That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus (http://autoblog.com/ford/focus/) sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/04/09/2015-ford-focus-sedan-new-york-official/) only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below (http://www.mnfords.com/2014/04/16/2015-ford-focus-sedan-new-york-2014/#continued) for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.Continue reading 2015 Ford Focus sedan shows its fresh face in New York (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/04/16/2015-ford-focus-sedan-new-york-2014/)
