What comes standard in Ford Focus?
In short, standard features on the Ford Focus depend on the model year and the market where it’s sold. In the United States, Ford no longer offers a new Focus, so there are no current “new” standard packages. In Europe and other regions where the Focus is still produced, base trims typically include a modern infotainment system with smartphone integration, a rear-view camera, and essential safety gear, with more advanced driver-assistance features available on higher trims or optional packs.
What you get on the current European Focus
The following list outlines equipment that is commonly included as standard on the entry-level Focus in Europe (as of the 2024–2025 model year), though exact specs can vary by country and trim level.
- Ford SYNC infotainment with a touchscreen and smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto where supported)
- Bluetooth connectivity and USB charging ports
- Rear-view camera and parking sensors in many markets
- Climate control (manual or automatic, depending on trim)
- Electronic stability control and traction control
- ABS with brake assist
- Electric power-assisted steering and hill-start assist
- Airbags for front, side, and curtain protection (as per regional safety standards)
- Lighting elements such as daytime running lights (headlight type varies by trim)
- Keyless entry/start available on higher trims or as an option in some markets
Note: Exact equipment can vary by country and trim level. Some advanced safety features—such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking—are typically standard only on higher trims or as part of optional safety packs.
Regional safety and driver-assistance: what’s common and what’s optional
Many European Focus models include Ford’s driver-assistance suite (often marketed as Co-Pilot360 or similar), but base configurations may omit certain functions. It’s important to verify the exact spec with a dealer for your country and model year, as availability is closely tied to regional regulations and trim level.
Concluding the list, the base Focus emphasizes connectivity, comfort, and essential safety, while more advanced driver aids are generally bundled with mid- or high-level trims or optional packs.
Notes on the US market and other regions
The Ford Focus is not sold new in the United States as of model-year 2019 onward. Consequently, there is no current “new” standard feature package to cite for the US market. In other regions where the Focus is still produced and sold, standard equipment tends to align with regional standards: infotainment and connectivity on the base model, plus core safety features, with more advanced driver-assistance technologies offered on higher trims or as part of optional packages. When shopping, always confirm the exact build sheet for your country, year, and trim.
Summary
The Ford Focus’ standard features vary by generation, trim, and market. In Europe, the current generation’s base trim typically includes a modern infotainment system with smartphone integration, a rear-view camera, and core safety features, with advanced driver aids available on higher trims. The US market no longer receives new Focus models, so standard features apply to older model years or used vehicles. Prospective buyers should verify the exact specifications with the local dealer for the intended year and region.
