What Changed

The 2012 Focus is an all-new vehicle based on Ford's new global C-segment platform. Compared to the prior model in North America the new Focus is longer and wider by several inches. A new 2.0l four-cylinder engine provides the power. A new six speed dual clutch transmission is a big change from the four-speed automatic found in prior models.
