Used Ford Focus Vignale cars

The Ford Focus Vignale is the flagship trim of the Ford Focus. Enhancing the qualities and features of the Ford Focus, the Focus Vignale adds premium features to the original model, such as a sportier body kit and smart interiors. For a premium update on a typical family hatchback, the Ford Focus Vignale is an excellent choice.

The Vignale adds desirable outer styling to the Ford Focus, including 18-inch alloy wheels and a striking chrome grille which creates a unmistakable front profile. The interior has also been revamped, with leather coating many surfaces and new technology, such as heated front seats, adding a welcome touch.

Bringing premium features to the Ford Focus, the Vignale’s top-tier additions make the model a competitor for other compact upmarket models, like the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3 Sportback and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

Ford Focus Vignale updates and facelifts

The Ford Focus Vignale was launched as the premium trim in the Focus’ fourth generation release in 2018. As with the rest of the Mk4’s range, the Vignale is available with either petrol, diesel or hybrid engines.

Practicality and style of the Ford Focus Vignale

The Ford Focus Vignale offers 375 litres of boot space, which can be expanded to 1,354 litres by folding down the rear seats. This offers plenty of space for luggage and storage boxes. It is also more than the Volkswagen Golf hatchback’s 1,237 litres of room.

The boot also features bag hooks which secure shopping bags in place. An extra ski hatch compartment helps with transporting long items without folding down the rear seats.

For those wanting to transport trailers and compartments, the Ford Focus Vignale has a maximum brakes towing capacity of up to 1,100kg with petrol engines and up to 1,400kg with diesel engines. This is suitable for many small trailers.

Two ISOFIX points are located on the outside rear seats allowing drivers to securely install child seats.
