The North American Focus was succeeded by the Focus Mk III that is the same as the international version except for some minor differences in engines and some features. Where second generation North American Focus models continue with the C170 platform beginning with model year 2008 - in sedan and coupe configurations - the international Focus introduced in 2005 employed the newer C1 platform for sedan, hatchback (3 and 5-door) and wagon configurations. To meet this increasing demand, Ford increased output for 2008 by 30%. At that time, the Focus took 7.6 percent of the U.S. Like many compact cars, demand for the Focus increased because of high gasoline prices in 2008.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has given the Focus a "Good" overall rating in the frontal offset crash test and an "Acceptable" rating in the side impact test. Despite this, some dealers ran a 50% sale on 2011 Focuses as of mid-2011, as they were forced to simultaneously offer both it and the 2012 model. Production stopped late in calendar 2010, with the switchover to that of the third generation Focus taking until early spring 2011 due to the total refitting of the Michigan Assembly Plant, and to give dealers time for stock depletion. The second generation Focus debuted at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. Also included in the redesign is a support beam behind the dashboard for extra structural rigidity. Standard equipment includes a tire pressure monitoring system as mandated by the TREAD Act. Optional ambient lighting in the Focus uses LEDs placed in the front and rear footwells and the cup holders. The interior was redesigned, including new seats, a new dashboard design with message center atop of the dashboard, ambient lighting, dashboard panels that simulate brushed aluminum, and Ford's voice-controlled Sync audio/Bluetooth system. Highway mileage is rated at 35 mpg ‑US (6.7 L/100 km 42 mpg ‑imp) using the new 2008 United States Environmental Protection Agency standards. The chassis was lightened and stiffened and overall weight is decreased by 30 lb (14 kg) from the previous model. Power is increased in the 2.0-liter engine, up to 140 hp (104 kW) from 136 hp (101 kW), along with other changes to increase fuel efficiency. The 2.3-liter Duratec engine is discontinued for the redesign, leaving only the 2.0-liter Duratec 20 engine. The restyled North American second generation Ford Focus was sold by Ford as either a two-door coupe and 4-door sedan - the hatchbacks and wagon were discontinued.
