New Ford Focus Car 2008 – Overview Exterior

2008 sees an all-new exterior styling. Equally important is that small cars have style that stands out, and are affordable. The ’08 Focus team of engineers and designers have also been “small-minded.” Here’s a run-down of what you can expect in terms of body styles and packages when Focus will finally make its grand entrance later this year. It is powered by a standard 2.0-liter Duratec four-cylinder DOHC engine that is matched to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. It benefits from a new air intake and cooling system, and output will be close to the current model’s. For “green” states that follow California’s emissions standards, a 130-horsepower Duratec 20E engine qualifies Focus as a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV).

The styling on the ’08 Focus is brand, spanking new. It’s no simple upgrade or update, it’s a complete personality change. It has been revamped with a solid, sporty and stylish exterior. Designers on this vehicle took cues from the super popular Ford Fusion and borrowed the prominent chrome bar grille design. Here, of course, the chrome has been tailored down to the perfect size. Other stylish and sporty highlights include the flared wheellips and sweeping, crisp lines of the body.

Focus headlights have horizontal bars with a matte surface running through the reflection area—an instant visual connection to the line of the chrome-bar grille. The taillamps are no slouches either. Borrowing design sense from big brother, the ’08 Ford Escape, these illuminati features the stark contrast of a white arc cutting across the red lens, and an LED center high-mounted stop lamp. Other hot spots to note on Focus are the front fender applique integrated just behind the front wheel well on the SEL model and the bold, italic badging on the decklid scuff plates and instrument panel on both SE and SEL.
