....at least that was the plan until the tariffs were announced.

2019 Ford Focus adds CoPilot360 safety, connectivity

The engineers at Ford have taken the revamp of the Focus pretty seriously and managed to pack some intensive driver assistance tech into a small and affordable package in the form of Ford CoPilot360. Announced alongside the new Ford Edge at the Detroit Auto Show, CoPilot360 is a standard safety equipment package that incorporates automatic emergency braking, blind spot information system, reverse camera and automatic high beams.






The hatch is not bad looking IMO.

That's pretty scary that they wanted to put Chinese cars on the road

It kind of reminds me Renault sport hatchback.

There are some Chinese-made things I just don't want, cars being one of them.

Is this considered a Mid Sized SUV in China?

Two things:

1. Hatch looks like a Mazda3.

2. My 2017 Hyundai Elantra (though fully loaded), has all the same "safety tech", plus adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist (which is pretty damn cool), and active/directional HID headlamps. Oh, and heated rear seats.

The Focus looks good, but this tech in a small, affordable car is nothing new.

I think the car to beat in that segment now is the new Civic.

The Hyundai Elantra, Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus, and Toyota Corolla are all putting up a lot of effort though. They are all popular worldwide.
