New Ford Focus Active review: New small hatch with a twist

AutoExec Summary

The Ford Focus Active is a faux SUV with added ride height, plastic wheel arch guards, and clever drive modes. Despite lacking all-wheel drive, it provides easier access than a normal hatchback. The roomy cabin, comfortable seats, and elevated driving position cater to mobility-challenged buyers. The three-cylinder turbo engine delivers good performance, and the off-road driving modes enhance capability on easy trails. Overall, the Ford Focus Active is a practical and enjoyable alternative to traditional SUVs.
