Ford extends ST Line treatment to entire range following on from Fiesta and Focus start
Early last year, Ford added an ST-Line badge to the Fiesta and the Focus. The idea was to give their car a bit of a sporty lift in order to make these editions stand out from the regular range and tempt more youthful customers to the brand.
Back then, they promised there would be more throughout the range, and last week the rest of the cars in the catalogue were given the ST-Line treatment.
Joining the Fiesta and Focus ST-Line models, new ST-Line versions of EcoSport, Mondeo, Kuga, S-MAX and Edge are now available featuring sporty styling inspired by Ford Performance and offering a range of powerful and efficient EcoBoost petrol and TDCi diesel powertrain options.
Across the ST-Line range engines including Ford’s multi-award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine; sport suspension and body styling; unique alloy wheel designs; and sport seats, sport steering wheel and alloy pedals for the interior.
“Our full ST-Line range makes it easier for even more customers to experience the sporty style and driving dynamics inspired by our most exciting Ford Performance line-up ever, that includes models such as the Focus RS, Fiesta ST200, Mustang and Ford GT supercar” said Ciarán McMahon, Chairman and Managing Director of Ford Ireland.
“With its sporty looks, extra powered engines and good value, the previously launched Fiesta and Focus ST-Line models have caught the eye of a wide swathe of Irish buyers and I am sure these latest ST-Line models will equally attract the attention of discerning buyers over the coming months.
“The ST-Line range offers customers a chance to enjoy the famous fun-to-drive characteristics and great looks of Ford’s performance models in an exciting and affordable package with a broad range of petrol and diesel engines,” concluded McMahon.
