The 2012 Ford Focus is fun to drive and also highly practical, balancing the sensible choices you make for your vehicle with the indulgences that truly connect you to it. Look for the two body styles to find the one that best suits you. Pick the Focus sedan for its slick style and aerodynamic shape, or the Focus hatchback for five doors and exceptional cargo versatility. Whichever 2012 Focus suits you and your crew, all models benefit from responsive road handling and an ergonomic, low-riding cockpit for a sporty edge.
The 2012 Ford Focus uses color beautifully both inside and out. Want to impress people at your new job? Look for one of the monochrome exterior paint shades for an executive edge, or shine like a star with tropical shades like Yellow Blaze or Red Candy Metallic. Ambient interior lighting is standard on SEL and Titanium trims, and it's a light show you don't want to miss. Switch up the cabin accent lights through a bright color spectrum to reflect your mood, match your outfit, or show off your team colors.
Staying in touch needn't stop once you step into your vehicle. Thanks to the available SYNC® and MyFord® infotainment technology suite, the 2012 Focus can take care of all your connectivity needs. Getting ready to go cross-country? Bluetooth® functionality allows you to pair any compatible smartphone with your vehicle infotainment system. From there, you can access your contacts, stream music, and communicate with the Focus navigation system, all via the SYNC voice command feature.
When more miles matter, the 2012 Focus steps up. Two powertrain options are available to take you farther between fill-ups or charging sessions. The new-for-2012 Ford Focus Electric is powered by an onboard electric motor and 23 kWh battery pack. When new and fully charged, it's good for an EPA-estimated 105 MPGe.
Maybe you're renting a downtown apartment with no private parking spot, or you're running family errands around town with only roadside parking available. Either way, there's no escaping the dreaded parallel park maneuver. Enter the hero—the 2012 Ford Focus with available active park assist, a feature that parallel parks for you. While you remain in control at all times, ultrasonic sensors identify a suitable spot and then steer you in like a pro.
