Ford launches new Focus compact
American auto-maker Ford has officially introduced the Focus compact car, priced from Bt759,000 to Bt1.079 million.
The top versions come with automatic parking functions, requiring the driver only to press the accelerator and brakes while the car steers itself into a vacant parking spot. The brakes are also applied automatically in city traffic if the car is about to hit a vehicle in front.
Approximately 1,000 orders have already been placed for the new Focus since its debut at the Bangkok International Motor Show earlier this year. Customer deliveries commenced in late July and 300 units have been delivered.
The Focus, available in both sedan and hatchback body styles, is built at Ford’s new US$450-million (Bt13.50 billion) plant in Rayong.
