The first official details of the Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet have been released ahead of its launch later this year.

Customers will have the choice of three engines – the 1.6- and 2-litre petrol engines and 2-litre diesel lump seen in the Focus hatchback.

The 1.6-litre produces 98bhp and 110lb/ft of pulling power while the 2-litre petrol engine chucks out 143bhp and 136lb/ft.

For matching performance and improved efficiency, buyers might opt for the 2-litre diesel model which has 138bhp but also an impressive 250lb/ft of pulling power, while being more economical.

With the roof up, the Focus CC’s boot boasts a huge 534 litres of luggage space and a respectable 248 litres when the roof is down.

New features include keyless start, a tyre deflation detection system, Bluetooth connectivity and digital radio on the Sony sound system.

The Coupe Cabriolet is the third model in Focus range to get a face-lift following the hatchback and forthcoming hot ST model and will sit alongside the saloon and estate in the five-piece line-up.

The Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet will be officially revealed at the Geneva Motor Show on March 4 before going on sale later this year.

We’ll be reporting live from Geneva so don’t forget to come back for all the big news as it happens.
