What Car? hails Ford Focus as Green Car of the Year

Motor magazine What Car? has given the Ford Focus its Green Car of the Year award at this week's British International Motor Show.

Some 23 vehicles were put forward for the prize, but the Focus came out on top and picked up the model at the exhibition's Greener Driving Pavilion.

A further award was handed to BMW by the vehicle publication, this time for its Efficient Dynamics technology.

Speaking on behalf of Warranty Direct, Duncan McClure Fisher said that eco-friendly cars are as popular as ever.

He said: "Fuel prices have certainly focused the consumers mind ... One thing is for sure, the choices available are expanding all the time and it's encouraging to see a clear pattern of change from the manufacturers."

This comes after Ford this week debuted its new Focus RS model at the British International Motor Show.
