The Ford Focus (first generation) is a compact machine that was manufactured past Ford in Europe from 1998 to 2004 and by Ford in North America from 1999 to 2007. Ford began sales of the Focus to Europe in July 1998 and in North America during 1999 for the 2000 model twelvemonth. Manufacturing in Argentina connected until 2008, and it was still on auction in Brazil until 2009.

In Europe and South Africa, the Focus replaced the diverse Ford Escort models sold in those markets. In Asia and Commonwealth of australia, it replaced the Ford Laser.

Pattern and engineering [edit]

3-door hatch (pre-facelift)

five-door hatch (pre-facelift)

Codenamed C170 during its evolution, the original Focus took its eventual name from a Ghia concept motorcar which was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1991. Certain elements of the design had been seen even earlier in prototypes used past Ford to demonstrate forthcoming condom features, such as the eye-level rear lighting clusters. Every bit a continuation of Ford'southward New Edge styling philosophy, first seen in the Ford Ka in 1996, and Ford Cougar in 1998, the Focus's styling was often described as polarising.^{[3] [4] [5] [6]} The styling had been overseen by Jack Telnack and executed past Claude Lobo and Australian designer, John Doughty, terminal in Jan 1996 upon programme approval.^{[vii] [2]}

The decision to name the new car the Ford Focus was made in early on 1998, as Ford had been planning to go along the "Escort" nameplate for its new generation of small-scale family cars. A last minute problem arose in July 1998 when a Cologne courtroom, responding to a case brought by the publishers Burda, ordered Ford to avert the name "Focus" for the German market cars since the proper name was already taken past the publisher'southward Focus mag.^[8] This eleventh hour dispute was overcome, however, and the machine was launched without a different "German market" name. The Focus one time again represented an attempt by Ford to introduce a truly "world car" that could be sold in disparate markets with little modification. Previous attempts to reach this had met with express success - the concept for the original 1981 Escort had infamously mutated into two entirely different cars for Europe and N America with simply superficial similarities between the two. Ford had tried once more with the 1993 Mondeo and Contour/Mystique simply the two variants still had too many differences to be called a truthful single car for both American and European consumption. The speedometer uses the "Arial" font blazon.

The Ford Focus was officially revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1998.^[9]

Design [edit]

Focus models had been designed under the directorship of Richard Parry-Jones and were noted at introduction for their styling, class-leading^[10] rear suspension and alpine interior packaging  – besides as a stiff and light body structure, low-friction steering and suspension, and extensive safety and convenience features including driver and passenger airbags, available caput-and-breast side air numberless, rear ISOFIX child-rubber seat attachments, rubber belt arrangement with pre-tensioners and load-limiting retractors, battery saver to automatically switch off lights after x minutes, interior light dimming feature, and flip-up/flat-folding rear seat cushions.

Styling [edit]

The Focus' styling, frequently noted as polarizing,^{[iii] [four] [5] [six]} was marketed by Ford as New Edge blueprint. The blueprint language had been overseen by Jack Telnack and Claude Lobo and executed past Australian designer, John Doughty.^[2] In 2000, Karl Brauer, writing for Edmunds.com described the styling: "While ergonomically audio, the Focus' interior, like its outside, displays much of Ford'due south New Edge philosophy that had editors split on loving or hating it."^[xi] Sherri Koucky, writing for MachineDesign.com said the styling "mixes circular shapes with funky geometric ones and adds sharp angles, somehow making them all work together."^[12] James R. Healey, writing for USA Today, called the styling a "collision of curves and lines."^[thirteen] After the international Ford Focus, which shared styling with North American models, had won the prestigious European Automobile of the Twelvemonth (1999), William Diem of the New York Times wrote, "To some extent, the prize vindicates Ford'southward risky design for the Focus, specially the New Border styling -- a combination of straight lines, curves and planes."^[14]

Rear suspension [edit]

Engineers for the Focus, including Richard Parry-Jones, developed a class-leading,^[ten] space-saving independent multi-link rear suspension, marketed equally Command Blade break, combining the packaging of a trailing arm, with the geometry of a double wishbone break. The system was developed from that used in the CDW27 Ford Mondeo estate, just with various modifications to make it simpler and cheaper to build and therefore economically feasible on a mass-market vehicle.

