Ford Tourneo 2nd Gen

2006 – 2013

The Ford Focus Mk 2, the second generation of the Ford Focus line, was produced by Ford Motor Company from 2005 to 2010. Launched in 2004 at the Paris Motor Show, it came in three and five-door hatchback variations as well as an estate model. The Focus Concept, introduced in saloon form at the Beijing Motor Show, served as a precursor to this new generation. Key Points: 1. Launch and Variants: The Ford Focus Mk 2 was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 2004, and the range consisted of three and five-door hatchbacks along with an estate model. 2. Platform Sharing: Known internally as C307, this model utilized the Ford C1 platform, shared with other vehicles like the Volvo S40, V50, C70, Mazda3, and Focus C-Max. This platform sharing initiative was part of Ford's "Global Shared Technologies" program. 3. Suspension Design: The Mk 2 employed the same basic suspension design as its predecessor, which was a critical component of the Mk 1's success. The 10% stiffer bodyshell of the Mk 2, combined with the suspension design, was designed to offer improved ride quality compared to the previous model. 4. Enhancements: With a focus on refining the existing core elements that made the Mk 1 successful, Ford made the Mk 2 more rigid with changes to the bodyshell and maintained a proven suspension layout for better driving
