A step backwards. Pre-facelift had the rotary control for gear selection that opens the front seats and saves a lot of space. Can automatically put in park when turning the car off etc too. Also has physical controls for the media and climate control - well worth having a slightly smaller screen for! FYI, those integrated fog lights you pointed out in the headlights cluster are actually turning lights.

Looks a nice update, subtle changes but fresher. I wish manufacturers would not remove physical climate controls, I honestly think controlling this from the touch screen is awkward and unsafe. The hybrid engine is a great idea but really could do with a little better range. Ecoboost engines aren’t brilliant with many failures which is disappointing. I’ve owned Focuses for 20 years and love them but won’t update past my 1.6 petrol engine.

@mikerelvas

2 жыл бұрын

The only Focus Mk4 ST-Line versions that have / have had independent rear suspension are the SW, the 2.0 EcoBlue and 1.5 EcoBoost which Ford has done away with. Currently the only hatchback versions with IRS are the Active and the ST - the ST-Line will keep the torsion beam, which I'm told it is derived from the Fiesta ST, although IRS would've been a better choice even for the 1.0 EcoBoost versions.

Less buttons, just what I needed. Now I can finally spend my time driving my car into a lake while trying to adjust the climate controls👌

I have the 2020 ST-Line with pretty much al the options but in manual. Honestly, this model has improved on things the like leather seats and the digital drivers dial system, those are still analog on mine. Other than that I do not know if most of the changes to the 2020 face lift are a step in the right direction...

@mikerelvas

2 жыл бұрын

I'm glad Ford has introduced the Vignale trim across all versions of the new Focus - full leather seats and interior trim were never an option on the ST-Line and it totally needed them, as it gives a more upmarket feel to the interior. However, despite all of the improvements, the Focus Mk4 has been a target of cost-cutting measures along the model years, and the Mk4.5 has caught all of them which, as an owner of a MY2020, I can spot them from afar. No more storage cubby on the drivers side, no more shelf inside the glove box, ugly old school knob for side mirror controls, the engine bay is getting stripped to the bone, the list goes on. But hey, as long as the screens are getting bigger and buttons are disappearing, everything is okay! (Irony)

Prefer the pre-facelift model 100%, looks far more aggressive than the new facelift, this model with the updated front headlights makes it look like a SEAT, not to mention the lack of buttons forcing customers to mess around on the screen, surprised they didn’t update the alloys for the ST Line X, not a big fan of the badge being in the centre of the grill either. To top it off they have now fitted an Ipad to the middle of the dashboard when the smaller screen worked just fine. Was really excited to see the new facelift thinking it would look even more aggressive, but sadly IMO it’s not the case.

great overview, thanks Josip. Looks like the Vignale leather trim will be a hit, interior upgrade & SYNC 4 is a welcome boost, missing HVAC physical buttons needs to be fixed (they are all doing it, not just Ford), as does the lack of rear climate options, not great for rear passengers either. externally looks very good (Magnetic will look cool), not sure about integrated fog lamp that high, lot of idiots on the road in UK with fogs on as they think it improves their view t night (no fog, just blinding everyone else). I wish Ford would improve the engine options/performance capability, 1L engines are fine for city use, don't really work in mountains/highland regions.

Great car

every single generation Ford proves how much is trying to save on the most popular models. you will find the "savings" everywhere you will look. just look closer and more detailed and you will find it. After Focus MK3 (Titanium X) I won't be upgrading to any of the new ones. Had MK4 Vignale and I am happy that I haven't upgraded. The accounting department had a heavy few years trying to "take away" as much as they can so the buyer wouldn't realise how much was stripped off. Also. You can clearly see how much Ford is limiting so they won't cannibalise their own cars from different segments. Parking camera still without screenwash sprinkler and in the same place as always? one not so super sunny weather day and you will find that it is many times unusable. Autumn or winter time you will be dissapointed that you have to keep this little thing clean. bonnet/hood cover with a stick after over 20 years since pressure gas struts have been already present in different cars? It is not such a heavy upgrade to do (many MK3 users already added the gas struts) but Ford will still save on those little things. Engine range. Still going for 3 cylinders? Had Puma 1.0EB MHEV and few Fiestas with the same engine for many weeks. Same style of driving. Same roads. bah... even tried to squeeze as much as I can when it comes to fuel economy on the newest models. And? The difference is so minimal that all the "new" technologies are completely pointless. SORRY Ford. Never again. Ford Focus is one of those cars that are described as "cars that you have to really look after by yourself as garages and service stations won't be bothered to fix the obvious faults". The door seals are still coming off since 2011. 10 years later, Ford Focus MK4 has exactly the same problem that super glue will be something you will need to have as an "additional" accessories added to your Focus. Estate models not leaking water anymore? I doubt. How is the clock issue in MK4? Fixed after 27 updates? For 10 years the only model of the car I am troubleshooting/diagnosing/reading Internet threads about is Ford Focus (different generations). Never again.... Such a brilliant car to drive. Such a pain if you are an owner of one of them

Like this car but some interior details, buttons, plastic small things... looks nice in the overall but I would go with Kia Ceed GT Line when comparing these 2 cars. I don't see bigger advantage of that big screen, just looking at basic menus, there is a lot of empty space around in UI.

The peasant just had to sit in while he was filming 😁

Hopefully you can do the full 2022 Focus ST for us. Im sure that will have a engine cover on the production model as that doesnt look great. Its a shame they've taken away alot of the physical buttons on the centre console but it overall looms better. I have a 2015 Focus ST2.

The most fun part is that it has no protection from grit/small road debris. My 50k km St-Line started to RUST after 2 years and 6 months. Ford claimed it is not covered by the warranty. After long conversations and an official claim, I managed to get a big discount and both frond body parts above the wheel replaced. Be aware. St-Line is the only one that doesn't come with any built in or available to purchase protection. Front wheel arcs are basically an engineering error :) I love the ride but this massively pissed me off and I see that 2020 version is no different to 2018 in this regard.
