Ford Focus ECOnetic 1.6 TDCi 109 DPF
What is it?
LATEST version of Ford’s greenest Focus features a gear-shift indicator as part of its low-emission armoury. The gear-shift indicator works out the way the Focus is being driven, along with the road conditions, and suggests the most suitable gear change point. Otherwise, the Focus ECOnetic is unchanged, featuring lowered suspension, low rolling resistance tyres, and economy calibrated engine management and low viscosity engine oil. Available with 90PS and 109PS power outputs (tested here).
What’s hot?
- It’s the most fuel-efficient Focus you can drive…
- …with combined economy of 65.7mpg
- And CO2 emissions are just 115g/km…
- …Which means company car tax of just 13%
- At its most comfortable on motorways…
- …where the ECOnetic makes its economy felt
- We averaged 47.2mpg in mixed driving…
- …impressive: this included heavy traffic city driving
- Trim includes air conditioning and front fog lamps
- There’s also standard anti-skid ESP technology
- Road tax of £35
What’s not?
- Harsh ride on sports suspension with optional 16ins alloys
- Standard plastic hub caps look low-rent for the Focus
- There’s no stop-start technology to increase mpg further
- The gains over standard 1.6 TDCi Style are marginal (3mpg)
- …and costs you more in company car tax than similar Style!
