Ford Reduces Focus Prices(158)

Ford Australia has reduced the manufacturer's list price‡ (MLP) of the stylish Focus range and added a manual transmission to the Ambiente sedan.

The Focus Ambiente is now offered in both sedan and hatch body styles with manual transmission as standard offering exceptional value and is currently available at the drive-away price of $19,990.

Drive-away pricing is now also available on Sport manual at $27,490 and continues on Trend manual at $22,890.

General Marketing Manager, Ford Australia, David Katic said “With the increase of standard equipment in Focus MKII including the in-car connectivity technology of Ford SYNC, Focus was already great value. Now with a new reduced price and drive-away prices on select models, Focus is outstanding value and clearly a smart choice.

“Since we introduced the Focus MKII, Ambiente sedan came with automatic transmission as standard. Now, with the option of a manual transmission and a revised MLP, Focus sedan is available to customers at a more competitive entry point.

“Current drive-away pricing puts Ambiente sedan manual at $19,990 which is truly outstanding value,” Katic said.
