2015 update brings updated tech, plus revised engines and styling to Ford Focus.
Ford has announced new details for local versions of the 2015 Focus update, which is due for arrival in the second half of next year.
Headlining the mid-generation update is a slimming down of the engine options to the binary choice of a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol EcoBoost engine, or an updated version of the existing 2.0-litre turbodiesel.
The new Focus also receives a retuned chassis with increased structural stiffness and revised suspension geometry.
Styling changes also form part of the 2015 update for the Focus with a new bonnet, front bumper, thinner head and tail lights plus some chrome details.
Feature-wise, the new Focus is being brought into line with Ford's other recently refreshed models. An eight-inch touchscreen with the 'SYNC2' multimedia system will be added across the range as will their 'MyKey' technology, while an updated automatic parking system will be available in upper trim levels.
Local pricing and exact trim levels have not been confirmed, however the latter are likely to follow the Ambiente, Trend, Titanium scale of the existing Focus.
The revised version of the German-built Focus ST hot hatch will be the first of the new models to arrive in February, ahead of the rest of the range which will continue to be sourced from Thailand.
