Ford Focus Engines and Transmissions

Ford Focus engine choices include the Sedan’s diesel 1.8 MT with a manual transmission, plus gasoline alternatives such as the manual 1.4 MT and automatic 1.4 AT. These examples use front-wheel drive, with the transmission choice balancing direct control over gear changes against easier driving in stop-start traffic.

Ford Focus Trims and Equipment

Ford Focus trim levels include GLX and LX equipment configurations for the gasoline 1.6 AT Sedan. Both sit alongside the same automatic, front-wheel-drive powertrain description. When choosing between them, check the individual car’s comfort and convenience features: the engine and transmission name alone does not establish its equipment.
