Cheaper Focus with much more

The price of the Ford Focus has dropped remarkably in real terms since it was first launched a decade ago at the equivalent cost of more than €24,000. Even more so if the level of specification is taken into account.

A new high-economy version of Ireland's best selling car will shortly be available here for €20,715. The Focus Style Special Edition comes with ESP, air-conditioning, alloy wheels and front fog lights as standard, none of which were included on that Focus of 1999.

The Special Edition is powered by a 1.6 diesel, and with emissions of just 118g/km of CO2, road tax is at the lowest rate of €104 a year.

Pictured today at the launch of the new diesel Focus and of the new generation Focus RS in Ireland are Eddie Murphy, Chairman and MD of Ford Ireland, and Joanne Sheehan, Brand and Marketing Manager of Ford Passenger Cars, Ireland.
