Ford Focus 2025 is an ideal combination of minimalist architecture, on-road prowess, fine tuned chassis with robust handling- a well-honed driver’s tool disguised in daily drive compact.

But, here is the catch that most reviews feel trivial to address- Tight Rear Legroom.

The rear legroom of the Focus feels surprisingly concise especially when distinguished with roomier occupants such as Corolla hatchback or Mazda3. Leading to making uncomfortable longer rides for passengers in the back sit a bit uncomfortable and cosy.

Irrespective of this, Focus delivers an agile and comfortable driving dynamics .

At last, Ford Focus is a go-to companion that proves its worth with every passing mile, in congested corners and erratic city traffic- it is more than just a compact car but a statement on wheels that read aloud that “performance with practicality”.
