Ford Focus

2008 - 2009 models

OVERALL BUMPER EVALUATION: Poor

OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE DAMAGE: $691


TEST DETAILS: During the front full-overlap test, the Ford Focus bumper system fully engaged the barrier, limiting damage to the bumper system (the cover and energy absorber). During the rear full-overlap test, the bumper engaged the barrier, resulting in cover and absorber damage. Additionally, the cover loaded the right taillamp, cracking the edge of the lamp. During the front corner test, there was no bumper/barrier lateral engagement, resulting in the cover being buckled and the headlamp being crushed by the barrier backstop; in turn, the headlamp was driven into the fender, bending the leading edge of the fender. During the rear corner test, the bumper engaged the barrier, limiting damage to the bumper system (the cover and energy absorber).
