Top of the Peaks: Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost Hybrid mHEV ST-Line

  • 21st October 2025

In 1998, Ford introduced the Focus, a hatchback as bold as the era itself. Think Nokia 3210 in every pocket, the Spice Girls screaming “girl power”, and Arsène Wenger doing the double. A fearless time to be alive. 

Gone were the days of the boxy Escort. The Focus arrived with curves, confidence, and a glimmer of mischief. From its Geneva Motor Show debut to its takeover of UK roads, it hooked a generation raised on practicality, tech, and personality. 

Fast forward to 2025, and the roads look different. A new, eco-conscious era is here, and the Focus is evolving to match it.

Peak Performance 

Driving the new Ford Focus will feel like a victory lap. The 1.0-litre EcoBoost Hybrid ST-Line has 125 bhp and hits 0–62 mph in 10.2 seconds. Not slow. Not ridiculous. Just enough power to back-up your smirk as you apply the overtake. 

119 g/km CO2 is efficient and well on the way to calming your eco-conscious side, but there's still enough whiff of petrol to remind you of the good old days. 

City crawling? Handled. Motorway sprint? Done. Tight parking? This car basically has a PhD in handling your life.

All the Gear…

ST-Line styling doesn’t whisper “signature grille, polished twin tailpipe, rear roof spoiler” it bellows it.  Metallic paint? Obviously. Body-coloured door handles? Yes. Because tacky is banned here.

Step inside. Cloth seats that don’t feel like cardboard. Steering column you can adjust like a grown-up. Two USB - a real squabble solver. The Easy Fuel capless system equals less time touching stuff you don’t want to. 

Safety & Security in Numbers

  1. Airbags: driver and front passenger airbags keep you protected. Front side airbags cover your flanks. Side curtain airbags handle life coming at you sideways. Passenger airbag deactivate switch gives flexibility without the guesswork.

  2. All the belts: 3x3 point rear seatbelts and three rear inertia reel lap/diagonal seatbelts so everyone’s covered. Front inertia reel height-adjustable seatbelts with pre-tensioners - small adjustments make a big difference. Front and rear seatbelt reminders? Nagging, yes - but the helpful kind.

  3. Remote/power child rear door locks: No escape.

  4. Tyre pressure monitoring system: no surprise flats, thank you very much.

  5. ​​Keyless entry & start - swipe, push, go. Very James Bond-esc.

  6. Thatcham alarm - thieves hate it. You love it.

  7. MyKey system - control the ride, limit the chaos.

  8. Immobiliser - extra layer of “try and nick it” protection.

Fortune Favours the Bold

The Ford Focus has never played it safe. It reverberates from the era it was born in and continues to attract those who like to drive smart, look sharp, and actually enjoy the wheel. 

It’s old-school swagger meets modern sensibility. The roads have changed. The Focus has evolved. And Hatchbacks aren’t boring.
