Local division confirms wagon body style and ST-Line variant from November


Ford Australia has revealed preliminary specifications for the upcoming 2019 Focus range, ahead of its November on-sale date.

Headlining the announcement is the availability of the Focus wagon for the first time in Australia, along with the sport-themed ST-Line trim level (pictured in blue).

As previously reported, the Focus line-up will be fitted as standard with autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian and cyclist detection, along with lane-keep assist.

In addition to the aforementioned ST-Line variant, the German-built Focus will be available in entry-level Trend and topped by the flagship Titanium.

Full pricing and specifications will be confirmed closer to launch, but here's a quick run-down of what to expect from each trim level.

The Trend hatchback will come equipped with 16-inch alloys, front fog-lights, electric park brake, an 8.0-inch Sync 3 navigation system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control, automatic headlights, an electro-chromatic rear-view mirror, along with automatic wipers.

All versions at launch will be powered by a new 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder 'Ecoboost' petrol engine, making 134kW of power and 240Nm of torque, mated to an eight-speed torque-converter automatic with paddle shifters.

While we reported last week that the crossover-styled Focus Active could be on the cards for Australia, it has been left out of the company's announcement at this stage.
