The marketplace advent of the fourth-technology Ford Focus has been a slightly piecemeal and incremental system, but it’s nonetheless now nearing the factor where the Blue Oval may tentatively name it whole.
Having introduced the five-door hatchback within the summer time of remaining year and delivered a couple of greater engine selections, an estate bodystyle and pinnacle-level Vignale trim within the autumn, Ford has now found out the following Focus ST. We’ve also just driven the massive addition to the Focus version ranks: the crossover-flavoured Focus Active. Gradually, then, the portions are coming together.
Launching the automobile in tiers doesn’t appear to have made the Focus a great deal much less famous. Even in a prime version alternative yr, the automobile retained its pinnacle-5 standard sales fame in the UK market in 2018 (best narrowly lacking out on the pinnacle 3) and looks on course to soak up a top-10 berth amongst Europe’s maximum popular new motors in 2019.
Ford must be cautiously happy, then, approximately the fitness of its massive-promoting family hatchback. But what approximately its soul? Although we’ve needed to wait longer than expected to do it, this week we’ve got an instance of the car in its most promisingly dynamic mechanical specification (till that new ST arrives, of route) with which to assess precisely how sporty and regarding the segment’s most driver-targeted hatchback may be in its contemporary form.
