2015 Ford Focus Se Hatchback Manual Or 6

Base models retain the carвЂ™s standard 160-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, mated to either 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmissions. The car came as a 3 or 5-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, and also a wagon model.Most of the FocusвЂ™s engines are carried over for 2015. Passenger room is, of course, the same, since the 2015 Focus doesnвЂ™t offer a new platform or an enlarged body.It featured a new set of trim levels: S, SE, SES, and the performance-oriented ST. Last yearвЂ™s rather large parking brake is swapped out for an electronic unit, while slight revisions also come to the carвЂ™s climate controls, stereo controls and steering wheel. Some of the carвЂ™s bold interior styling touches have been toned down, replaced instead with a more traditional look and higher-quality materials.

There are also several other new options, including blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high beams and lane departure warning.Beyond safety equipment, the primary updates to the 2015 Ford Focus include the latest iteration of FordвЂ™s MyFord Touch infotainment system and its SYNC voice command technology. ThereвЂ™s a newly standard backup camera, for instance, which was an optional feature on 2014 models. ThatвЂ™s especially true for safety features, since the Focus adds several important new items. Designed specially for optimal fuel economy and only offered on the Focus SE EcoBoost, the new engine returns 29 miles per gallon in the city and 40 mpg on the highway with its mandatory 6-speed manual transmission.As you might expect in the modern era of high-tech cars, an updated Focus means updated technology and equipment.

While Ford says that the Focus offers recalibrated suspension for 2015, we think it still feels largely similar to the outgoing model, but thatвЂ™s a good thing. Steering is tight, and the Focus is rather entertaining to take around curves and turns, much more so than the vast majority of its rivals. But they still demonstrate FordвЂ™s willingness to keep the Focus competitive in the challenging compact car segment.Like last yearвЂ™s model, the 2015 Ford Focus boasts some of the most precise handling of any modern compact car.

But if youвЂ™re interested in getting a great deal rather than maximizing your gas mileage or having the latest safety equipment, you might want to take a look at a 2014 Focus, since itвЂ™s largely similar in many key areas. And the 2015 Focus offers a slightly revised interior and exterior design that makes it look a little more modern than the outgoing model. ItвЂ™s the same story for gas mileage, since the new 1.0-liter 3-cylinder engine trumps last yearвЂ™s SFE fuel economy package. If itвЂ™s safety equipment youвЂ™re after, the 2015 Focus is the model to have. ConclusionsWhether youвЂ™ll prefer the updated 2015 Ford Focus to a certified pre-owned (or leftover new) 2014 model boils down to your priorities. Our only gripe is that a forward-collision alert system still isnвЂ™t available on any trim level.
