Ford UK has announced the pricing of the 2015 Focus ST. It starts from just £22,195 for the hatchback version and the estate is priced at £23,295.

Some of the new features include revised front and rear bumpers, a new front hood and updated headlights featuring HID headlamps standard with ST2 and ST3 trim levels. Other highlights include restyled fog lights and a set of new 18" alloy wheels fitted with low-profile performance tires.

There is also a new color: Magnetic Metallic replacing the famous Ingot Silver. Two over-the-top stripe choices now available – Satin Black and High Gloss Red, stripes come with matching mirror skull caps.

The interior boasts a new instrument panel, a new media bin with USB smart charging port, which charges two times faster than previous USB port. Also updated are front door storage places and cupholders. The steering wheel is more ergonomic and provides extra leg clearance thanks to its flattened bottom. The Recaro sport seats are impressive as the driver's one features 8-way adjusting.

The engine is a 2.0 liter EcoBoost four-cylinder – 250HP (183 kW) and 360Nm (265 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 247 km/h (154 mph). The fuel consumption is impressive – 6.8 liters / 100 km in combined cycle (41.5 mpg UK or 34.5 mpg US) with CO2 emissions of 158 g/km. The result is thanks to a new engine start/stop system. The other new engine is a 2.0 liter TDCi with 185HP (136 kW) and 400Nm (295 lb-ft). 0-100 km/h in 8.1 seconds and a top speed of 217 km/h (135 mph). It will average 4.4 liters / 100 km (64.2 mpg UK or 53.4 mpg US) with CO2 emissions of 114 g/km. The estate model is slightly heavier, so it accelerates to 100 km/h with 0.2 seconds slower. Still, it can hit the same top speed as the hatchback.
