Ford launches new Fiesta ST-Line and Focus ST-Line

Ford has announced a new ST-Line model range for Europe, featuring vehicles with sporty styling inspired by Ford Performance and offering a range of powerful and efficient EcoBoost petrol and TDCi diesel powertrains.

Delivering bold exterior and interior designs inspired by Ford's acclaimed Fiesta ST and Focus ST performance models, the new Focus ST-Line and the Fiesta ST‑Line are designed for customers who aspire to the sporty image of Ford's ST models, but do not require the full performance delivered by optimised ST engines and chassis with sports technologies.

Both the Focus ST-Line and the Fiesta ST‑Line are offered with a range of powerful engines including Ford's award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine. Other ST-Line features include sport suspension and ST-inspired body styling, unique alloy wheel designs, as well as sport seats, sport steering wheel and alloy pedals for the interior.

"With our new ST-Line range, even more customers can experience sporty style and driving dynamics inspired by our most exciting Ford Performance lineup ever, that includes models such as the Focus RS, new Fiesta ST200 and Ford GT supercar," said Roelant de Waard, Vice President, Marketing, Sales and Service, Ford of Europe. "This year we expect to sell 40,000 performance cars in Europe, a 50 percent increase compared with 2015, which in turn saw performance car sales rise by 61 percent compared with 2014."
