This is the new Ford Focus. 2018 marks twenty years since the Focus first hit our streets, and since then the name has become synonymous with family hatchbacks. The question is, does the fourth generation edition do the legacy justice? Watch my latest review to find out!

This is the first time I've looked at a Focus and thought "I'd actually have that". Those designers have done a great job with the front bumper area and modernising the interior a bit too!

Ford has focused so much in detail that this makes it the best Focus ever! Brilliant front design “ST version”. Wish if the headlamps could be more slimmer. It looks far better than conservative VW Golf. Focus is always fun car to drive and practical as well.

Head Up Display is a £1300 option on most Audis, but standard here. Incredible. I've got it on my A7, and it's brilliant, I wouldn't want to have a car without it. It keeps you focused on the road. This one isn't as nice as the Audi system, it has that little sheet that sticks up, but you can't be too disappointed at this price.

I have only driven a focus once while my Ford Falcon was being serviced but I really remember about it was that it felt so zippy and used next to no fuel. It was a fun little car. The only aspect I didn't like was the lack of middle armrest which I see is now available on the current model but the Falcon seats are much more comfortable than the small cars.

Hi Mat 😄, your car review vids are always fun and interactive. I'm surprised and don't fully understand why Ford is not bringing the 2019 Focus to the U.S. I think it would go over well w/ millennials not married w/ kids, high school, and college students. Ford did an excellent job with this new Focus. Not sure if I'd want one for myself. I'm a single millennial, and I drive a VW Jetta here in the states that I'm very happy with. The Focus hatch is certainly longer than a Golf. Again, awesome review Mat, I'm very much looking forward to the 2019 Volvo S60, I'm a sedan guy.

Considering how hard the i30 ripped off the old Focus, I think it's the other way around. This Focus is an evolution of the mk3 design (the new Fiesta is based on that as well). They resemble each other because of that. Hyundai and Kia have always had some of the most unoriginal designs in the industry, I'm surprised people are pointing the finger at Ford. Double standards I guess.

Ok, show me proof that Hyundai invented the honeycomb grille. Not that it matters in the first place, everyone's using it just like they're using Y-shaped alloy wheels. And the Kuga has nothing to do with any old Santa Fe, at this point you're inventing.
@xIcarus227
@xIcarus227 6 жыл бұрын
I don't see any significant similarities between any Santa Fe and Kuga, and you still didn't post me proof on how Hyundai invented the honeycomb grille. It's easy to spot that you're a butthurt fanboy, you provided no proof regarding your claims and started insulting and inventing. I never said Ford copying Hyundai is a 'trend' (they're not, however the same can't be said about Hyundai and Kia who ripped off much of what Ford and Mazda did in the past), and I've got no double standards regarding any of these cars. I know subtle copying when I see it. If you weren't blind yourself you'd see that the new Focus is an evolution of the old design, the same can be said about the new Fiesta. Does the new Fiesta look like a Hyundai too? And I'm not even defending the design as I simply don't like it. I think the MK3 (non-facelift) looked far better, and was far more original (this generation hot hatches all look the same with few exceptions). In fact, next year I'll be in the market for a 25-30k car and I'll most likely skip Fords simply because of the designs I don't like. Maybe stop assuming and inventing shit just because you ran out of ammo. You didn't know my stance regarding the Focus' design until now. I am not generous to Hyundai because their designs have been unoriginal, just like Kia's. The last gen i30 back end for example came from the sedan Focus, and this generation's comes straight from Mazda. The front end is a MK3.5 Focus. It's simply uninspired. And I'm not even saying they're the only ones. Almost all hatches this generation look laughably similar which is a big shame.

Test drove a 1.0 st-line, can honestly say its far more comfortable & more fun to drive than the mark 3 & seems more practical too although i will find that out soon as mine arrives late November to replace my 2015 facelift mk3 1.5tdci titanium (Having previously had a mk3 2011 1.6tdci zetec & a 2007 mk2 zetec 1.8 petrol since 2008). Of the 3 ive already owned, i can honestly say that for all the extra tech & improvement in comfort, neither of the mk3's were as fun or as practical as the mk2 or as better built

Edward93 I think I am on the same lines however the grunt and exhaust sound you get from the ST will definitely be different and prominent. But keeping in mind space, comfort and practicality I am definitely leaning more towards the Focus ST-Line being an owner of the older model Fiesta ST 😉

IMO, they let the current models languish without any significant upgrades and that can't be done with such good competition. They should have kept their Mazda relationship and platform engineering sharing with them as those were excellent model years to drive and reliability (Fusion, Focus, Fiesta and even the Edge). Big miss also letting the DCT transmission in the 2012-18 Focus which should have either been quickly fixed (right the 1st time) or changed to standard (6spd) auto transmission. This gaffe significantly hurt Ford's reputation for reliability on their cars.
