The compact range of Ford, the focus, is new and loaded with technology for 2019. A new interior and exterior design and improved interior materials will surely usher new buyers into the segment. Ford unveiled the new focus in Germany for the European market, with the US expected to get the model imported from China from the second half of 2019.

The wheelbase grows by two inches (53 millimeters) and helps to increase the cabin space while reducing front and rear overhangs. Torsional stiffness is improved by 20 percent over the previous Gen focus. The new focus even picks up the cues from the RS, using the same extruded foam in the rear under body cavity.
