Here you are. You’ve researched dozens of cars, and you’ve narrowed your list down to one. The 2018 Ford Focus is what you want — and understandably so. Engineered to be both tough and fun to drive, the Focus is hard to beat. But now you’ve driven yourself to another crossroads.
Do you want a sedan or hatchback?
At this point, we know you’re probably tired of typing in search terms. That’s why we’ve got all the details you need right here. Need help deciding between a Focus sedan or hatchback model? We’ve got you covered below. Spoiler alert: You can’t go wrong either way.
Which Ford Focus Should Catch Your Eye in Princeton, IL?
Performance
This category boils down to what’s most important to you. Do you base your performance expectations on efficiency? If so, you’re in luck. All Focus models achieve great fuel economy. Even the S, the Focus’ base sedan trim, is capable of an estimated 34 mpg on the highway. And for manual transmission lovers, the SE trim increases efficiency to 40 mpg.
But the Focus hatchback models are no slouch, either. The Electric Hatch earns a 107 combined MPGe. But what if you place more emphasis on muscle? You won’t be disappointed. The Focus RS Hatch boasts a 2.3L EcoBoost® engine capable of up to 350 horsepower. With that kind of pop, it’s no wonder the 2018 Focus won “Hottest Hatch” at the SEMA awards.
Comfort and Convenience
Many car-buyers think they have to sacrifice comfort and convenience when they shop for a compact car. That couldn’t be further from the case with the 2018 Ford Focus. Both hatchback and sedan models offer nifty features like the PowerCode™ remote start system and Easy Fuel® capless fuel filler. Both also provide up to 90 cu. ft. of passenger space.
But what about cargo space? The sedan models deliver a solid 3.2 cu. ft. of trunk volume. But their hatchback counterparts allow for up to 43.9 cu. ft. behind the first row of seats. That’s a figure that can rival some crossover models.
Safety
Starting to see a trend? The new Ford Focus knows no compromise, a fact that’s echoed by its long list of safety amenities. Each model comes with an option for AdvanceTrac® Electronic Stability Control and the Ford Personal Safety System™. But your peace of mind comes standard. Just see the Safety Canopy® airbag system for proof.
