Focusing on diesel |
|
Ford diversifies the Focus range
by introducing the 2.0 TDCi Sport diesel variant |
|
By Brian Afuang
DIESEL burning passenger cars far
outnumber their gasoline—or as they say there, petrol—powered
brethren in Europe, a stark contrast to both the US and Philippine
markets. Now Ford Group Phils. (FGP) has brought a bit more of
Europe to the country by launching last weekend the Focus 2.0 TDCi
Sport, the five-door hatchback diesel variant of the car Ford had
tirelessly touted as European bred.
FGP assistant vice president for
passenger cars Glen Dasig says their introduction of the Focus TDCi
is a response to market needs. “We listened to customers who
demand a diesel alternative because of its benefits. As a result, we
are bringing in one of Ford’s best vehicles in Europe.” Dasig
adds customers of the latest Focus variant will be surprised and
delighted with the car’s Duratorq TDCi engine as it delivers a mix
of power, fuel efficiency and refinement.
