The Ford Focus is currently in its fourth generation, though the model was discontinued in the United States with the demise of the previous generation model. Currently available in Europe and a few other markets around the world, the hatchback (also sold as a wagon in some countries) is facing an uncertain future as the automaker is restructuring its business towards building more SUVs and trucks. Many customers are surely going to miss the Focus though, as it is undoubtedly one of the best mainstream driver’s cars.
Case in point – km77.com’s latest moose test of the facelifted Focus for the Spanish market. The evaluated vehicle has a 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder turbocharged engine with mild hybrid support, generating a peak output of 125 horsepower (92 kilowatts) at 6,000 rpm. This is one of four available engines in that market, together with a more powerful 1.0-liter option, a 1.5-liter diesel with 116 hp (82 kW), and the Focus ST with its 2.3-liter inline-four putting out 280 hp (206 kW).
