The Ford Focus has always been a popular choice in the family hatchback sector of the market. The latest 2018 Ford Focus follows from its predecessors, with a comfortable and engaging driving experience that has some serious overall polish.
The Ford Focus is also consistently strong across the board, making it a very good all-round motor, so if you’re looking for a family hatchback, the Ford Focus has to be on your shortlist.
In the UK, all cars are given an insurance group number (from 1 to 50) which helps determine the cost of insurance for that particular car. Cars in lower number insurance groups cost less to insure, and cars in the higher number groups are more expensive to insure.
There’s quite a lot of variance in the cost of insurance for a Ford Focus, and this is primarily due to the fact that the various Focus models fall into a wide range of insurance groups (from 7 to 41).
The cost of insuring your Ford Focus can vary significantly depending on factors like your age, driving history, and location. Below is an example of average insurance quotes for a 30-year-old driver with a clean record, looking to insure a Ford Focus Hatchback 1.0 EcoBoost 100PS Zetec 5d (2018 onwards Gen) in different locations across the UK:
Location | Annual Insurance Cost* |
|---|---|
London (E10) | £829.55 (High) |
Chester (CH1) | £511.43 (Mid-range) |
Newquay (TR8) | £403.62 (Low) |
*The figures above are based on quotes from the Finder UK website, assuming the driver has no existing convictions or health issues. The actual cost of insurance may vary based on a number of factors: your driving record, age, car model, engine size, postcode, and the level of coverage you require. Please note these are indicative quotes only and should not be considered as guaranteed premiums. Your actual premium will depend on your individual circumstances.

First produced in 2009, Ford’s EcoBoost engines deliver superior torque and horsepower combined with greater fuel efficiency. EcoBoost engines now power a wide range of Ford vehicles, coming in different sizes from 1.0 litres to 3.5 litres.
EcoBoost engines use direct injection and turbocharging to provide greater power and efficiency. They force more air into an engine with turbocharging, thus increasing power without changing the size of the engine, and efficiency is improved by direct injection which eliminates the ntake tract part of the fuel injection process.
The Ford Focus does come with an automatic gearbox on some models, however, if you’re looking to buy a second-hand Ford Focus you’ll have a narrower selection to choose from as only 1 in 9 cars currently being sold second-hand are automatic versions.
Over a three-year period, the Ford Focus costs about as much as a SEAT Leon to run. This includes factors such as price, resale value, and efficiency.
If you’re looking for resale value, then the Volkswagen Golf may be better suited. The Golf is more expensive to buy initially, but has much higher resale value than the Ford Focus, so it can easily make up for the difference.