Where many competitors in the compact form, or small family car (European) class, used the less expensive semi-independent twist-beam rear break, Command Blade offered enhanced elasto-kinematic performance, i.e., strong torso control, abrupt and accurate steering regardless of the car's mental attitude, and an absorptive and tranquillity ride over bumps.

Different conventional multi-link suspension, Command Blade features a broad, simple, uniform thickness, pressed steel trailing arm with hub carrier – taking the place of ii longitudinal locating rods, eliminating an expensive cast knuckle, and offer the same level of trunk control – with a lower eye of gravity, reduced route dissonance, and at lower production cost. The long rear lateral arm controls toe, a pair of shorter forepart lateral arms, vertically above each other, command the slant, and the Control Blade reacts to restriction and traction loads.

In testing the intermission in 2000, Motor Trend author Jack Keebler noted "The Focus' average speed of 62.six mph through our slalom makes information technology faster effectually the cones than a $62,000 Jaguar XJ8L and a $300,000 Bentley Continental. The impression is of having enough of bike travel for gobbling the larger stuff and big-motorcar, full-frame isolation when encountering expansion joints and smaller road imperfections."^[15] Engineers as well worked to improve the front interruption, removing sticking and friction (aka stiction) from each component.^[15]

Following the 1998 introduction of the Command Blade suspension and its popularization by the Focus, other manufacturers (due east.g., Volkswagen with the Golf game V) began offering multi-link design rear suspensions in the compact class, or small family machine (European) grade.^[ten]

Tall packaging [edit]

Focus engineers developed a new interior packaging for the car's form, with a computer-modeled interior, long wheelbase, alpine doors, raised roofline, increased passenger and cargo volume, raised rear seating and raised H-point front seating providing higher sight lines and increased rear footroom.^[16] James R. Healey, writing for Usa Today, said "Focus is bigger within than cars much larger exterior."^[13] Ford later marketed the loftier H-bespeak seating as Command Seating, ^[17] noting that "the college the H-Point, the college you ride in the motorcar, and in some cases, the more comfy yous feel behind the wheel".^[17]

Safety [edit]

The Mk one Ford Focus received four out of 5 stars for occupant condom, and ii out of 4 stars for pedestrian safety in its EuroNCAP tests (69% frontal, 83% side, 28% pedestrian).^[45] In Australia, the 2002–2005 Ford Focus was assessed in the Used Car Rubber Ratings 2006 as providing "average" protection for its occupants in the event of a crash.^[46] The car scored 11.six points out of 16 in a frontal crash examination conducted by the Russian ARCAP safety cess program in 2003.^[47]

Engines [edit]

European introduction [edit]

Gasoline engines bachelor were the well-proven 1.eight L and two.0 L Zetec units from the Ford Mondeo and 1.iv 50 and ane.6 L versions of the Zetec-S/SE units, also plant in the Ford Fiesta and Ford Puma. The ST170 and RS performance models used modified versions of the 2.0 L Zetec. Originally, the just diesel engine available was the Endura TDDI (a development of the former Deutz-designed motor which Ford had been using since the 1980s). This was replaced in 2002 by the Duratorq TDCI.

Performance versions [edit]

SVT models [edit]

In late 2001, Ford's in-house performance group, Special Vehicle Team (SVT), introduced the 3-door Focus ZX3 SVT (ST170) to the U.s. and Canadian markets for the 2002 model year. The exterior included revised front and rear bumper fascias, side skirts, fog lamps, rear diffuser, hatch lip spoiler, and 17-inch (430 mm) five-spoke alloy wheels wearing fairly viscous "Y" rated 215/45R17 tires from Continental. The SVT also featured a reworked version of the 2.0-liter Zetec engine available in other Focus models. Developed in concert with Cosworth, this engine featured a special aluminum cylinder head with enlarged intake ports, loftier pinch pistons and forged connecting rods, piston oil squirters, solenoid operated variable camshaft timing on the intake cam, dual stage intake manifold, and a 4-2-1 tubular frazzle header.

These additions, coupled with an increased ten.2:one compression ratio, increased ability from 130 to 170 horsepower (97 to 127 kW). Getrag provided a six-speed manual transmission shared with the Mini Cooper S. This transmission was a twin layshaft blueprint and included a dual mass flywheel to eliminate vibration and manual noise. Other changes to complete the package included sharper steering through an increased boost ratio in the steering rack, larger disc brakes on all four corners with standard ABS (300mm forepart/280mm rear,) and stiffened intermission with a slightly larger rear anti-roll bar. Outside color choices were express to CD Silvery, Infra-Red Tintcoat, Sonic Blue, and Pitch Black.

