Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi ECOnetic DPF Start Stop 5dr
Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi ECOnetic DPF Start Stop 5dr
What is it?
LATEST and most business-friendly version of Ford’s super-green Focus model. In addition to a slippery bodykit, this ECOnetic gets a new 1.6-litre TDCI engine, Ford’s first start-stop system, longer gearing, a clever alternator which recharges the battery with energy from the brakes and a neat fuel-saving gadget on the dash. Available in 90PS and 109PS form, but you can only have start-stop on the latter, which is priced at £20,455 on the road.
What’s hot?
- All those tweaks mean 74.2mpg and CO2 emissions of 99g/km…
- …so most drivers will only fill up 11 times a year…
- …pay no road tax and pay 13% BIK
- Come to a halt, take your foot off the clutch and off goes the engine…
- …smoothly restarting when you select first gear
- Diesel unit has more than enough pace for most drivers
- Neat display on the dash rates your…
- …driving on anticipation, speed and gearchanges…
- …plus there’s an optimum gear-change point indicator too
- Michelin low rolling resistance tyres offer a compliant ride
- Driving experience is sharp, agile and great fun
- 100% first year writing down allowance
What’s not?
- At nearly £20,000 it’s hugely expensive…
- …almost £2,000 more than a VW Golf Bluemotion
- Which will, of course, impact on the P11D price
- Cabin and styling starting to feel its age
- Eco tyres don’t offer as much grip as normal rubber
