We'd Be Thrilled If The Next Ford Focus ST Looked Like This

In about a year from now we'll have seen the redesigned next generation Ford Focus. Taking into account thejust revealed 2018 Fiesta won't be coming to the US, the Focus has a very important task as Ford's new entry-level model. What's more, there will be a second generation ST and, hopefully, an RS. We'vepreviously seen spy shotsof the new Focus out testing, butCars.co.zahas created this pair of renderings, based on spy shots, of what the next Focus could look like.

Look closely and you'll see elements of Ford's latest styling language, which is more evolutionary than revolutionary at the moment. Overall, it's a sharper, more elegant look than the current car that we think gives the Focus a more mature look that's similar to the Volkswagen Golf. The new Focus will be built on an updated version of the existing front-wheel-drive platform, though Ford designers have managed to make the car lower, wider, and longer than the current car. Interior space will also be increased, especially for rear seat passengers. Also like today's Focus, we'll see the return of a number of trim levels, from the base SE to the ST. As for another RS, that still remains to be seen.
