At 1,484mm high (on 17-inch wheels), 4,358mm long and 1,823mm wide (without mirrors), the new 5-door model is 16mm lower, 21mm longer and 16mm narrower than the current Focus.  Its wheelbase is 8mm longer at 2,648mm.

"We are very excited about introducing the new Ford Focus to the European market given the strong heritage this model has here," said Stephen T. Odell, Chairman and CEO, Ford of Europe. "With its desirable combination of dynamic design, outstanding driver appeal, unmatched levels of technology and impressive fuel economy, we believe that the new car will not only delight our existing customers but also expand the appeal of the Focus brand to a whole new generation of Ford customers."
