Ford Focus RS 2024 Features and Specs

This review covers the outlook for the new Ford Focus RS 2024. We’ll talk about the price, release date, and features and specs of this upcoming vehicle. Ford is delivering an increasing number of SUVs and crossovers to the market, so it has little leeway to play around with the CO2 standard. A mild hybrid powertrain will help it achieve this goal, but the car will still be a big car.

Ford Focus RS 2024 Outlook

The upcoming Ford Focus RS 2024 is on the horizon and we are looking forward to the new model’s arrival in Australia at the end of 2024. The RS is the last local shipment of the iconic Blue Oval hyper-hatch, with a replacement due in 2020. The Focus RS is set to feature a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a 48-volt mild hybrid system. The engine is a 2.3-liter four-cylinder petrol unit that will benefit from a 48-volt starter-generator to add 30 bhp and 70lb-ft of torque.

The  Ford Focus RS 2024 is an iconic hatchback that is suited for young buyers, although the company has committed itself to make trucks and SUVs. The Focus ST had 252 horsepower and was the last Focus to be manufactured in the U.S., making it one of the most affordable cars available.

Ford Focus RS 2024 Price

The Ford Focus RS 2024 is no longer being sold as a new model, but you can still find used cars on the market. Don’t expect to get a bargain hot hatch for under $15,000 – the real value is in the $40,000 to $50,000 range. Here’s a look at some options for the new car. Read on to find out more about the Ford Focus RS 2024 price and whether it is still worth buying.

While we can’t predict the price yet, we do know that the Ford Focus RS will come with a hybrid powertrain. That’s right, this car will have a plug-in hybrid powertrain. That means it will be more powerful and more efficient than a traditional gas model, and it will also have an all-wheel drive for more maneuverability. The hybrid version of the Ford Focus RS should be on sale sometime during the last quarter of 2024.

Ford Focus RS 2024 Release Date

The 2024 Ford Focus RS release date is a long way off. Instead, it’s likely to arrive in mid-2024. Ford is focusing its attention on developing a hybrid powertrain to provide the RS with more power than its current model. Originally, the company considered using a 48-volt mild hybrid system similar to the Mercedes-AMG E53 but now believes that more electrically assisted powertrains are needed to meet emissions targets. Instead, it’s considering using the full-hybrid 2.3-liter petrol unit with a CVT automatic transmission.

As far as the release date of the new hybrid Focus RS, many speculated that it’ll arrive after the company’s new-generation Focus. However, this is far from certain as the CO2 emission standards for the new model are too high. Other reports have suggested that a high-performance version of the Focus RS could even get a hybrid powertrain.

The new Ford Focus RS is arriving in Australia at the end of this year and is the final local shipment of the iconic Blue Oval hyper-hatch. It boasts 440 horsepower and 328 kilowatts. It also comes with a non-factory exhaust, a larger turbo, and purple titanium exhaust tips.

The 2024 Ford Focus RS will feature a 10-speaker B&O sound system, a wireless phone charging pad, and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto compatibility. Other interior upgrades will include a high-resolution touchscreen, navigation, and a leather steering wheel.  Ford Focus RS 2024 features more advanced safety equipment.

Performance

Ford Focus RS 2024 is available in Australia in the second half of this year. Among the features of the RS version of the Focus is a Quaife mechanical limited-slip front differential, a two-tone exterior, and interior color scheme, and an RS-badged engine.

The Ford Focus RS 2024 has an aerodynamic and cooling design, and it is built at Ford’s Saarlouis, Germany plant. It will be powered by Ford’s EcoBoost technology, which powers nearly every Ford vehicle on the market. Ford says that the car will generate 315 horsepower using a hybrid powertrain, and the engine shares a common structure with the Mustang. Despite the similarities between the two engines, it will feature a redesigned rear differential and a more powerful electric motor.
