New Focus Estate offers decent space, and latest 98g/km 1.5-litre diesel engine is as frugal as it is flexible This is our first chance to get behind the wheel of Ford's recently facelifted Focus Estate on UK roads. Specifically we’re driving the newly introduced 1.5-litre diesel in 118bhp form, which is replacing the now defunct 1.6 TDCi as the motor of choice for anyone with a careful eye on their fuel bills.This engine is likely to be a strong seller – with a share of around 45 per cent of sales – and it’s easy to see why. Although it has gained power and torque over the previous model’s equivalent unit, it’s actually more frugal and now has CO2 emissions of just 98g/km.That will please private and company car buyers alike, but, as ever, the Focus faces fierce competition from Volkswagen Group rivals such as the Golf estate and Skoda Octavia estate.
