Next-gen Ford Focus live unveiling – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nIt’s taken far too long, but an all-new Ford Focus<\/a> has arrived and we’ve just seen it in the metal here at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show<\/a>. Complete with a new platform, new engine, some shapely sheetmetal and a host of tech, this new Focus that we’ll finally be sharing with Europe and the rest of the world promises to set a new bar for the small car C-segment.<\/p>\n

The Focus will initially be available in the U.S. in both four- and five-door hatchback body styles, with a three-door hatch and coupe likely in the works as well. A new 2.0-liter direct-injected four-cylinder engine producing 155 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque will be the only engine at launch, but buyers will have a choice between a six-speed manual transmission and Ford’s new six-speed dual-clutch transmission. <\/p>\n

Ford also confirmed during its press conference this morning that a Focus Electric is due to arrive in 2012, with a hybrid version arriving the next year – both of which will be built in Michigan.<\/p>\n

For all the details, hit up our deep dive of the next generation Ford Focus<\/a> after checking out our first live shots from the Detroit Auto Show<\/a> in the gallery below. Hit the jump<\/a> to watch video of the 2011 Ford Focus live reveal.<\/p>\n
