About the Focus 1.0 EcoBoost 125 (Mk4)

The 2018 Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost 125 (Mk4) is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,264 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 98 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.53 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,750th quickest to 60 mph, and the 87th quickest of the 110 Fords here. Its 82.4 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost 125 (Mk4) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-02. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
