AutoExec Summary
The 2021 Ford Focus Active is a higher-riding hatchback positioned between a hatchback and a crossover. It features a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder turbo engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. Priced at $30,990 plus on-roads, it offers good value, a pleasant ride, and standard modern tech, though its design and boot space lag behind competitors. Against rivals like the Hyundai i30 and Toyota Corolla, it faces tough competition. Despite its practicality and charm, its niche position raises questions about its purpose in the market.
