Ford has announced the arrival of the Focus ECOnetic, one of the most fuel efficiency models in the compact class. The ECOnetic has a fuel economy of 80mpg on the combined cycle. It will go on sale in early 2012 in both five-door and estate bodystyles.
"The Focus ECOnetic is a testament to our company’s relentless drive for technological innovation and commitment to environmental leadership," says Gunnar Herrmann, Ford’s global medium car line director. "It’s also going to be a great car to drive."
The new Focus ECOnetic is powered by a 1.6-liter Ford Duratorq TDCi diesel which has been optimized for enhanced fuel efficiency, with a new injection system and turbocharger, enhanced charge cooling, and further friction reduction measures. The engine is mated to a new six-speed Durashift manual transmission which has been optimized to eliminate frictional losses, and utilizes special low friction transmission oil.
