Ford Focus 4 2022: Europe’s best-selling car updated.

For the new sales season, Ford Europe has updated the Focus 2022 model year, but even earlier it was done in China, where hatchbacks and station wagons have been restyled under their own separate program.

They are distinguished, first of all, enlarged optics with more expressive LED «stuffing» and a radiator grille with enlarged «cells».

However, looking at the updated «European» Ford Focus, we can see other changes, such as a different line of the hood and other bumper vents.

However, the main differences are in a lot of small details, because the Old World market is well studied by the brand, and this allows offering local customers exactly what they expect from a compact car, which for more than 10 years is in the top ten best selling cars in Europe.

Special attention deserves Focus wagon version: now he gets high-quality carpeting, the sides appeared net-pockets, and the raised floor panel is divided into two parts, one of which can be fixed in an upright position.

This allows you to create a so-called «wet zone», where it is convenient to put the dirty things. To facilitate cleaning, there is a special easy-to-clean cover.
