What is the maximum speed of the Focus?
2 Answers
The maximum speed of different Focus models varies. The 1.0T model has a top speed of 195 km/h, the 1.5L model reaches 193 km/h, the 1.5T model can go up to 215 km/h, and the 1.6L model has a top speed of 185 km/h. Here is a brief introduction to the Focus: The Focus is a compact car under the Ford brand, with dimensions of 4378mm in length, 1810mm in width, 1468mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2705mm. The vehicle is equipped with the Ford Co-Pilot360™ driver-assist system, which includes features such as ACC full-speed adaptive cruise control, parking assist, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, and lane-keeping assist.
I've been driving a Focus for many years, and the top speed really depends on the specific model. For example, the standard Focus 1.5L version has an official top speed of around 200 km/h, but in reality, you might feel unstable at 180-190 km/h on the highway due to high wind resistance and noise. If it's the Focus ST version, with more power, it can reach around 248 km/h, and the acceleration is fast and exciting. The top-tier RS version is even more impressive, hitting about 266 km/h. There are many factors at play, like engine horsepower, vehicle weight, and tire grip—new tires definitely perform better than worn ones. But I believe safety comes first when driving; don't just chase numbers, driving within the speed limit is the way to go for peace of mind.
