Ford introduces the Focus Active crossover

The all new Ford Focus Active crossover introduces SUV-inspired versatility to the confidence-inspiring, intuitive, and rewarding all new Focus driving experience.

Available in spacious five-door hatchback and estate body styles with rugged exterior styling, the Focus Active features raised ride-height and a bespoke chassis configuration to retain class-leading Focus driving dynamics. At the same time, the Focus Active delivers enhanced rough-road ability and a higher driving position for more confident urban and highway driving.

The active lifestyles of Europe's growing numbers of SUV and crossover customers are further supported by standard roof rails to help carry bicycles or sports equipment.

Sophisticated powertrain options include Ford's powerful and fuel efficient 1.0-litre EcoBoost and 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engines delivering up to 180bhp. Advanced driver assistance features first introduced with the all new Focus earlier this year include more advanced versions of Ford's Adaptive Cruise Control, Adaptive Front Lighting System and Active Park Assist technologies.

The all new Focus Active is the third in Ford's new family of Active crossover models, following the introduction of the all new Fiesta Active and new Ka+ Active models earlier this year.
