Sid Dillon Crete, a leading Ford dealer in Crete, knows that fuel efficiency is an important factor for car shoppers.  That’s why the dealership is excited for the 2012 Ford Focus to arrive!

The 2012 Focus SE with SFE (Super Fuel Economy) package will deliver an EPA certified 40 mpg on the highway! This fuel economy is even available with a six-speed automatic transmission, which is preferred by most American drivers.  The Focus SE is now the fourth Ford Motor Company vehicle to achieve at least 40 mpg.

“Our customers tell us that fuel economy is the top reason for purchasing a Focus,” said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. “The all-new Focus meets that demand with great fuel economy, class-leading technologies and features, exceptional standards of craftsmanship and driving dynamics typically reserved for larger, more expensive vehicles.”

Crete Ford shoppers can expect the 2012 Focus to arrive at Sid Dillon Crete later this year.

The fuel efficiency of the 2012 Focus is maximized with its new 2.0-liter gasoline direct-injection DOHC four-cylinder engine that combines high-pressure direct injection and twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) for enhanced performance and fuel efficiency. This engine delivers more power than the current 2.0-liter Duratec® unit featured in the North American Focus, while contributing to fuel economy gains of more than 10 percent.

For increased performance and economy advantage, the engine is mated with the latest dry-clutch six-speed Ford PowerShift automatic transmission. A high-efficiency dual dry-clutch design, the transmission alone can help to reduce fuel consumption by up to 9 percent compared to a traditional four-speed automatic.

The SFE package also includes 16-inch steel wheels with aero wheel covers, active grille shutters, high-efficiency tires, four-wheel disc brakes, rear spoiler and a special SFE badge.

The Ford Focus employs full active grille shutters, which help optimize aerodynamics by using vents to control airflow through the grille to the cooling system and engine compartment.  If air is required to cool the engine, the vents are opened. If no airflow is needed the vents are shut, contributing to significantly reduced aerodynamic drag.

Just because this model is fuel-efficient doesn’t mean that it lacks the impressive features Crete Ford drivers have come to expect.  Standard features include manual climate control, air filtration system, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, power front and rear windows with driver one-touch down, illuminated entry, MyKey™ technology and more.  In addition to great standard features, Ford’s SYNC® with MyFord™, which includes a sophisticated voice control system for vehicle functions, connected Bluetooth® devices, MP3 players and a wide variety of external media, is available for Crete Ford drivers.  Optional features that provide a luxurious driving experience for Crete Ford drivers include heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a remote start system.
