The original audio system in the 2012 Focus features speakers OEM-produced by a domestic factory. The relevant introduction of the new Focus is as follows: 1. Introduction 1: The new Focus is equipped with two engines, one being a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and the other a 1.5L turbocharged engine, both of which are three-cylinder engines. 2. Introduction 2: The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 90kW and a maximum torque of 153Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 6500 rpm and maximum torque at 4500 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6AT transmission. 3. Introduction 3: The 1.5L turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 128kW and a maximum torque of 243Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 6000 rpm and maximum torque between 1750 to 4500 rpm. It features hybrid injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with an 8AT transmission.
I used to drive this 2012 Focus, and its audio system was quite a pleasant surprise. The factory-installed Philips speaker units, especially in the mid-to-high trim levels, were impressive. I even checked the manual—Ford had integrated Philips' audio decoding technology into the Sync infotainment system at the time. Playing CDs while driving delivered exceptionally clean sound quality. Though road noise increased at highway speeds, vocals remained clear, and the bass response was decent for a compact car. However, the base radio version had noticeably weaker output; I later installed an aftermarket amplifier to achieve better clarity.
