12. Ford Focus
The fourth generation of Ford’s global best-seller, the compact Focus is on the way for 2018. Even though the current generation is still a fresh, attractive model, Ford knows that tightening competition from Mazda, Toyota and Honda demands an even hotter, newer model.
That is why they plan to present the new Focus soon. It will be available globally in the first half of 2018. Don’t expect a radical departure from existing style or technology. In fact, the design of the fourth generation will include improved looks of the current model. The interior will feature more space and better materials, as well as an updated design of the dashboard. The engine lineup will include some more powerful four-cylinder power plants. They plan to turbocharge every engine since Ford is one of the pioneers of downsizing modern turbo technology.
Ford will add some well-known and highly-anticipated performance versions like the ST or RS later. But, in the first year, expect a five-door hatchback and wagon in regular trim.