Interior features included ii-tone leather/cloth seats with Infra-Red/Sonic Blue fabric seat/door inserts, perforated leather steering wheel, perforated leather shift knob with leather boot, as well as a perforated leather emergency-brake handle and leather boot. Options for the Focus SVT included a one-affect sliding power glass sunroof, seven-speaker Audiophile sound arrangement with 8-inch (200 mm) sub-woofer, a Cold Weather package (includes heated seats/outside mirrors, traction control, and a 115 5 cake heater,) and, for 2003 and 2004 models, HID xenon headlamps.

In 2003, the SVT was offered in an all-new five-door ZX5 SVT counterpart and an sectional European Appearance Package available for the ZX3 SVT but. The European Appearance package (or EAP for short) included all available options listed above, plus total black perforated leather Recaro seats/door panels and fifteen-spoke Nighttime Argent colored wheels. The outside was available in two new exclusive EAP colors, Screamin' Yellow and Competition Orange. The only options not available on the 2003-2004 ZX5 SVT were the EAP for 2003 or the side skirts. In 2004, the Focus SVT's last year of production, the Euro package was available in the ZX5 SVT model too. The base of operations 5-spoke "Cobra R" wheel pattern would exist replaced by a 6-spoke pattern like to the ones found on the Steeda Focus as the base wheel option, the 2004 EAP would retain the Dark Argent fifteen-spoke pattern. The Focus SVT would be replaced by the 2005 Focus ZX4 ST Sedan.

ST model [edit]

2006 Ford Focus ST with "Street Appearance" parcel.

Following discontinuation of the Due north American SVT Focus in 2004, Ford introduced the ST variant of the ZX4 for 2005–2007, with a ii.iii-litre, 151 hp (113 kW) (154 lbf⋅ft (209 N⋅grand) (SAE) Torque) Duratec driving a 5-speed MTX-75 transmission manual with reverse lock-out. Though power was lower than the SVT, dispatch was only slightly lower due to a higher differential ratio. The 2005 ST used dampers and stabilizer bars like to those of the SVT, but significantly softer springs. The ST featured a unique interior, sixteen-inch (410 mm) wheels with Pirelli P6 4 Seasons tires, spoiler, color-keyed fascia, a colour keyed grille, and four-wheel anti-lock disk brakes. The 2005 ST included all SES package equipment – with heated seats, heated mirrors, leather interior, moonroof, and Audiophile package controlled by a Blaupunkt headunit all optional. 2007 was the final year for the 2.3 L engine in the Focus. For the 2006 and 2007 ST's the suspension geometry was changed to provide a softer ride.

In Canada, the Street Appearance look was bachelor and named the GFX package. The Focus ST name did return in 2012 in an all new model.

ST170 [edit]

Ford Focus ST170 Moondust Silver

The ST170 (codename Piranha), which was launched in 2002, was the offset Focus sport model to be developed for international markets by a joint SVE/SVT global team. Adjusted from the Facelift Mk 1 Focus, the ST170 had the following cosmetic revisions: 17 in (430 mm) Multi-Spoke Alloy Wheels; Alarm; Side Airbags; Optional ane/2 (in non-UK markets) and full Recaro leather seats; Optional 9006 Stereo system with bespoke Subwoofer; brushed aluminium door releases; honeycomb 'tech flec' front grills, round projector style fog lights, colour-coded bumper and side beadings & door handles; and Locally developed bodykit (Commonwealth of australia just). The 172.3PS engine was adult by Cosworth and tuning bumped the power from 127 to 170 horsepower (95 to 127 kW). Upgrades included: High-flow aluminium cylinder head; Variable valve timing; Dual stage intake manifold; Stainless steel exhaust system and exhaust manifold by Cosworth; Sports catalytic converter; Larger brake discs (300 mm forepart, 280 mm rear); Getrag 6-speed manual M6 gearbox; Revised power steering 'falling-period' pump and shut ratio steering rack. Black Oak engine direction system. The engine was sourced from the Ford of Mexico Chihuahua plant. The vehicle final-assembly was in the Ford Saarlouis establish in Germany, with some content such every bit the subwoofer assembled off-line at the ACÜ facility attached to the constitute. There was an additional Railroad vehicle/Estate variant (codename Swordfish) launched in Europe-simply in 2003, which featured Nivomat self-levelling rear dampers.

