2019 Ford Focus ST-Line Review! New Motoring
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2019
- Finally, we're driving the all new Ford Focus! This is the ST-Line, and with its tweaked suspension and more aggressive bodywork, it's the most sporty Focus you can buy until the ST and RS arrive. This little hatchback is a big deal for Ford, so have they got it right?

Great review, love the Focus
Very useful review. Thanks.
What a brilliant video!! Thank you
Great video review, thank you. I’m contemplating upgrading from my MK3 focus!
A tricky decision... 🤔 If there's nothing wrong with the MK3 just stick with it, but when the time comes to move on make sure you test drive the MK4. It's exactly what it needed to be!
Great review as always. But there have been no subsequent videos. Very sad :-(
Just bought one in Desert Blue a MK4 St Line mild hybrid I have had a MK2.5 Style for 3 Years
Do a under the bonnet check, fluids engine oil etc.. Just got one of these in ST line 2019
Does the 2019 st line version come with bang and Olson stereo.???
I own one of these. Love it
NewMotoring multi link or twist beam ?
Hi how do u find the seats?
What about the version focus they brought out in 2008? Just skipped that?
Anyone watching from USA/Canada, Let's all do our part to Petition Ford Customer Service and tell them we want the all-new Focus to return to the U.S./North America. If we all contact FORD U.S., they'll listen to their customers! Thank you for your help in this effort
Great Video Review. The ST-Line Is the best selling Focus Model
Thanks Jamie!
which colour is this?
I tested the 1.0 yesterday. And it was really good. And fun, but I need to try the 1.5 because I think the sporty fun st line deserves more power. But the interior, so boring unfortunately. I will se if I can look past that.
Bought one of these in white a couple of months ago for £18,500 with 1,400 miles on the clock ex-display. Doesn't have all the parking sensor crap & only has the smaller 6.5" touch screen without sat-nav (figured I'd used Apple car play if I needed a navigation system).
But man I move it, drives like a dream & you can actually do 0 to 60 in about 9 seconds Ford underrates the 123HP engine quite a lot. I have driven cars that cost twice as much & aren't nearly as fun to drive or as quiet either. Makes the older Focuses look tiny in comparison though, it's a really wide car for its segment.
You got a deal - they're expensive machines new! Apple CarPlay makes nav redundant for some, but not for everyone. But agreed - it's a cracking drive but big compared to the MK1!
Great comment mate, it looks great in white
How strange, just watching videos about fiestas, went to your Chanel to see (for the first time) what kind of cars you have reviewed, and here’s a review of the focus.
(Which I’m considering as well)
How strange haha😌
Happy to be of service (hopefully!) and glad you stumbled across us 😊 Let us know which one you go for, Fiesta or Focus... A difficult choice!
overall ford europe lineup is pretty good actually
fiesta is really good focus is good too and there is bronco and mach e on the way too
Front looks ok, rear is a mess should have found a way to have the rear lights vertical like the mk1
I think it's a looker front and back (particularly in ST-Line form), but there are a few hatchbacks around at the moment that have similar rear ends...
NewMotoring this is the first focus that I really like the look of. The previous one (not sure what mk that was ) looked good. The models previous to that were terrible. (IMO)
That’s the Fiesta’s job
What’s your thoughts on Ford changing the multi link suspension (that everyone has been applauding) for a cheap torsion beam suspension? I’m having to terminate a lease contract because of it. 🤬
Its crazy how much the price has jumped since filming, my friend picked up a 1l Ecoboost st line automatic in blue and it was just over £25,000 (with no options, no heated seats or sensors etc)
He is right you know i have had a ford focus mk2 for around 7 years absolutely love that car however she getting a bit long in the tooth. Want a new car looked at a focus straight away not really considered much else's
I like the car. Would you recommend Auto or manual?
I drove the Auto last week, its really good
The Manual gearbox in the Focus is considered one of the best! You really can't go wrong: smooth, crisp shifts, very satisfying!
@@danielleroux6490 My friend has an Automatic ST line if you want to see his video on it?

Fabulous! I would personally go for a Titanium rather than an ST Line due to the softer suspension, but the 1.0 litre engine in this car is definitely the car I would prefer. The paint is quite good, isn't it?
The ST is hard and can slide easy, I have one, I prefer the RS on suspension. Great make Ford!
I am going to test drive a Focus ST Line tomorrow and will let you know what I think.
Please do! How was it?
