    Under the Hood
    All Focus trim levels except the ST and Electric models have a direct-injection, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine generating 160 horsepower and 146 lb.-ft. of torque. Power is transferred to the front wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed PowerShift dual dry clutch automated manual transmission.

    The Focus ST is equipped with a turbocharged, 2.0-liter, EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The engine creates 252 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque, and includes an Overboost feature that extends the torque curve from 3,000 rpm to 4,500 rpm for up to 15 seconds.

    The Focus Electric model is equipped with a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery pack that powers an electric drive motor through a single-speed transmission. This powertrain produces 143 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque.

    Fuel Economy
    Official EPA fuel-economy estimates were not available for the 2013 Focus when this overview was written.

    Safety
    Every 2013 Ford Focus is equipped with 6 air bags, anti-lock brakes, and a traction and stability control system. The available MyKey technology allows owners to defeat the ability to switch off the stability control system, set maximum speed settings, and more. Optional features are a reversing camera, Sync connectivity with 911 Assist, front and rear park-assist sensors, and rain-sensing wipers.
