What does Titanium mean on a Ford Focus?

What does Titanium mean on a Ford Focus?

It's a common misconception that all Titanium models of the Ford Focus are the same. This is not true.

A common misconception that all Titanium models of the Ford Focus are the same. In fact, the name Titanium can be used for any model, but it is often synonymous with higher trim levels and features. The Titanium moniker, while very common, is not always what you want to hear. Sometimes it can be confusing.

So, how do you tell the difference between a new and used Focus Titanium? The difference between a new and used car is simple. In the used car market, there is no such thing as a new car. Used cars have been sitting around for a while, often more than one owner before they get to your dealership.

When a used car passes through multiple owners, it goes through a process called reconditioning. This is when things that are considered cosmetic blemishes, such as scratches and dents, are repaired. Once it has been reconditioned, a used car is basically spotless.

For example, a 2023 Ford Focus may have been reconditioned by a previous owner. A reconditioned 2023 Focus may have small cosmetic blemishes that were fixed prior to it being put up for sale. It might have a few nicks in the paint and a dent on the hood. The interior might have been cleaned. The odometer may read over 25,000 miles. This is a used 2023 Focus Titanium.

New cars, however, come from a factory with a fresh exterior and an interior. No blemishes. This is a new 2023 Ford Focus Titanium.

So, what does this mean for you? New and used. The simple answer is that new and used are two different things. A used car has been sitting around and had previous owners. This means that it has passed through multiple owners. It may have even been in a body shop for repairs. It will probably have lower miles than a new car. It will have been reconditioned.

New cars don't pass through multiple owners. They come straight from the factory. They have never sat around, waiting for a second owner to walk through the door.

Now, this doesn't mean that new cars are better. In some cases, a used car may better than a new car.

How much is the 2018 Ford Focus Titanium?

Price history. Expert ratings. What is it? The smallest of the Focus models, but one of the most fun and capable family hatchbacks in the country. How much does the 2023 Ford Focus Titanium cost? Currently this is priced at 21,495 on the road. This is lower than the current used car price of 22,785.

In this section. The biggest selling hatchback in the world isn't a new model. The third-gen Focus came out as a refreshed, smaller model in 2023. A few tweaks later, and the model has been on sale in the UK for nearly 12 years, with around one million sales since launch. If you were to buy a used car, you'd need to be quick: the model has sold out every year since its launch, and currently the most common variants are almost 20 years old. All that makes it difficult to sell for a profit and harder to maintain value, and so it's no surprise to learn it is often used as a 'gateway' car. As such, there aren't many dealerships stocking the model, and few have enough stock to take delivery of their deliveries. But that doesn't mean prices don't appreciate in the used car market. You'll find very little change over the last decade, but since 2023, you can find a decent amount of savings of between 10% and 20% over the used model, depending on which spec you buy.

How much should I spend? There are three main trim lines for the Focus. The base Mondeo, followed by the Trend and ST-Line, and finally the Titanium. Each will get their own paragraph discussing how much the car actually costs, as they're each sold in different quantities, and come with different equipment levels.

Base Mondeo. 12,795 - 16,395. You get all the essentials of a hatchback car, along with a boot of 898L. The engine is a 2.0-litre petrol unit rated at 130bhp and 132lb/ft of torque, which is good enough for a combined 40.8mpg, according to government figures. As standard, you also get power-assisted steering, front and rear electric windows, cruise control, rain sensing wipers and full alloy wheels. An immobiliser is included as standard, as is a reversing camera and front parking sensors.

Is 2018 a good year for Ford Focus?

Last week Ford took the wraps off the latest generation of the Focus. And there is certainly a lot that has changed about the car, in addition to it taking on an appearance that is very similar to the now-doomed Taurus and Fusion. The exterior is redesigned, while inside it's quieter, more roomy and cleaner looking. Most importantly, it now has a longer range of choices for buyers.

This month, Ford also plans to introduce an all-new S-Max in North America. There are other new models as well, including the third-generation Escape SUV and a new Lincoln Aviator concept car. However, none of those vehicles will have as significant an impact on the brand as the 2023 Focus.

When the previous version was launched in 2023, I called it the best compact car ever. While that may not be true anymore, the 2023 model is still better than the 2023 model, which in turn is better than the previous generation. To put that into some perspective, the next-best-selling compact car in America in 2023 was the Honda Civic, while the Toyota Corolla was in third place. For comparison, the Ford Focus outsold the Civic by 527,000 units last year.

A lot of the work done in developing the new Focus wasn't easy. Some might say it was even dangerous. Even though there's no overlap between the new model and the outgoing car, some of the challenges of designing an entirely new car are so great that we can only imagine what it would be like if someone tried to do this in the middle of the last decade.

But that's not what we did, of course. I'm glad Ford made the decision to do this, and I'm sure they'll be happy with the outcome. But that doesn't mean this is going to be a smooth road, because even after two new models in less than five years, Ford has a lot of work ahead of them to maintain the Focus name.

That's because the company wants to move the Focus to one of its other brands, such as Lincoln. In fact, the company already announced that a Lincoln Aviator prototype will be shown off at the 2023 Chicago Auto Show. But Ford has not publicly stated that it is pursuing a move to Lincoln just yet.
