18/7/2011 - New Focus Estate

Here it is the New Focus Estate. Newly arrived and in our showroom to view now.

With its dynamic styling, wealth of intuitive technologies and precision-engineered performance, the new Focus delivers a truly addictive driving experience. Thanks to the car’s advanced Ford ECOnetic Technology, the new Focus offers low CO2 emissions and outstanding fuel efficiency. You’ll also find an array of cutting-edge features that include Active Park Assist, which practically parks the car for you. When you start the new Focus, you start so much more than a car.

Torque Vectoring Control
Torque Vectoring Control reacts to the road 100 times per second. The system then uses this information to repeatedly balance the amount of power between the two front wheels.
 
Active Park Assist
The new Focus has Active Park Assist as an optional extra (Titanium), which is clever technology that first checks if a parking space is big enough then automatically steers you in. 

2/6/2011 - B-Max Coming Soon 2012

The Ford B-Max concept has sliding rear doors and no centre pillar, so it's a clear opening or the whole side of the car.The rest of the B-Max styling and interior is pretty much production ready. Except for a few flashes of chrome and the fancy LED lighting anyway. And the 18in wheels. And the lack of door handles. You don't need us to tell you the B-Max is aimed at the same sort of people who'd buy a C-Max but can manage with something smaller. And want something cheaper. The B-Max is slightly longer than a Fiesta but uses the same chassis.

There's news under the bonnet too: a turbocharged three-cylinder Ecoboost 1.0-litre petrol engine, which should be good for about 100bhp. It turns up in the Focus later this year and is rolled out across most of the Ford range soon after, replacing the present 1.6. It'll have more torque and better economy.
