2012 Ford Focus ST compact car with a pulse

exterior and sharper handling compared to either the 2011 Hyundai Elantra or 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, the Focus is perfect for buyers who want more than transportation from their vehicles.

A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on the Titanium Hatch. Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 2.0-liter, I4, 160-horsepower engine. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard on the S, and a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The 2012 S is a carryover from 2011. The Titanium Hatch is all-new for 2012.
