Ford Focus Hatchback 1.6T 150 Ecoboost Titanium 5dr Review

For The Ford Focus 1.6T 150 Ecoboost Titanium gives a good blend of performance and economy, while Titanium spec brings luxuries such as keyless start, dual-zone climate control, automatic lights and wipers, and cruise control. Most importantly, it upgrades the centre console layout, so it’s interesting rather than looking cheap.

Against This engine is only available with higher trims. That means you’re starting to push the price up and it’s highly debatable whether you’ll see any of that investment back come resale time.

The peppy engine of the Ford Focus 1.6T 150 Ecoboost Titanium perfectly compliments the sporty Focus driving experience. Hoewever, we think most buyers will be perfectly happy with the 1.0 Ecoboost.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There isn't a bad engine among the ones in the Ford Focus range that we've tried, but we reckon the best is the 113bhp 1.6 diesel. It’s strong enough and impressively smooth, although it’s not as efficient as some rivals in real-world driving.

All versions come with air-conditioning, electric front windows and a USB connection. Popular Zetec trim adds alloys, Bluetooth, a digital radio and a heated windscreen. We’d understand if you wanted to upgrade to Titanium trim, because this brings more convenience equipment and a posher-looking dashboard that gives the cabin a real lift, although it’s not cheap.

However you specify your Focus, make sure you get a big discount. Dealers should be prepared to knock off thousands of pounds, especially on more expensive versions. The Focus doesn’t have particularly strong resale values, so a discount will help partially offset the steep depreciation.
