But some of the biggest names in the business are still out there, fighting for your custom \u2013 and there can be few better examples of this than the lease deals currently being offered on the Ford Focus.<\/p>\n<p>Ford\u2019s rival for the VW Golf and Vauxhall Astra was winning group tests barely two years ago, yet here it is at less than \u00a3200 per month, after a respectable deposit. The two-year deal at Carparison that we found through leasing.com has a deposit (including a broker\u2019s fee) of \u00a3,2057.94 and 5,000-mile annual limit, although raising that to a more flexible 8,000 miles only adds about a fiver per month onto the bill.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s---EiPO3wx--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1646220540\/autoexpress\/2022\/03\/Best%20new%20car%20deals%20%2722%20header_qmjuvs.jpg\">Best new car deals 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The version in question has Ford\u2019s well-proven 1.0-litre three-cylinder EcoBoost petrol engine, producing 123bhp and taking the Focus from 0-62mph in a whisker over 10 seconds. Perhaps more importantly, there\u2019s claimed fuel economy of 50mpg.<\/p>\n<p>The variant is actually the Focus Active, which gets a slightly raised ride height and chunky body cladding for a semi-SUV look. But don\u2019t be fooled; this version still rides as sweetly as regular Focuses, while still offering that blend of crisp, meaty steering and excellent body control. It\u2019s still hard to think of any other family hatchback that offers this car\u2019s level of involvement, frankly.<\/p>\n<p>Active also brings plenty of useful toys, including a digital trip computer display in the middle of the conventional instrument panel, a whopping 13.2-inch infotainment system with all the usual smartphone connectivity, rain-sensing wipers, Ford\u2019s heated windscreen, keyless entry and start, 17-inch alloy wheels and dual-zone air conditioning.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is a contract-hire lease deal, so you\u2019ll need to walk away after the two years, without the option to buy the vehicle or use any of the equity remaining it as part of your deposit on its replacement. But it does massively undercut Ford\u2019s own PCP option (called Options) which, for a similar two-year deal and with a matching deposit of \u00a32,000, costs a hefty \u00a3516 per month. You can always buy the car after the 24 months on Options, admittedly, with a final payment of \u00a314,927.<\/p>\n<p>As always, this is a great deal on a new car that we\u2019ve chosen independently and are happy to recommend. Terms and conditions will always apply, deals are subject to availability and prices can always change.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Get the\u00a0Ora Funky Cat Deal of the Day\u00a0on leasing.com, or take a look at\u00a0yesterday\u2019s top deal here\u2026\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/ford\/focus\/361211\/deal-day-family-favourite-ford-focus-less-ps200-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ford Focus is still one of the best-driving hatchbacks on the market \u2013 and it looks even better value<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":241602,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