RS [edit]

The Focus RS Mk1 was produced from October ii, 2002, to Nov 11, 2003, and was Ford'south return to the RS (Rallye Sport) bluecoat afterwards the demise of the tweaked Escorts, particularly the fabled Ford Escort RS Cosworth. Production was express to 4501 units only. The auto was largely built on its ain assembly line in Ford'southward Saarlouis plant, with some additional specialist off-line assembly performed by the ACÜ group at Überhern. The RS was offered all over Europe, just 2147 were sold in the United Kingdom, past far its largest market.^[49] The Marking 1 Focus RS was a limited production run available in 21 European countries.

Using a turbocharged version of the two.0-litre Ford Zeta engine, the Focus RS rated at 212 horsepower (158 kW).

It would generate a steady 0.98G in lateral dispatch due to racing parts such equally Sachs dampers, lightweight O.Z Blend Wheels and a Quaife ATB Differential. It would besides permit 1.0G of braking force due to the standard Brembo braking organization 324 mm (Front end) 280 mm (Rear).

The development of the Focus RS was undertaken by a mixed team of mainstream Ford engineers (not SVE nor the TeamRS group which replaced information technology after on) and Tickford Engineering in Milton Keynes, United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. Originally it was to be released every bit the Racing Focus, however after the poor selling Racing Puma, Ford (driven past Martin Leach) decided to revive the RS badge.

More bespoke than the concurrent Ford Focus SVT (badged as the Focus ST170 in Europe), the Focus RS upgraded or replaced seventy% of the standard Focus mechanicals. The 1,998 cc (2.0 L; 121.9 cu in) inline-four engine equipped with a single Garrett AiResearch GT25 (60) SG turbocharger produced a minimum of 215 PS (158 kW; 212 hp) at 5500 rpm and 310 N⋅1000 (229 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3500 rpm,^[50] which was then mated to the 5-speed Ford MTX-75 manual and not the Getrag used in the ST 170. Mechanically, virtually notably, the car incorporated a Quaife automated torque biasing differential to improve traction from the front-wheel bulldoze setup. The steering used a like quick-ratio rack as the ST170 while the brakes used fixed-caliper, iv-piston Brembo units with 324 mm (12.8 in) discs at the front and single-piston floating calipers and 280 mm (eleven.0 in) discs at the back. Wheels were 18" alloys peculiarly developed by OZ Racing. The engine was heavily modified with forged aluminium pistons, hardened valve seats, sodium-filled exhaust valves, stainless steel exhaust system. The forced induction system comprised a Garrett turbocharger with a h2o-cooled charge air cooler and an electric water pump. To transmit the higher torque an upgraded AP clutch was used.

The Focus RS was available in ane metallic colour, Imperial Blue. The trunk looked similar to the standard Focus or to the ST170, although the RS featured unique front and rear bumper assemblies required for the wider wheel arches which accommodated the 65 mm (two.6 in) wider front runway. Internally, the theme is blue and black with sections of bluish leather trim on the door trim panels, the steering cycle and the Sparco seats which were trimmed in blue/black leather and Alcantara. A green starter button starts the engine. The instruments have a bluish background and in identify of the coolant temperature estimate, the RS was equipped with a heave force per unit area indicator (upwards to one.5 bar). The gear lever knob, handbrake lever, and pedals were all custom made past Sparco.

All-around performance was roughly equal or better to its other competitors, including hatchbacks such as the Honda Civic Blazon-R and some four-bicycle drive cars in the same cost field.^{[ citation needed ]} Ability was a diminished priority and the handling on a track, courtesy of the forepart differential, was considered past nigh observers to be its strongest feature. In a Top Gear review, Jeremy Clarkson noted that "it lacks the straightforward oomph of a Subaru Impreza. [...] The reason it was quick round our track is simple: this car handles similar it's in a cartoon." Clarkson and other motor journalists also commented on the car's torque steer on bumpy British roads.^{[ citation needed ]}

Cosworth Concept [edit]

