First it was the Focus SW Active, then the hatchback also in the adventurous version and now it was the turn of the Ford Focus SW being “caught” by the lenses of the ever furtive photographers while continuing to be put to the test.
Expected to arrive sometime between the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022, the renewed Focus SW came up with the traditional camouflage only in places where new features should appear: the bumpers, the grille, the headlights, the tailgate and the hood.
While the camouflage present on the bumpers doesn't let you anticipate much about the changes, the same doesn't happen with the headlights. Relatively uncovered (or could not fulfill their function), they will receive new daytime running lights and rectangular LED projectors.
At the rear, the presence of camouflage prevents us from seeing a little better how the new taillights will be and raises a question: is Ford preparing something new for the space between them? It's that in all the spy photos of the renewed Focus that area appears camouflaged, which may indicate that they could be “joined” by an LED strip, which seems to be fashionable nowadays.
Electrification must be bet
Inside and as we told you a few days ago, the news should come down to a revised infotainment system, a reinforcement of connectivity and, perhaps. to a review of coatings and materials.
In the field of mechanics, and although Ford has not yet "opened the game", we were not surprised if there would be a reinforcement of the bet on electrification, namely, with the arrival of an unprecedented plug-in hybrid version in the range of compact family of the American brand.
New daytime running lights and rectangular LED projectors are some of the new features of the renewed Focus SW.
After all, competitors like the Opel Astra, Peugeot 308, Volkswagen Golf, Renault Mégane or SEAT Leon already all have plug-in versions. Now, since the Focus platform, C2, is shared with Kuga, we know that it supports this type of solution. There are several rumors that point in this direction.
Furthermore, this decision would meet Ford's commitment to electrify its entire portfolio, a goal that will culminate, in Europe, with a range composed only of 100% electric models from 2030 onwards.
