrol equivalent thanks to its lower emissions and carbon footprint. And the refined petrol Focus engines are also conscious of fuel economy as well as delivering on performance.

Turbo diesel efficiency

Who's most likely to go further on a tank? Ford Focus diesel, of course. In fact, the diesel Focus TDCi goes 25% further on a tank than the Toyota Corolla*.

The Focus TDCi is not just easier on your wallet but the environment too. That’s because its fuel efficiency and lower emissions compared with its petrol equivalent are just as impressive as the sporty performance. With an advanced 2.0L Duratorq turbo diesel engine, the Focus TDCi's performance and fuel efficiency will both bring a smile to your face. So if you like the idea of saving money on fuel just as much as being conscious of your emissions, the Focus TDCi is a wise choice indeed.

"MEL to SYD on a single tank

Though it carries only a 53 litre fuel tank, the turbo diesel Focus TDCi provides exceptional travel range. So there's less need to re-fuel and less interruption to get to your destination. With a full tank of diesel, the Focus TDCi manual has a range exceeding 900kms so you're potentially able to travel from Melbourne to Sydney without having to do a fuel stop. So not only saving you fuel costs but generating less emissions along the way. It's smart thinking and you'd expect this to come from Ford, of course.

6 speed PowerShift automatic

The optional 6 speed PowerShift automatic transmission on the diesel Focus TDCi features a dual-clutch gearbox to deliver the efficiency and dynamics of a manual with the ease of an automatic. You'll find fuel economy using PowerShift is comparable with a manual yet its performance is not compromised. In fact, with an ADR 81/01 rated diesel fuel consumption of only 5.9L/100km for the Focus TDCi with optional PowerShift, the difference over the manual Focus TDCi is only a minute 0.3L/100 kms. Now isn't that efficient?

Small car, big on choice

The Focus design is an embodiment of Ford's 'Kinetic Design' philosophy which means 'energy in motion'. Each Focus is exciting, athletic and sleek and looks great inside and out. Like choice? You’ve got it. Focus delivers a range of options that seem endless. Hatch or sedan. Auto or manual. Petrol or diesel. There's also a wide palette of eye-catching exterior colours and interior trims. Because everyone's idea of the perfect car is different, you can be sure there's a Focus that’ll suit your style and meet your lifestyle needs.

Get Noticed

Glide your Focus effortlessly into a car space at your favourite shopping strip and you’ll make a memorable entrance and a real fashion statement too. With smooth curves in all the right places the Focus is sure to be the centre of attention wherever you go. You can't help but notice the stylish design of the front grille and tail lamps that complements its sculptured exterior lines.

Poise and Style

The sleek styling of Focus is athletic yet elegant, and ensures you get noticed. Its smooth curves and sculptured lines support the Ford Kinetic Design philosophy of 'energy in motion' so that the car looks like its moving, even when stationary. The latest LV Focus range is available as a 5 door hatch (CL, LX, TDCi, Zetec and XR5 Turbo) or 4 door sedan (CL and LX).

Sit Back and Relax

Make yourself at home inside the Focus Zetec. Everything is at your fingertips and designed for your comfort. As you start your drive, feel the leather on the steering wheel and switch on the cruise control. Enjoy the sounds from the 6-disc in-dash CD audio system. Connect your iPod^ using the on-board USB port for an even greater music selection. Then adjust the volume using the controls located on the steering column. It's all too easy and so much to enjoy.
