Comparison: Boot space Ford Focus vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this medium Hatchback?

Few aspects of a car are as important to daily living as the boot space, and the Ford Focus is no different. From weekend getaways to daily grocery runs, having ample space in the back is essential. So, let us take a closer look at the Ford Focus boot space and how it compares to its rivals in the market, both within the Ford lineup and against other manufacturers.

Ford Focus - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

The Ford Focus has evolved through several generations, with the boot space changing throughout the years. The first generation (1998-2001) had a boot space of 350 litres, which remained the same in the following facelift (2001-2005). The second generation (2004-2008) saw the boot space grow to 385 litres, increasing further to 396 litres in its facelift (2008-2011). The third generation (2011-2014) strangely decreased the boot space to 363 litres, only for it to further reduce to a disappointing 237 litres for the facelift (2013-2018). Thankfully, the fourth generation (2018-2022) restored some balance, boasting a 375-litre boot space, with the newest facelift (2022-now) having a slightly larger 392 litres of space.
