Ford Focus, one of the most popular vehicles in the sedan class in our country, appeared in its renewed form. While the 2022 Ford Focus comes up with remarkable changes in both its interior and exterior design, the 13.2 inch screen, SYNC 4 smart communication and entertainment system as well as the Ford Dynamic LED Front Light system are among the remarkable innovations.
While the new bold design lines come to the fore even more in the Titanium, ST-Line and Active equipment packages, the fuel-saving EcoBoost Hybrid 48-volt engine and automatic transmission option with up to 155 PS power are available.
A seven-speed, dual-clutch Powershift automatic transmission is used in order to optimize the comfort of the users and not to compromise on performance, especially in cities with heavy traffic.

What does the 2022 Ford Focus offer?
Thanks to the new hood design, the height is increased at the front, providing a greater visual presence throughout the series, while Ford’s “blue oval” badge is moved to the middle of the enlarged upper grille.
While new LED headlights are standard on all new Focus models, they now include integrated fog lights, allowing the lower line to be designed in a simpler and more elegant way. Thus, a distinctive light signature is created that is fit for purpose. The five-door and SW models feature darker taillight glass for a premium look. The high-end LED taillights, on the other hand, have a new interior design with a darker center section and eye-catching light pattern.
Each new Focus version features unique design details, with upper grille and panel designs that reflect its unique personality and create more differentiation across the range. In the Trend X and Titanium series, there is a wide upper grille with a bright chrome frame, which is differentiated by its strong horizontal bars and in harmony with the side openings that curve upwards from the lower grille. The Titanium series also includes a hot-stamped chrome finish on the upper grill bars.
The sporty character of the Ford Performance-inspired ST-Line version is presented using the uniquely proportioned trapezoidal upper grille, supported by a glossy black honeycomb surface along the wider side openings and a deeper lower grille. ST-Line models also feature side panels, a rear diffuser and a hidden rear spoiler.
The adventurous Active version is inspired by SUV design details for a more powerful look. A wider upper grille features prominent vertical lines, while a deeper lower grille and longer side openings complement the increased ride height and black body trim.
Luxury features are available for Titanium, ST-Line and Active models thanks to the introduction of an expanded Vignale package in the new Focus. The Vignale version features increased trim levels and interior design, as well as options such as satin finishes on the upper grille and side openings and special alloy wheels instead of body colour. Five new alloy wheel designs are offered in the new Focus range.
2022 Focus focuses on power and fuel efficiency
The dual-clutch Powershift transmission provides an easier driving experience with two pedals, as well as providing uninterrupted acceleration, making it possible to make smooth and fast gear changes and rapid overtaking with the triple downshift feature.
The automatic transmission takes advantage of lower gears for sportier response in ‘Sport Drive Mode’. The transmission is also offered with sporty steering gears as standard on ST Line versions, thus allowing manual gear selection.
Powershift automatic transmission supports fuel efficiency by keeping the hybrid engine at optimum rpm and allowing it to run below 12 km/h with the Auto Start-Stop feature.
The new Focus’s 48-volt mild hybrid 1.0-liter EcoBoost Hybrid powertrain with 125 PS and 155 PS power options provides WLTP fuel efficiency starting from 5.1 l/100 km and 115 g/km CO2 emissions with a six-speed manual transmission.
The hybrid powertrain, which replaces the standard alternator with a belt-driven integrated starter/generator (BISG), ensures that energy normally lost during braking is recovered and stored in a special lithium-ion battery pack. BISG can also act as an engine, providing torque boost to increase overall torque from the powertrain for more harmonious acceleration in the same gear, or to reduce the amount of work required by the engine to increase fuel efficiency.
The new Focus is also available with Ford’s 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine with 125 PS power options. This six-speed manual transmission engine delivers 5.1 l/100 km fuel efficiency and 116 g/km CO2 emissions (WLTP).
The new Focus also has Driving Mode technologies. This technology allows drivers to choose between Normal, Sport and Eco modes that can adjust the accelerator pedal response, while it includes Electronic Assisted Steering (EPAS) and an automatic transmission that can adapt to the driving style.
The Active version offers Wet/Slippery Ground modes to increase confidence in low-grip conditions and Thick Snow/Sand modes designed to help maintain acceleration on perishable surfaces.
New Focus ST introduced for the first time
Ford also introduced the new Focus ST, available in hatchback and SW body styles, with a choice of powerful EcoBoost petrol and EcoBlue diesel engines developed by Ford Performance.
The new Focus ST has a bold exterior that further emphasizes its high-performance character. Details include honeycomb-shaped upper and lower front grilles, wide side openings, side panels and an aerodynamically optimized spoiler on the lower line and rear roof. New 18-inch alloy wheels are standard, while 19-inch wheels are optional.
The interior of the Focus ST features new Performance Seats developed by Ford Performance engineers to provide a high level of support and comfort. Leading spinal health organization Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V. (AGR) (Healthier Backs Campaign) has approved the seats. Fourteen-way power seat adjustment, including four-way adjustable lumbar support, helps drivers find their ideal driving position, while standard seat heating increases comfort.
The 2.3 liter EcoBoost petrol engine that powers the new Focus ST produces 280 PS and 420 Nm of torque and is supported by a twin-scroll turbocharger with anti-lag technology. The standard six-speed manual transmission features rev-matching technology and optionally, smoother and more consistent downshifts can be achieved with the X package. There is also the option of a seven-speed automatic transmission with shift lever.
