What year was the first Ford Focus SEL?

I’ve always been a fan of the Ford Focus, but some of the earlier models feel a bit cheap. Some of the other Ford models I’ve driven that have an available SEL trim seem to use higher-quality materials and more features. What was the first year the Ford Focus SEL was produced?

The Ford Focus has gone through various iterations, styles, and trims since its North American debut in 2000. However, the first year the
Ford Focus SEL
was available was 2009. Prior to that time, the long-running hatchback and four-door sedan came in various other trims.
The SEL was the top-of-the-line trim when it came out, offering plenty of extras, including:
  • A 140-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine
  • Up to 28 miles per gallon
  • USB ports
  • A four-speaker audio system
  • Steering-wheel-mounted controls
  • Cruise control
  • Heated side mirrors
  • Remote keyless entry
