Ford rafforza la propria presenza in Europa con un modello specifico che è basato sulla Active X, proposta in allestimento Vignale. Ford in Europa vende una Focus ogni 135 secondi. (2 minuti e 15 secondi)

Il modello combina la "versatilità" del modello Active X con i ricchi dettagli Vignale: cerchi in lega da 17", specchi e tetto in tinta nera a contrasto ed ogni possibile optional di serie, inclusi i fari Full LED, interni in pelle, HUD ed il sistema di parcheggio automatico.

Inoltre, Ford Europe, conferma che arriverà una motorizzazione MHEV  (forse il 1.0 Ecoboost di PUMA) entro il 2020.

FORD FOCUS POPULARITY HITS 4-YEAR HIGH AS ACTIVE X VIGNALE MODEL INTRODUCED AND ECOBOOST HYBRID ON THE WAY

Ford Focus year-to-date sales are at their strongest since 2015; 194,700 Focus sales up to the end of October is equivalent to one sale every 135 seconds

Focus offers broadest choice in its segment – now expanded with new high-specification Active X Vignale crossover. New Focus EcoBoost Hybrid powertrain coming next year

Customers highlight styling, technology and space as leading reasons for purchase

The most diverse Ford Focus line-up ever is out in force, boosting Ford’s share in the competitive compact car segment – up 1.8 per cent year over year.

Focus year-to-date sales in Ford’s 20 key European markets are at their strongest since 2015, with 194,700 vehicles sold as of the end of October – equivalent to one Focus sale every 135 seconds.1

Ford has now sold more than a quarter of a million new Focus cars since the model became available to order in June 2018.

“From the Focus five-door model to the wagon, from Active to ST, there is no wider choice offered to customers in the segment,” said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford of Europe. “And all models come with great design and technology.”

The comprehensive line-up of Focus variants, body styles and powertrains – broader than any other competitor offering – is further expanded with the introduction of the new Focus Active X Vignale model.

Combining the upscale specification of the Focus Vignale with the rugged exterior styling, raised ride height and a bespoke chassis configuration of the Focus Active, standard Focus Active X Vignale features include exclusive 17-inch alloy wheels, contrast black roof and door mirrors, LED headlamps, and Vignale leather seats and steering wheel. Sophisticated standard technologies include Active Park Assist and Focus’ segment-first head-up display.2

Ford will introduce a new EcoBoost Hybrid 48-volt mild-hybrid powertrain for Focus customers next year, tailored to enhance fuel efficiency while complementing Ford’s fun-to-drive experience with more powerful and responsive performance. It is one of 14 electrified models to be introduced in Europe by the company before the end of 2020, including eight this year.

Ford research shows almost 40 per cent of Focus customers consider the model’s exterior styling to be the main reason for purchase. A further 20 per cent are most attracted by the equipment offering that includes available Stop & Go, Speed Sign Recognition and Lane-Centring technologies for negotiating stop-start traffic.3

Focus’ roomy interior – especially in the rear – was also among the stand-out characteristics for customers. Class-leading rear knee-room is improved by 5 centimetres compared with the outgoing model.

The new Focus became available to order in June 2018, beginning with the stylish Titanium, sporty ST‑Line and upscale Vignale versions. The versatile and SUV-inspired Focus Active crossover also launched in late 2018.

Earlier this year, Ford introduced the Ford Performance-developed Focus ST – capable of sprinting from 0-100 km/h (0‑62 mph) in 5.7 seconds equipped with Ford’s acclaimed 2.3-litre EcoBoost petrol engine delivering 285 PS, and six-speed manual transmission. A 190 PS 2.0‑litre EcoBlue engine is also available – the most powerful diesel engine ever offered for a Ford Focus model.4

Even customers who do not need the full performance capability appreciate ST styling. Nearly a third of new Focus vehicles are ST-Line models, making it the most popular version among Focus customers. All Focus variants are offered in five-door and wagon body styles.

Ford has sold more than 7 million Focus cars in Europe since the first generation was introduced in 1998.

Ford li paga. Sono io l'unico pirla a riportare le loro cagate Ma era troppo bello non scriverlo anche in traduzione

Cazzo! ne hanno vendute venti da quando è stata aperta questa discussione. Al PRA stanno assumendo personale per stare dietro alle vendite e conseguenti immatricolazioni.

Più che altro mi chiedo dove siano tutte queste focus: da me a occhiometro se ne ho viste un paio sono tante

Dalle mie parti (Veneto Orientale) in realtà sta prendendo abbastanza piede. Direi che assieme a Corolla e Octavia, dopo Golf, è la più diffusa tra le seg. C generaliste attuali (a occhiometro).

Anche a Roma e provincia ne ho viste varie. E non e' male in allestimento ST-Line, soprattutto scura.

Dalle mie parti di nuove focus non se ne vedono per niente! Infatti nemmeno mi ricordo come è fatta.

qui è pieno e devo dire che la macchina mi piace esteticamente.

pochissimi allestimenti base, quasi tutti ST.

Anch'io prevalentemente ST line, ma anche qualche plus (allestimento base), forse flotte.
