What Changed

The new 4-door sedan is part of this extensively refreshed Focus lineup. Although the US Focus has not adopted the European Focus platform, Ford has chosen to completely restyle its compact car to make it more competitive. Only the 2.0L Duratec engine offered, mated to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. The interior has also been redesigned for a more contemporary (or flashy) appearance.