@@newmotoringTest drive now done, I Thought it was very smooth, A bit of sound through the exhaust drove really well for a 3 cylinder, much nicer than the first ever 3 cylinder car I had. Just enough poke for me going to a bigger car for a first time, Although it didn't feel like a big car, you are very close to everything in the car and the Dark roof liner gives you a feeling of being in a much smaller car than you actually are. I would also like to say I have now purchased the ST Line X as there were some extras and the deal ford gave me i just couldn't turn it down. So happy with y purchase. Also with your permission once I pick it up could I link you my First thoughts video on it? the one i have bought is 6 months old but came with a tone of extras, lane assist, B and O speakers, Panoramic roof, wireless charging, Heated seats...etc
Phillipb is it the 1.5 182 engine you have ? And auto or manual?
@@asmith9040 mine is the 1.0 125 in cardinal red
@@asmith9040 and manual 6 speed with start stop
Veloster N here in the states.
Quick correction to the specs mentioned in the video: both variants of the 1.5 petrol (150ps and 182ps) are three-cylinders. Arguably more characterful than the four-cylinder predecessors but that's pretty subjective and I'll let the professional reviewer make the call there.
Yeah, but it's only on the new engines with three cylinders on a 1.5 petrol, the older ones is still four cylinders.
@@BaMbOoZeD - true of the Mk3 Focus but this is a review of the Mk4 which has never been available with a four cylinder petrol (at least not until the 2.3 ST comes out).
@@Henderson10102 Also for mk 3.5 and so on. Also the same for c-max, s-max. But I know this review is for the new focus mk4, but it's still a four cylinder for 18 models 😋 so not all models of the new focus will come with a three cylinder engine. Just like in the new faceliftet Mondeo.
@@BaMbOoZeD Soooo... I'm not sure if you're agreeing with me or not as the only 18 models with a 4 cylinder were, again, the mk3. On launch of the mk4, it was a 3 cylinder and this is a review and buying guide to the mk4. No other Ford models, including the older model Focus, Mondeo, C-Max, etc. are relevant to this statement.
@@Henderson10102 I'm just making a correction to your first answer 😂 not all focus mk4 is with a three cylinder engine with 150 or 182hp. Try to keep up and read 😉
Is there anyone here who drove Focus St (182 HP) and Honda Civic (same power)? Which one you would buy? Thank's! 😄
Hi Manuel. I have just bought the 182 petrol which, unlike the review here would suggest, is still a three cylinder. Sadly, I can't speak of the Honda directly, having not driven one, but my friend does own one and also thinks highly of his. For outright driving character whilst retaining enough comfort and refinement on journeys, I'd recommend the Focus. The engine is especially characterful. It also has a much better infotainment system. I like it's placing further up on the dash as well. For practically and (probably) economy, the Honda is your best bet. There is plenty of room in the rear of both cars but the Honda has a huge boot. I don't think there is much in it when comparing interiors... both seem well built, the Honda is little more rugged but, to me, I prefer the design of the Ford.
For context, I used to drive a 184ps Seat Leon diesel. The Ford doesn't feel quite as quick during casual driving (the substantially lower torque is to blame there) and I'm not impressed by the Ford's real-world economy but refinement was such a huge step up. That would also be true of the Honda but, in that instance, driving dynamics would be a step down.
Steering in the Ford is tricky to get used to and remains a little detached in the way many electronically assisted systems do but I don't think it's any different in the Honda and is something I'm getting used to.
Happy shopping!
@@Henderson10102 Thank you very much! :)
manuel rusu hi I got the 2019 ford focus st line ok 1.5 turbo.does my car got 182? please someone tell me thanks joe
How it looks I prefer Focus,driving Honda.
David Henderson , now you’ve had the car a couple of months any chance of an updated review? I’m waiting for a 182 auto.
yes, I could not resist and I already have. :) :)
Antonín Košíček what engine? And how’d u like it?
Rather get the standard or st ngl this is just yeeeee🤦🏼♂️
From experience, better a boring Ford and an unreliable Peugeot or Citroen
so you had to be behind the wheel the entire video
It's not a good looking car, the new Mazda 3 looks amazing
Much prefer the Focus. The Mazda 3 looks a bit bulbous compared to the previous generation.
Your comment is centered around your subjective opinion. It's not really up to you to tell other people what they should find aesthetically pleasing, just because it diverges from your subjective opinion.
@@stuartmiller7419 get a life, its my opinion and I am entitled to it
@@lesleydavies2988 lol ... and you are unanimous in that. It appears that you ALWAYS state your opinions as facts. Enjoy.
It's still an ugly car, in my subjective opinion
