Ford Focus named global best-seller in 2014

Launched in 1998 as a small but perfectly formed vehicle for the masses, the Focus was an immediate success, being named European Car of the Year.

It remains an integral part of the Ford operation, both in Europe and the US, and sells to mass markets as far afield as China.

By 2013, Ford was selling more than two Focus cars every minute, making it the world’s biggest seller, a position it retained in 2014.
