This model remains the most popular of the brand’s passenger cars – more than 17 million units have been produced since 1998.
German automaker Ford says it will discontinue its most popular model, the Focus. This means that the C-class model will stop production in the middle of 2025. Martin Sander, head of the European branch of Ford Motor, told Autocar.
“Ford has not yet planned to continue the production of the Focus, the concern will focus on the creation of electric vehicles, and soon an increase in the production volumes of the electric model will appear, at the end of this year, the expected expansion of the power line of the brand,” he said.
However, Ford is not ruling out the possibility of creating compact electric cars the size of the Focus or Fiesta. However, they will appear after the launch of four electric crossovers on the European market.
“The reason for the abandonment of Ford Focus is not only the focus on electric cars, but also the decrease in demand for the model, as consumers prefer crossovers If in 2014 870 thousand Ford Focus was sold, then in 2020 – 207 thousand, and in 2022 – only 93 thousand of the model left the North American market,” added Sander.
We remind you that the budget Kia electric crossover was presented before the premiere.
