Engine Options and Performance
The Ford Focus boasts a variety of engine options that cater to different preferences. It includes petrol, diesel, and MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle) powertrains, with outputs ranging from 115 HP to a thrilling 280 HP. The Focus also provides a choice between manual and automatic transmissions, including a dual-clutch option for swift gear changes. Acceleration times are impressive, with the top engine capable of reaching 0-100 km/h in just 5.7 seconds.
On the other hand, the SEAT Ateca offers petrol and diesel engines with outputs of 116 HP to 150 HP. Like the Focus, it features manual and dual-clutch automatic transmission options. While it does not have the outright performance numbers of the Focus, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds for the petrol variant, its lower curb weight (starting at 1345 kg) contributes to a responsive driving experience.
