The facelifted 2015 Ford Focus ST came under the spotlight in the latest episode of MT’s Ignition web video series, and it didn’t disappoint.

On the contrary, the hot hatch is summed up by Carlos Lago as a bigger, more fun Fiesta ST, which is quite a statement considering the universal praise received by the Ford’s smallest hot hatch.

Besides the exterior design upgrade, the 2015 Ford Focus ST has also received updates to the chassis, including new front springs and shock absorbers on all four corners. According to the reviewer, this update has resulted in an improved mid-corner behavior.

Overall, the car is seen as very well balanced and a jack of all trades – the ideal car for those who want a fun yet practical and quite affordable hatchback.
