The all-new Focus significantly raises the bar in the company segment by featuring a wide range of segment-first smart technologies such as Active Park Assist, Active City Stop and Blind Spot Information System, as well as a class-leading safety package. The segment-leading Ford Fiesta delivered another strong performance in March with total retail sales of 1,725 units. The popular Fiesta saw overall first-quarter sales rise more than seven percent year-over-year to 6,362 units.
