Equipment and handling

While the Ford Focus is one of the best family hatchbacks available with excellent levels of driving enjoyment, the Ford Focus Vignale manages to add a level of luxury, particularly in the cabin, to make it an impressive offering. It certainly offers a better experience behind the wheel when compared to its premium rivals with steering that gives good feedback and confidence when putting the car through its paces. It's also a quiet cabin, even at motorway speeds with the driver assistance technology helping deliver confidence. The Vignale is a standout car, the name Focus doesn't appear on the exterior, plus there's more chrome and polished 18-inch alloy wheels to enjoy. The sparkling chrome grille features a unique pattern and drivers get to choose bespoke body colours. There's also the handmade leather seats that deliver a comfortable experience with other features such as automatic emergency braking and options of adaptive cruise control, which includes roadside recognition. The Vignale delivers an unruffled driving experience and it's a comfortable car over long distances with the petrol engines offering a smooth experience around town. Essentially, the Ford Focus Vignale is a great choice as a practical and spacious family car and for those who want a luxurious driving experience, then this upmarket version of the popular classic is for you.
