Ford Focus ST Buying Guide

What is the Ford Focus ST?

The Ford Focus ST is the lower-tier performance hatchback that sits below the top-spec Ford Focus RS. The ‘ST’ badge simply stands for ‘Sports Technologies’ and shows it offers a sportier driving feel than a regular Focus model. 

The Focus ST has been around since the first generation of Focus, which was called the ST170, and has always been the fun choice before stepping up to the RS.

What are the Ford Focus ST specs?

The full-fat Focus ST is powered by a 2.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 272hp and 420Nm of torque. This means it’s very responsive and punchy throughout the rev range. 

With direct steering, electronic limited slip differential and sports suspension, the overall driving experience is second to none. Whether you’re on a longer motorway slog or nipping around a B-Road, you’re in for a treat with how this car performs. 

Being a performance version of the Focus, you won’t get the best fuel economy, but it’s still a respectable claimed 36mpg, putting it on a par with its sporty rivals. 

Used Ford Focus ST features and equipment

Inside, the Focus ST isn’t too different from the standard Focus model. You do get added ‘ST’ badges throughout as well as some sporty red accents. The real changes happen under the bonnet, where the more powerful engine sits. 

In terms of tech, you get everything found in the standard Focus including a 13.2-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, A/C and selectable driving modes including launch control. 

Where the Focus ST sits in the Ford range

The Focus ST is the second-highest model you can buy, below the Focus RS but above the Titanium, Titanium X, Active and ST-Line. 

This means it’s more expensive than most of the range, but with this you’re getting added performance and a sportier look. 

Its main rivals include the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Peugeot 308 GTi and KIA Pro Cee’d GT. 

Should I buy a Ford Focus ST?
