2020 Ford Focus ST-If you need to carry more stuff, there’s also a Focus ST wagon that’ll do the sprint in a not-too-shabby 5.8 seconds. In addition, Ford is also selling frugal diesel versions of the two sporty cars, but those are significantly slower in the sprint to 62 mph, with the hatch needing 7.6 seconds whereas the wagon takes 7.7s to complete the task. The gasoline-fueled STs will top out at 155 mph (250 kph) compared to the 137 mph (220 kph) maximum velocity of the thrifty diesels 2020 Ford Focus ST
Interestingly, Ford claims the new Focus ST has better in-gear acceleration than the mighty all-wheel-drive Focus RS of the previous generation, but without going into any other details. We do know that in fourth gear, the hatchback with the gasoline engine will do the 31 – 62 mph (50 – 100 kph) run in 4 seconds flat and in 7.3 seconds with the diesel. The numbers are not out yet for the wagon, but the long-roof version should be a bit slower due to its higher weight.

Bear in mind that all of the performance figures mentioned above are for the Focus STs fitted with the six-speed manual gearbox. Come fall, the hatchback and the wagon will also be offered with a seven-speed automatic transmission to please everyone. Both of them incorporate Ford’s first electronic limited-slip differential installed in a front-wheel-drive car, with hydraulically activated clutches to send up to 100% of torque to the wheel for enhanced traction to reduce the dreaded understeer.
