Ford says goodbye to the last hot hatch: the countdown is launched

Autocar found out that in the UK they closed the acceptance of applications on Focus ST. The Ford Representative Office confirmed: new orders are not accepted, but the dealers have about 170 non-distributed cars, so buyers can choose a five-door from the availability. In other countries, the configurator was not cut: in Germany, Focus ST is still available at a price of 43,200 euros.

The ambulance of the entire Ford Focus family has been confirmed for a long time: the last car will leave the conveyor of the plant in Germany on November 30, 2025. It seems that with the “charged” versions of the former bestseller they say goodbye even earlier, and the departure of the ST version will become the end of the era. In the Ford line, the hot-shaotchi were several decades, but at first RS versions fell victim, and now the turn has come.

In Germany, the Ford Focus ST remains with two ligaments: a 280 horsepower turbo engine can be combined with a 6-speed “mechanics” or a 7-speed pre-sequent “robot”. On the most expensive hot hatches of the X Edition there are only a manual gearbox. In the UK there were boring options with a 1.0-liter turbo engine with three cylinders.

After the resignation of the Ford Focus ST in the line, the only inexpensive “charged” gasoline model will remain: the compact crossover Puma ST. However, recently, a 1.5-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 200 horsepower with the “mechanics” does not have a model, only a moderately hybrid engine 1.0 (160 hp) with a 7-speed “robot”.
