Looking on the Ford Configurator it appears that the Focus 1.0 Ecoboost Petrol is now only available with Auto Box unless you opt for the Mild Hybrid is this correct? or am I missing something.

    Yes you are correct. There is a gaping hole in the Focus range at the moment.

    It fully depends on the market/country. For every market/country the Ford organization in the particular nation has the liberty to choose their own specifications. 

    In most European countries the 100 HP version of the 1.0 ECOboost with manual transmission is still available. The 125 HP version with manual transmission is replaced by the new 125 HP Mild Hybrid version. 

    In most countries the 155 HP version of the 1.0 ECOboost Mild Hybrid also replaced the 150 HP version of the 1.5 ECOboost with manual transmission. 

     

    I guess that it will only be a matter of time before Ford also introduces automatic transmission versions of the 1.0 ECOboost Mild Hybrid. If that happens the conventional 1.0 ECOboost and possibly also the 1.5 ECOboost (definitely the 150 HP version) will probably be replaced completely.

    1.5 is already gone.  You cannot build and price anything between the 1.0 155bhp hybrid and the 280bhp 2.3

    Most powerful Focus auto at the moment is the 1.0 125bhp.

    Thanks for the reply guys but after the experience I and many others have had with the MK4 Focus I think the last thing Ford should be doing is introducing more Electrics into the mix at least not before they have sorted out the other issues first (the NEW KUGA Plug in Hybrid is already having problems)

    I am 7 weeks short of owning my Focus Vignale 1.0 for a year and although it has been OK since I got rid of the STOP/START during lockdown I am always waiting for the next Error Message to pop up on the Display its a shame really because it is otherwise a very nice car (not as nice as the 2014 MK3 1.6TDI Zetec S that I traded in though)

    It may be gone in the UK but in most other countries the 1.5 ECOboost is still available.
