Ford Focus III 2013 sedan features 9

TVC System

TVC System

The cornering traction control system (TVC) processes data from sensors at a rate of 100 measurements per second. Thanks to this, it continuously ensures the optimal distribution of torque between the front wheels. The technology improves road grip and the dynamics of the Focus III model, helping to navigate corners precisely. The system operates only when the electronic stability program (ESP) is present.

Ford Eco Mode

Ford Eco Mode

The Eco Mode driver information system helps reduce fuel consumption. It analyzes driving style: speed, gear shift points, braking, and the frequency of short trips. Based on this data, the system offers recommendations that allow you to achieve minimal fuel consumption without changing your driving style.

Ford Easy-Fuel

Ford Easy-Fuel

The refueling system recognizes differences in the design of gasoline and diesel nozzles, preventing accidental refueling with the wrong fuel. The fuel tank neck is designed without a cap, so you don't need to get your hands dirty unscrewing it at the gas station.

Control Blade Suspension

Control Blade Suspension

Independent rear suspension Control Blade is one of the key foundations of Focus handling. The re-tuned multi-link suspension design of the third generation improves dynamics, makes steering more responsive, and provides very clear feedback. In addition, the noise level is reduced. As a result, the suspension delivers balanced and precise handling that can captivate any driver.

Active Grille Shutters

Active Grille Shutters

Ford Focus III with a diesel engine has a special design of radiator shutters. While the car is moving slowly, the grille is open to prevent the engine from overheating. As soon as the speed increases, it closes automatically. This solution reduces air resistance and provides fuel savings of about 0.8%.

Blind Spot Monitoring System

The blind spot monitoring system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles that are outside the driver's field of vision. If the sensor detects a car in the blind spot, the system signals — a light indicator on the side mirror illuminates. This gives the driver a timely warning of danger.

Active City Stop System

The system helps the driver in traffic jams when the speed does not exceed 30 km/h. Sensors track the vehicle ahead, and if it stops suddenly, the system activates the brakes on its own. This ensures an instant reaction at the right moment.

Active Park Assist System

The active parking assistance system is designed for parking in a confined space that is only slightly (1.2 times) longer than the vehicle.

Operating principle: sensors assess whether the free space is sufficient, after which the system takes over steering control. The driver only needs to control gear shifting and pressing the accelerator and brake pedals.

Benefits: the car parks almost by itself, and the driver receives visual and audible cues for orientation.

Ford PowerShift Automatic Transmission

Ford PowerShift Automatic Transmission

The Ford Focus is available with a 6-speed PowerShift automatic transmission with dual clutch. It is designed so that torque is not interrupted during gear changes, and the shifts themselves are faster and smoother than those of a conventional automatic. As a result, the driver gets more dynamic driving, lower fuel consumption, and reduced CO₂ emissions compared to a standard automatic transmission. At the same time, the additional fuel consumption relative to a manual gearbox is minimal, so the owner does not sacrifice efficiency.
