(Video: Private)The Focus’ production end comes several months after the last sporty ST model rolled off the line on September 26th. Production of the Fiesta ended in 2023, the Mondeo ended the year before that, and the long-lived Car ended production in 2020.
With the Focus being discontinued, Ford no longer has regular passenger cars in its lineup, and now only consists of commercial vehicles and SUVs. Last year, Ford CEOJim FarleyHe explains why so many iconic cars have been discontinued.Car MagazineI explained.
The reason, he says, is simple: Ford wasn’t making enough money on these cars.Car Magazineexplained in an interview that the profit margins were too small to justify further development.
“We’ve always competed in the heart of the passenger car market, but it hasn’t worked very well with the Mondeo, Focus and Fiesta. While these cars were loved by many customers, they never justified a large capital investment and are unlike commercial vehicles,” Farley said.
