Start More Than A Car.

Forget fun to drive. Bumper cars are fun to drive. The 2012 Focus has an intense side that comes out when you push the start button. It comes with an all-new chassis and suspension that's tighter and better than ever, and a new cornering assist system that puts the torque where the traction is. We took some very sweet performance technology and put it at your finger tips. Available spring 2011.

For 2012, the Focus offers crisp handling thanks to a rear stabilizer bar and our fully-independent control blade rear suspension that stubbornly resist body roll. The available Titanium Handling Package is taut and confidence inspiring -- it adds a unique sport-tuned suspension with 18" wheels and low profile summer-only tires. You'll look forward to a ride you'll love every day.

Our 2.0L Ti-VCT I4 engine is all-new for the 2012 Focus. The class-exclusive Direct injection* provides a cooler, denser more precise charge while our Twin independent Variable Cam Timing self adjusts for efficient performance at low rpm and exhilarating power when you step on it. So you can go green and go quickly.

An infusion of ultra high strength boron steel fortifies the body structure of the new Focus, adding protection while reducing weight. It's up to four times stronger than normal high strength steel. Trimming weight is yet another way we enhance fuel economy. Boron steel let's us do that while maintaining safety.

Wheels add a spark of cool that few other automotive design elements can. So for 2012, Focus offers 11 unique styles. Our Titanium models get 17" sport aluminum beauties. Want more? Opt for our 18-inch stunners with low profile summer performance tires.

Our available rain-sensing wipers are all-new for the 2012 Focus. When activated, they use an advanced optical sensor to detect the intensity of rain and/or snowfall to adjust wiper speed. They automatically go on when moisture is sensed.

Introducing available class exclusive MyFord Touch technology.* It will do for the Focus what touch screens did for the phone. A simple, intuitive eight-inch touch screen you can customize puts the controls at your fingertips.** Many functions are voice-activated. Meanwhile, steering wheel-mounted controls let you use the system and keep your hands on the wheel. A customizable display directly in front of you helps you focus on the road. Driver connect technology makes it easy for you to precisely tune your car's interior to your personal taste. Ask for and get turn-by-turn directions.? Turn the car into a Wi-fi hotspot for your passengers. Keep in touch by phone and text. Thumb through your music collection and easily find exactly what you're looking for. Monitor all your vehicle systems including fuel consumption and get real time traffic and weather info? MyFord Touch keeps you connected with your car and your life.

Even the lights on your Focus offer dramatic styling. Up front, Dragon Eye quad beam halogen headlamps give the car a steely-eyed squint. In the rear, split vertical taillamps add width for a premium feel.

If our designers were cubists, the 2012 Focus might have turned out boxy. Clearly, they are not. Instead, they created a shape, and shapes within that shape. The belt line is actually several belt lines, shifting into a Z-shaped pattern that gives the Focus muscular shoulders over its wheels. It's kinetic design. It makes the car look like it's in motion even when it's parked. This is a car that looks coiled and ready to spring. So go ahead. Get in. And start more than a car. Available spring 2011.

Focus has the technological mastery to keep you connected to the rest of the world. The big news this year is the class-exclusive availability of MyFord Touch™ technology.* It's done for the car what touch did for the phone. A simple intuitive touch screen that lets you control your navigation, phone and entertainment. Steering wheel mounted controls with a display in the cluster right in front of you let you control additional functions without taking your hands off the wheel or turning your head. Oh, but there's more. So much more. Available NOW!

It's easy to imagine yourself a fighter pilot driving the 2012 Focus. The cockpit just feels like something you fly, not drive. Everything you need is in there, but it's hardly dry and utilitarian. It's a hundred little reasons to say, "ooh." Available spring 2011.
