Overview

Belonging to the compact hatchback segment, the 2015 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 Chevrolet Spark EV Hatchback, the Volkswagen e-Golf Hatchback, and the Nissan Leaf 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 23.0 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 9 beautiful colors available for the car.

Buying Advice

There is only one trim level of the Focus Electric, and it comes well equipped. The Focus ST gets all the features of the gasoline Focus, as well as some exclusive features such as xenon headlamps and LED taillights.
