Exterior changes for 2007 include two new paint colors, Kiwi Green Clearcoat Metallic and Aqua Blue Clearcoat Metallic. They replace Light Tundra and Sonic Blue.

All Focus models except the ST have a prominent grille with a chrome-ringed diamond mesh and clear-lens headlamps, which make for an expressive face. Focus ST's grille has satin mesh with a body-color surround. Fog lamps are standard on SES and ST models.

2007 Focus interior is clean and modern-looking, highly functional and built of high-quality materials. The instrument panel is symmetrical; the driver and front-passenger areas are divided by two rectangular climate control registers, the hazard switch and a shallow center stack for the audio and climate control systems.

Storage areas include a drawer for six compact discs, located by the driver's left knee, and an open space just below the climate control dials.

A standard floor console houses the shifter, two cup holders, the parking brake lever and optional features, including the traction control system. An overhead console with sunglasses holder and space for a garage door opener is optional. Front doors include molded-in beverage holders.

A CD and MP3 capable player is standard across 2007 Focus lineup.


2007 Focus Powertrain and Chassis

Three engine choices begin with the 136-horsepower, 2.0-liter, Duratec 20 dual-overhead-cam (DOHC), inline four-cylinder (I-4). Powering the sporty Focus ST is the 151-horsepower, 2.3-liter Duratec 23 DOHC I-4. This engine is derived from the Duratec 20 family, with larger displacement and performance-tuned exhaust.

In California, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine, a super-clean, 130-horsepower Duratec 20E qualifies Focus as a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle. The 20E version of Focus is cleaner than some hybrid gas-electric vehicles.

The Duratec 20 and 20E are available with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic. Focus ST offers a five-speed manual exclusively.


2007 Focus Safety and Security

Focus occupant-sensing technology will turn the front-passenger seat air bag on or off depending on the size of the seat occupant. Ford continues to recommend that children under 12 ride in the back seat secured by a safety belt or in a child safety seat. Anti-lock brakes are optional on the S, SE and SES, and standard on the ST.

Seat-mounted, side-impact air bags are optional on all series.
