Ford Focus ST prices announced

The Ford Focus ST goes on sale in the UK on 1 June, priced from £21,995 for the hatchback and £23,095 for the estate.

The ST comes in three specification levels: ST, ST-2 and ST-3.

Power comes from a 250bhp 2.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine, yet it is capable of 39.2mpg and emits 169g/km - 20 per cent better than its predecessor.

On the outside, the ST features a central-exit exhaust, a sports grille, an aggressive bodykit and optional Tangerine Scream body paint, which is exclusive to the ST.

All models come with keyless start, Recaro sports seats, DAB radio, Bluetooth and 18-inch alloy wheels. The top-spec ST-3 model adds heated leather seats, xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights and keyless entry.

Optional extras include grey-coloured alloy wheels, red brake calipers and illuminated scuff plates.

The Focus ST is also available with three option packs, including the Driver Assistance Pack, City Pack and ST Style Pack. A Sony-branded sat-nav system with rear view camera is also available.
