2 Answers
The latest Ford Focus measures 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, according to official data. The length of the latest Ford Focus refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane, touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the car. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane, touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane. The naturally aspirated engine of the latest Ford Focus delivers a maximum power of 90kW and a maximum torque of 153Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6500 rpm and its maximum torque at 4500 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine is paired with a manual transmission (MT). National regulations stipulate certain requirements for vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle excludes side mirrors. The width limitation is designed to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.
I just got the latest generation Focus, and its body dimensions have been a constant surprise to me. The length is approximately 4380 mm, the width around 1825 mm, the height about 1454 mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2700 mm, which is slightly longer than the previous model, offering better space utilization. Driving it in the city, I find parking isn’t too cramped because the size isn’t overly large, yet the rear seats can easily fit two large suitcases, making trips comfortable. Ford has been quite thoughtful in the design—optimizing the dimensions has lowered the drag coefficient, improving fuel efficiency. For daily commutes, this length and width are just right, avoiding the bulkiness of an SUV while maintaining agile handling. I’ve also compared it with my neighbor’s Civic—the Focus is slightly wider, providing better stability in corners, which is a definite plus. Checking dimensions when choosing a car is a good habit to avoid regretting insufficient space later.
