Compact Sedan · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.

The 2017 Ford Focus is a compact sedan we track across the used market in Canada. It's rated at about 185 km of electric range, so the real questions are price, charging and how it holds value. A 12-year-old one keeps roughly 27% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
