Latest Information on Ford Fusion
Ford began sales of the Focus in July 1988, but it wasn't until 2005 that it came into existence in South Africa. The Focus replaced the Ford Escort and Ford Laser, and in the first half of 2012 it outsold even the Toyota Corolla on a global scale. At the end of March 2014, it was the most popular car in Great Britain. Currently in its third generation, the feisty Focus is available as a hatchback or sedan, and at the heart of the Focus is a 1.5T or 1.0T EcoBoost engine. Focus ST-variants have 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engines doing their bit. The Focus performance model namely the RS, is headed for SA soon.