Ford Motor Company made acquisition in 1998 of its longtime partner Cosworth Racing and was exploring the return of the Cosworth bluecoat on their production cars. At the 1999 Geneva International Motor Prove Ford represent concept model named Focus Cosworth. It was inspired by 1999 Ford Focus WRC with unique bodykit and powered by a Cosworth-developed 2.0-litre turbo-charged and inter-cooled Zetec-Due east engine that produce more than than 200 PS.^[51]

Focus RS WRC [edit]

The Focus RS WRC was congenital in 1999 to supercede the Ford Escort WRC. It debuted in the Monte Carlo Rally with Colin McRae and Simon Jean-Joseph behind the wheels of the 2 cars. Information technology was immediately on the pace, setting many fastest stage times, but the use of an illegal water pump meant that the two cars were excluded from the event. McRae gave the Focus its showtime win 2 events afterwards the Safari Rally Kenya finishing over 15 minutes ahead of the second placed Toyota of Didier Auriol.

In 2003, Ford released a newly designed Focus WRC, named Focus RS WRC 03, for competition during the 2d function of the season. The auto, with most parts redesigned from the basis up, featured a lighter trunk shell and a new aerodynamically enhanced front bumper and wing. Markko Märtin drove the car to two world rally victories. The 2004 and 2005 Focus WRCs were evolutions based on the RS WRC 03. The Focus RS WRC 04 won 3 events with Märtin at the wheel. By 2005, the car was no longer competitive and Ford had a winless season.

Overall sales and history [edit]

In Europe, the hatchback is the biggest selling bodystyle. Ford attempted to market place the saloon in Europe as a mini-executive automobile by only offering it in the Ghia trim level, something that it had tried before with the Orion of the 1980s. It has since given up on this strategy, and has started selling lower specified versions of the saloon.

Despite its radical styling (the hatchback version in particular), and some controversial prophylactic recalls in Northward America, the motorcar has been a delinquent success across the earth, fifty-fifty in the United States, where Ford has traditionally failed to successfully sell its European models. In Europe, where the Focus was positioned at the heart of the largest market segment past volume, Ford's overall marketplace share had declined by 25% between 1995 and 2000 every bit the aging Ford Escort failed to match up in technological terms to the Vauxhall/Opel Astra and Volkswagen Golf without being able to accomplish compensating sales volumes in the low cost sector where Korean manufacturers, in particular, were becoming increasingly competitive.^[52] The Focus stopped the rot for Ford in Europe, selling particularly strongly in the U.k.. This was the best-selling automobile in the world in 1999 through 2004. Information technology was elected Car of the Year in 1999, ahead of GM's new Astra model. The Focus won the North American Machine of the Year award for 2000.

Both versions of the Focus take been the 1999 and 2005 Semperit Irish Car of the Yr In Ireland.

The Focus, different the Escort, was never offered in a defended panel van body style; however, a commercial Focus based on the 3-door hatch is available in Europe - almost commonly in Ireland.

Ford therefore continued the Escort Van until the purpose-designed Transit Connect was introduced in 2002 every bit its replacement. A convertible version was another notable omission that was rectified with the Mk2 Coupe-Cabriolet.

The European Focus, in 2002, co-ordinate to German reports and surveys, was claimed to be the most reliable auto between ane and iii years old in the German auto market.^[53]

Awards and recalls [edit]

Since its launch in 1998, the showtime generation Focus has won over 60 awards including 13 Auto of the Year awards in both Europe and Northward America, and more recently, the all-time family car ever (Autocar UK 2003). In 2000, the Focus won Automobile magazine's Auto of the Year and MotorWeek'southward All-time Small Machine.

Though the Focus received the R.L. Polk & Co. Automotive Loyalty Award for highest percentage of repeat buyers, iv years running, from 2000 through 2003 – the Focus did experience numerous recalls early in the car's life.^[54] Despite Lemon-Aid describing it as "glitch ridden" up until 2004, Focus reliability steadily improved.^[55]

By 2005, the Focus received a Consumers Assimilate Best Buy Rating,^[56] (taking numerous factors into consideration, including reliability and recall history) equally well as the Strategic Vision 2005 Total Quality Award.^[57] In 2006 the Focus received AutoPacific's commencement Ideal Vehicle Honour equally summit-rated compact car for 2006.

The Focus placed on Car and Driver magazine's Ten All-time list for five consecutive years between 2000 and 2004.
