The Ford Focus family is rife with some of the most efficient and practical models on the market. It's also among the most fun to drive, and has been given several thumbs up by enthusiasts. But what happens when you opt for the most efficient trim grade? Do you still get that zippy fun? The answer is yes.

The 2016 Focus SE comes with a new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine, which was previously available solely on the subcompact Fiesta. While it puts out the same power, it bolsters the gas mileage numbers of the Blue Oval compact to 40 mpg highway (automatic transmission) or 42 mpg highway (manual transmission) while delivering 123 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. Now that's beastly.

If you're on the market for zippy diminutive beast mode with a fuel-saving bent, drop us a line at our Ford dealership in Springdale, AR and set up a test drive with the model and trim that best fits you and your needs.
