Overview

Belonging to the compact hatchback segment, the 2014 Ford Focus Electric Hatchback carries all the qualities of a true electric vehicle. With a starting price of MSRP of $29,170, the Ford Focus Electric offers only one trim. This puts it in direct competition with cars like the Nissan Leaf Hatchback, the Chevrolet Spark EV Hatchback, and the Volkswagen e-Golf Hatchback. There aren#39;t any powertrain options to explore here. The Focus Electric is equipped with a single 107-kilowatt electric motor and a 23 kWh battery with a rated power output of 143 horsepower. Through this setup, the Focus Electric gets a range of 76 miles. In a straight line, the Focus Electric clocks a 0-60 of 9.6 seconds. While the powertrain leaves you devoid of choices, the choice is instead offered through the 6 beautiful colors available for the car.

Buying Advice

Offered as a standalone trim, the Focus Electric brings upgraded sport-tuned suspension, fullsize spare and summer tires, 18-inch wheels, xenon headlights, and more. Furthermore, we also recommend some optional features like the power driver seat and leather upholstery.
