Ford Focus Named Best Selling Car in the World

Research by R. L. Polk shows the Ford Focus is number one in international car sales for the second consecutive year.
 
April 16, 2013 - PRLog -- The research firm R. L. Polk has determined that the Ford Focus was the number one car in sales around the world for 2012. This isn’t new for the Focus model, as the sedan was also the most popular car in 2011. Now back for the 2013 model year, the Focus combines impressive affordability and efficiency with competitive performance and features to become one of the most attractive options for buyers in the mid-size sedan segment. The 2012 and 2013 Ford Focus models (http://www.riverviewford.com/new-inventory/ford-focus/#_Model[]=focus&action=im_get_results&perform=get_results&paged=1&_vehicleType%5B%5D=New) are on sale now at River View Ford in Oswego.

After 879,914 sales of the Ford Focus made it the best selling model of 2011, the sedan came back in 2012 with record sales of 1,020,410 models, beating out the Toyota Corolla, VW Golf, and Honda Civic.

Part of Ford’s “One Ford” global strategy to offer the same model with the same name in every market around the world, the Focus maintains a reputation of reliability, affordability, and performance that has proven to be a successful formula over the past several years.

In addition to the 2012 Ford Focus making the top of the best selling international auto list this past year, the Ford F-Series came in at number 3—making it the best selling pickup in the world—while the Ford Fiesta made it to number 6 on the list.

Starting at an MSRP of $16,200, the 2013 Ford Focus (http://www.riverviewford.com/models/2013-ford-focus/) returns with a number of rearranged and adjusted standard and optional features for the new model year. Available as a sedan and hatchback, the new Focus comes standard with an efficient but powerful 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that produces 160 hp and 146 lb-ft of torque while maintaining a high level of fuel efficiency at 38 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg in the city when equipped with a 6-speed “Powershift” automatic transmission. The Ford Focus Electric comes with a 143 hp electric drive motor that gets its power from a 23kWh lithium-ion battery pack and can go 76 miles before it needs to be recharged.
