Fords Latest Focus Diesel Range Looks Set To Crush All Opposition. Its amazing that the Ford Focus diesel we had sitting in front of our offices wasn't being crushed under a vast weight of expectation.
The 1.6-liter engine is primarily aimed at customers with an eye on fuel economy, and will return a very creditable 57.6mpg on the combined cycle while emitting just 129 grams of carbon dioxide for every kilometer traveled. Despite the focus on frugality, it'll still zip to 60mph in 9 seconds and run on to a top speed of 116mph. Torque is delivered from very low in the rev range and this makes the Focus TDCi 1.6 agreeably quick off the mark when you need to accelerate out of a T-junction into flowing traffic.
