Ford Fiesta & Focus ST-Line (UK)
Ford has just made their new ST-Line
model range available to European customers looking for a Ford
Performance-inspired take on regular everyday hatchbacks.
In the UK, Fiesta ST-Line customers will
be able to purchase the model from £ 15,645, while those looking to invest in
the larger Focus ST-Line will have to spend upwards of £ 20,595, with a choice
of EcoBoost petrol and TDCi diesel powertrains.
Ford's Fiesta & Focus ST-Line are
being offered with sport suspension and body styling, unique wheel design,
sports seats, sport steering wheel, alloy pedals and even the company's
award-winning 1.0-liter EcoBoost petrol unit.
Where the Fiesta ST-Line is available in
both 3-door and 5-door body styles, customers can buy the Focus ST-Line as a
both hatchback and as an estate - which according to Ford further enhances the
appeal of what is a very popular family car.
In a nutshell, the ST-inspired styling
includes a honeycomb design for the trapezoidal front grille, dark surrounds
for the fog lamps, and either a front bumper lip (Fiesta) or a bumper insert
(Focus). Other external and internal features include the rear diffuser element
and large rear roof spoiler (both models), black beltline under the windows,
deep side-skirts and ST-Line badgeing on the front wings. As for the wheels
measure, they measure 17", feature a unique design and come in Rock
Metallic Gray.
Inside, there are sports seats with red
stitching and a perforated leather ST-style steering wheel with gray stitching.
The ST-style gear knob, dark woven headliner and ST-Line scuff plates complete
the package.
In terms of performance, all Ford
ST-Line models sit closer to the road by 10 mm (thanks to the sport
suspension). Available engines in the Fiesta ST-Line range include the
100 PS/125 PS/140 PS 1.0-liter EcoBoost petrol units, as well as the 95 PS
1.5-liter TDCi. Focus customers will be able to choose between the 125 PS
1.0-liter EcoBoost, 150 PS/182 PS 1.5-liter EcoBoost, 120 PS 1.5-liter TDCi and
the 150 PS 2.0-liter TDCi.
Furthermore, Focus ST-Line models will come with
steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters as long as the optional automatic
transmission is also purchased.
