The Ford Focus won’t be in production for much longer, which is something of a sad thought. This was once the absolute zenith of the family hatchback, but now it’s like a grizzled old gunslinger in a Saturday afternoon western, saddling up for one last ride into the sunset. If you’re in the market for a family hatchback, then you should definitely consider a Focus alongside such talented others as the Mazda 3, Vauxhall Astra, Peugeot 308, and of course the Volkswagen Golf. From the outside, the Focus looks very much as it did when Ford first introduced this version in 2018. There was a general update in 2022, which brought with it some new exterior styling, but the overall effect is still the same — it’s a sleek, neat-looking five-door hatchback. On the inside, there’s a big 13.2-inch touchscreen, which also came along in 2022, and which brought with it slick and impressive new software, which replaced the old, slightly Fisher-Price menu layout. It’s a good system, and easy to use, but the fact that it also meant Ford got rid of most of the Focus’ interior buttons and switches means it’s something of a mixed blessing.
