Looking for a Ford Focus near Avon, Indiana? At Ray Skillman Ford, we know this compact car holds a special place in many drivers’ hearts. With its mix of fuel efficiency, smart handling, and useful features, the Focus has been a smart pick for commuters and growing families for years.
While Ford has shifted its lineup toward trucks, SUVs, and electrified vehicles, the Focus lives on in the used and certified pre-owned market. We keep a rotating selection of pre-owned vehicles on our lot, and our team can help you weigh your options when a Focus is on hand.
Knowing the difference between Focus trims helps when you’re scrolling through pre-owned listings. The chart below breaks down what each trim offered and the kind of buyer it was built for.

| S | Sedan | 2.0L Ti-VCT 4-cyl | 160 hp | SYNC, rearview camera, Bluetooth, two USB ports |
| SE | Sedan / Hatchback | 1.0L EcoBoost 3-cyl (Sedan) or 2.0L Ti-VCT (Hatch) | 123 hp / 160 hp | SiriusXM, available heated seats and steering wheel |

The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder is what most Focus buyers ended up with, and for good reason. It delivers 160 horsepower for daily commuting, merges onto the interstate without complaint, and pairs well with both manual and automatic transmissions. Drivers chasing better fuel economy could opt for the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder offered in the SE sedan, which earned highway ratings around 40 MPG and made the Focus one of the most efficient gas-powered compacts in its class.
For enthusiasts, the Focus ST and Focus RS turned the same compact platform into something genuinely fun. The ST paired a 252-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a six-speed manual, making it a favorite among hot-hatch fans. The RS pushed things further with a 350-horsepower turbo four and standard all-wheel drive. Both are highly sought after on the pre-owned market and tend to move fast when we get one in.
Inside, the Focus kept things simple and practical without feeling cheap. Higher trims came with Ford’s SYNC 3 system, which made it easy to connect a phone, manage music, and use voice commands while driving. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support came along on later models, so the cabin still feels modern years after the car first hit the road.
Comfort touches like heated seats, a heated steering wheel, a power moonroof, and ambient lighting were available on SEL and Titanium models. The cabin layout is straightforward, with controls placed where you expect them. That makes a used Focus easy to settle into, even if it’s your first one.
Standard safety equipment included a rearview camera and a full set of airbags, while higher trims added driver assistance technology that was advanced for the compact class at the time. Blind-spot information with cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control are now available on SEL and Titanium trims. When you’re shopping used, asking which packages were equipped helps narrow down the right one for your daily drive.

Ford ended production of the Focus for the U.S. market several years ago, so it is no longer available as a new vehicle. We still carry used and certified pre-owned Focus models at Ray Skillman Ford, and the Focus remains a strong value in the compact car segment.
The Focus came in S, SE, SEL, Titanium, ST, and RS trims, with both sedan and hatchback body styles depending on the trim. The S and SE were budget-friendly daily drivers, while SEL and Titanium added tech and comfort features. The ST and RS were performance-focused hatchbacks with turbocharged engines.
Most Focus models came with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 160 horsepower. The SE sedan offered a 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder for better fuel economy. The ST was powered by a 252-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter, and the RS used a 350-horsepower turbocharged 2.3-liter with standard all-wheel drive.
Fuel economy varied by engine and transmission. The 2.0-liter typically returned mid-20s in the city and mid-30s on the highway, while the 1.0-liter EcoBoost SE sedan reached around 40 MPG on the highway. Performance trims like the ST and RS were less efficient given their stronger output.
Ray Skillman Ford carries used and certified pre-owned Focus models when available. Our team can help you find the right one for your budget and driving habits. Browse our pre-owned listings online or stop by to see what’s currently in stock.
Yes, the Focus was offered as both a sedan and a hatchback. The hatchback gave drivers more cargo flexibility and was the only body style available for the ST and RS performance trims. Many compact car shoppers preferred the hatchback for its versatility.
A used Focus offers a lot of value for the price, with strong fuel economy, practical features, and a comfortable ride. As with any used vehicle, condition, and service history matter, which is why we recommend looking at certified pre-owned options that include a thorough inspection and added warranty coverage.
