| Focus reaches 100,000 units milestone |
| |
 |
|
First introduced in 1998, the Focus immediately won over the plaudits for its unprecedented handling and road behaviour; characteristics which have become synonymous with the Focus nameplate ever since.
Now in its fifth incarnation, launched just last week, the Focus has twice won the Semperit Irish Car of the Year award, as voted by the Irish Motoring Writers Association, and also took the European Car of the Year accolade. In the years since its launch it has been a No.1 seller among the Irish driving public on 10 occasions.
“Alongside its enormous commercial success, Focus has been instrumental in revitalising the Ford brand in terms of excitement and styling but also reliability,” says Eddie Murphy, Chairman and Managing Director, Ford Ireland. “This it achieved not for a specific customer segment, but across all demographics, from young to old, from family buyers to driving enthusiasts. It genuinely is the ultimate all-rounder."
The Focus credentials are wide–ranging: Ireland’s first allergy-friendly car, first mass-produced biofuel car, and first in its class to have ESP as standard. At the same time the model has reached iconic status off-road, with no fewer than 36 World Rally Championship victories since 1999.
“It is apt that the 100,000 milestone is reached just when we are welcoming the latest Focus,“ Eddie continued. “With the new model I believe we have raised the bar in the family car class once again, with huge improvements in styling and in new technology. I fully expect it to be another top-seller.”
Why not come along to our showrooms this weekend for the official launch of the All-New Ford Focus and see just how high Ford have actually raised the bar? |
