Ford Focus is now EPA certified to reach 40 mpg highway and 28 mpg city.
The Blue Oval has become the only full-line automaker in the U.S. with four vehicles capable of reaching that mark. And notably, all four can do so with an automatic transmission, unlike key members of the competition.
The Focus joins the new Fiesta, with EPA ratings of 29 mpg city/40 mpg highway, and the Ford Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, both capable of 41 mpg city/36 mpg highway, among the company’s 40-mpg foursome. But Ford’s commitment to fuel-efficiency leadership doesn’t end there. In fact, Ford and Lincoln combine to boast a clean dozen vehicles that top their segments for fuel economy.
“Fuel economy and technology are consumers’ biggest priorities—and we have made them Ford’s as well,” said Mark Fields, Ford president, The Americas. “Our product portfolio reflects the investment Ford has made to transform our lineup in the past several years so our customers can be more green—and keep even more green in their wallets—than when fuel prices reached $4 per gallon in 2008.”
