2015 Ford Focus ST hits SA

FORD ADDS STYLING PACK AND 1,5 TDCI TO FOCUS RANGE

Ford South Africa has tweaked its local Focus line-up, adding the option of a new ST-mimicking “styling pack” for Trend specification hatchback derivatives, an updated infotainment system and the addition of a fresh 1,5-litre Duratorq TDCi engine.

The latter is available in both sedan and hatchback body styles, and essentially replaces the 1,6 TDCi engine. The Focus ST and Focus RS also gain slight equipment upgrades, with the full local range now standing at 19 derivatives.

The styling pack, which is available as an option on the Trend five-door models only, comprises a new colour-coded body styling kit, along with a cheeky rear spoiler and an electrically operated tilt-and-slide sunroof. Multi-spoke 17-inch alloys with low-profile tyres are also part of the package.

Ticking this options box also buys you bi-xenon HID headlamps (with a dynamic cornering functionality) and LED daytime running lights, along with heated and folding electrically adjustable side-mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control and rear privacy glass.

The price for this package? Some R19 984.

The Driver Assistance Pack, meanwhile, is available on four and five-door Trend models, and has been upgraded with the introduction Ford’s Sync3 infotainment system, which includes navigation.

Sync3 also offers the benefits of smartphone integration provided through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (although licenses are still being finalised for official release in South Africa). Other features of this package (which costs R17 089) include Advanced Active Park Assist, Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Aid, as well as an integrated rearview camera.

So, on to that new 1,5-litre TDCi turbodiesel engine. This oil-burner makes 88 kW (up from the old 1,6-litre’s 85 kW) and 270 N.m (the latter on tap from 1 750 to 2 500 r/min) and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission as standard. It is available in both Ambiente and Trend specification.

Lastly, the Focus ST1, ST3 and RS all now boast rear parking sensors as standard, with the ST3 derivative also gaining a reversing camera. Sync3 and a 10-speaker sound system (with built-in sub-woofer), meanwhile, are now available as options in the ST3 and Focus RS.

Any news on the new Fiesta ST arrival date in SA?

Wrong thread.

 

[FiestaST]

Wrong thread,

Anyhow the non-ST version(s) are here Q2 2018. The 3-cylinder new ST is not available for sale anywhere in the world currently. Will be soon. Based on that we can assume it would likely hit SA Q3 2018.

Sorry about the wrong thread, but thanks for the info!

Promoted: Ford Focus ST vs. Focus RS

Join World Rallycross presenter Andrew Coley as he compares two of Ford Performance’s pace-setting hatchbacks

The Ford Focus ST and the Focus RS are uniquely different sides of the same coin, united by the engineering expertise and passion of Ford Performance.

With the Focus ST, you get a unique sporty body kit, a range of eye-catching colours and a turbocharged 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine. The Focus RS takes it all to another level.

With 345bhp from the 2.3-litre Ford EcoBoost engine, a computer-controlled all-wheel-drive system and unique body styling – all of which has been influenced by Ford’s motorsport heritage and its experience in racing and rallying – the Focus RS is the ultimate extension of the Ford Focus ethos.

Even better, both the Focus ST and the Focus RS have all the practicality and everyday usability you would expect from one of Ford’s popular hatchbacks. Find out more as ex-rally driver and World Rallycross presenter Andrew Coley puts them head-to-head and compares their best features.

My thought process - this has to be a troll post right? @FiestaST wouldn't revive a 5 year old thread to show us a pic of a busted left rear tail light..
So I spent way too much time looking at this post to find the troll part of it..
