The Ford focus went under the knife, not because it needed it, but because they were determined to eliminate the rare shortcomings of the blue oval and give it the characteristic "aston" engine mask, first seen on the fiesta. In addition, they renewed the range of engines, added two 1.5-liter ones and further improved the Focus' rich range of advanced technology. This is the new Ford focus 2015.
By design refurbished Ford focus can be recognized by the characteristic large engine masks, which will soon become the trademark of most Ford models, and this, together with the low engine cover, drew narrow and more spread out lights and, as a result, a significantly more aggressive front part of the vehicle. From the side, there are fewer changes at first glance, but even so, they are here in the form of roof racks for the station wagon and a new line of alloy wheels. At the rear, the observer initially notices similar lights, but they have been proportionally reduced, there are also some differences on the trunk lid and bumper, but you will only notice them if both Ford Focuses are parked next to each other (before and after the renovation).
The Ford Focus model has a lot of new features, including inside, where they are designers listened to critics or rather the observations of customers and dedicated to him more refined center console with a significantly smaller number of buttons, better materials and finishing, and a little evolution has also been prepared in the field of advanced technology, where the Focus has been leading the segment in recent years in which it is driven all the way.
