The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generates 160 horsepower while achieving an impressive fuel economy rating of up to 28 mpg city and 38 mpg highway. For those seeking more efficiency, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged three-cylinder engine provides 123 horsepower and exceptional fuel economy, making it a perfect choice for eco-conscious drivers. Each powertrain is paired with either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission, ensuring a smooth and responsive driving experience.

The 2013 Focus is available in several trims, including the base S, the well-equipped SE, the sporty Titanium, and the luxurious SEL. Each trim level adds unique features and options, allowing drivers to customize their vehicle according to their needs and preferences. High-end trims come with features such as leather upholstery, a premium audio system, and advanced driver assistance technologies.
