2010 Ford Focus Sport TDCi

Ford Group Philippines has upgraded the current-generation Focus through a very minor facelift while giving both the hatchback and the sedan versions of the vehicle equipment upgrades.

With upgrades that are first of its class, the Ford Ghia TDCi now sports the 16-inch wheels of the European market-only Focus ST hot hatch. The Ghia also now has rain-sensing wipers, auto on/off headlamps, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The Focus Sport hatchback also now has a sportier front bumper with a body-colored front hood bar and the blacked-out fog lamp bezel with chrome trim.

The petrol-fed Focus Ghia gets all of the above upgrades minus the 16-inch ST wheels while the 1.8-liter Focus Trend sedan and hatchback get a wheels upgraded from 15 to 16 inches to go with the front passenger airbag that complements the standard driver’s side airbag.

What makes these upgrades even better news to those eyeing the Ford Focus is that the two-liter petrol-fed Ghia sedan and Sport hatchback will be offered at P975,000-- P24,000 lower than the previous price of P999,000.

Prices of the other variants like the diesel-fed two-liter Sport hatchback and Ghia sedan have gone up to P1,195,000, an increase of just P6,000; while the 1.8-liter Trend sedan and hatchback with AT are now at P879,000 with a P10,000 increase.

“The Focus just keeps on getting better and better--now, with welcomed improvements to both our product offering and service experience,” said Steven Tan, Ford Group Philippines vice president for sales and marketing.

*Although it wasn't mentioned, an upgraded Trend M/T sedan is also available according to Ford.
*Correction on the article, these are not ST wheels, the ST uses 18 inch Y-spoke wheels, the ones in the photo above are the 16 inch Y-spoke wheels that are optional on the lower-end euro Focus (part of the Sport Pack).

:bounceD: This is nice. Good upgrades especially the rims and airbags on the trend model. May chance din kaya na mgoffer sila ng manual tranny sa trend hatch? Better yet a 1.8 liter TDCi with a manual tranny to complement as a lower end variant of the TDCi sport that is priced below 1M? Yun eh para sa amin na mejo tight ang budget. Hehehehe. (Asa pa. )

If you are referring to the Focus 2.0 (gas) or Focus 2.0 TDCi (diesel), they have good to great power delivery.

can anyone help where I can see the specification data of the updated ford focus models (specifically the 1.8 5dr trend)

mukhang di tama yun nasa website nun ford philippines eh (the trend 1.8 5dr is showing the specification data for the TDCi model)

I am currently trying to figure out which car brings the best value.

with my budget, i am considering the Jazz 1.5 or the Trend 1.8 5dr

Most reviews prefer the Jazz (even TopGear is opting for the Jazz when compared to the 1.8 Trend)

The upgraded 2010 Focus Trend 1.8 now has dual-airbags (old ones had 1 airbag) and 16 inch wheels (up from 15's).
Other carry over features from the old model are rear aircon vents, stereo/cd player with aux audio jack, back-up sensors (hatchback), center console box with sliding armrest, fog lamps, 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and EBD and unlike subcompact cars, it has a multi-link rear suspension.

The Trend 1.8 A/T hatchback and sedan is priced at P879K while the Trend 1.8 sedan is priced at P799K.

Best thing to do is go visit the Honda and Ford showrooms and go for a test drive.

I don't recall them mentioning stereo/speaker upgrades for 2010.

If there are no upgrades, then the Trend still has a single in-dash CD and 4-speakers (no tweeters)

ano po ba ang fuel consumption ng 1.8L trend HB? I am currently planning on getting one.
