Ford Focus Named ‘Top Safety Pick’ By The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety

The Ford Focus was named “Top Safety Pick” By the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.  It also received the five-star overall safety rating from the Euro NCAP.

Both IIHS and Brussels-based Euro NCAP independently test the safety levels of vehicles and present major safety awards and rankings based on their findings. In all tests, the Focus performed well thanks to a strong body structure engineered to meet global safety standards.

Other standard safety features for the 2012 Ford Focus include:

  • AdvanceTrac® Electronic Stability Control
  • SecuriLock® passive anti-theft system
  • SOS Post-Crash Alert System
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Today’s compacts are brimming with style, technology, and amenities. But for Los Angeles Ford customers, the Focus stands for its efficiency, quality, and of course its safety.

“We were committed from the beginning with the new Focus to design and engineer a vehicle that leads the way both in terms of technology and safety,” said Gunnar Herrmann, Global C Car vehicle line director. “The inherent strength of the new Focus is the structural rigidity of the body and its extensive use of high-strength steels.”
