The Ford Focus is a compact car model manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. Introduced in 1998, it was developed as part of the Ford 2000 initiative to create a single global compact vehicle. The model was primarily designed by Ford's European teams and has been produced in multiple generations across various countries, including Germany and China.
The discontinuation of the Ford Focus is notable as it marks the end of a significant model line that was a key player in the global compact car market for over two decades. The Focus was renowned for its driving dynamics and was a popular choice among consumers, contributing substantially to Ford's sales volume, particularly in Europe and other international markets.
Ford officially confirmed the model's phase-out in 2025, aligning with a strategic announcement made in 2022. This decision is part of the company's broader shift in focus toward electric vehicles and SUVs, reflecting changing consumer preferences and stricter global emissions regulations. The move signifies a major transition in Ford's product strategy and the evolving landscape of the automotive industry.
