Ford's smart thinking has helped the new Focus become a beacon for technological advancement in its segment, offering 13 innovative features that are often only found in more expensive vehicles. That's why wise men and women across Europe have been following the bright new Ford ever since its launch earlier this year.

While the systems are designed to be helpful all year round, the upcoming holidays across Europe could see these innovative features prove particularly useful to families. With visits to relatives in unfamiliar parts of the country, Traffic Sign Recognition can keep drivers abreast of passing speed limit signs as they concentrate on the road ahead, while low-CO2 technologies like the Active Grille Shutter not only lower emissions but also help to keep the costs down of travelling to festive gatherings.

The winter driving conditions that many will face in Europe, including heavy traffic and poor weather, can also be navigated by the new Focus with greater ease. Active City Stop, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Information System, Driver Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Hill Start Assist, Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror, Lane Keeping Aid and Auto High Beam can all help drivers to avoid potential incidents and cope with whatever conditions are thrown at them.

Add to that the Active Park Assist system, which can remove the final stress of a journey by helping with those tricky parallel parking manoeuvres, or the clever multicolour LED ambient interior lighting, and the suite of advanced technologies in the new Ford Focus are sure to be a hit.
