Inside, the cabin offers seating for five passengers, featuring eco-friendly materials and advanced technology. The MyFord Touch infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen provides navigation, entertainment, and climate control, while the SmartGauge with EcoGuide helps drivers maximize their energy efficiency.

Safety features include a rearview camera, electronic stability control, and multiple airbags. The car also comes with Ford's MyKey system, allowing owners to set speed and audio volume limits for secondary drivers. The regenerative braking system captures and reuses energy during deceleration, further enhancing the vehicle's efficiency.

Overall, the 2015 Ford Focus Electric combines the practicality and style of the traditional Focus with the environmental benefits of an electric drivetrain, making it a compelling choice for eco-conscious drivers.
