The Ford Focus Wagon is the third and final version of the Focus to date. The station wagon was launched after the January increase in prices for the "Tricks". In addition, Wagon, unlike a sedan and a hatchback, can only be purchased starting with the Trend configuration. Recall that the cars in the Trend configuration are equipped with an on-board computer, air conditioning, an audio system, side mirrors with heating. It turns out that the most affordable Focus wagon costs 634, 000 rubles. This is a car with a new Focus 85-horsepower 1.6-liter engine.
As you can see, the surcharge for the trunk of larger capacity on the Focus is 35, 000 rubles. That is exactly how much cargo-passenger Focus is more expensive than a hatchback. The weak Focus Wagon is available only with a manual gearbox, the remaining versions (gasoline, 105, 125, 150 forces) with a mechanics and Powershift gearbox, and the diesel version can only be automatic.

Many people remember that at the previous Foci only the 3-door hatchback was equipped with the weakest engine, which was not actually on sale. And now Ford does not expect that the share of 85-horsepower cars will be significant. ZaRulem-Online asked Mark Simpson, Ford Sollers vice president of marketing, sales and services, why is this version needed at all? “We want to expand the Focus lineup and give corporate parks the opportunity to save,” was Mr. Simpson’s response.
When asked if motors from the new Ecoboost family will appear on the Focus, Simpson replied with the sacramental "never say never." But there are no technical obstacles, according to the vice president of Ford Sollers. Of course, everything depends on the price. After all, to be a “people's” car today, like ten or five years ago, Focus is becoming more difficult. And the prices of the Focus wagon confirm this.

The most affordable Focus Wagon with an automatic transmission will cost 681, 000 rubles - a car with a 105-horsepower 1.6-liter engine. For the 125-strong version, you will have to pay from 670 to 705 thousand rubles. And the most powerful gasoline version (2 liters, 150 hp) will cost at least 713, 000 (748, 000) with a Powershift box. Again, the same 35, 000 surcharges for the "machine."
The 2-liter diesel engine, as in the case of the hatchback and sedan, is combined on the Focus only with a Powershift automatic transmission. Such a car can be purchased only in a richer configuration Trend Sport. Price - from 872 500 rubles. Ford does not offer affordable diesel versions for taxis and corporate parks on Focus III. Obviously, the "company cars" should be 85-strong cars.
The third Focus has become what it has always been in Europe, that is, a direct competitor to VW Golf, including for the price. And for the place of the people's car, Fordians must look for another candidate from the B-plus segment. And most likely, it will be a Fiesta sedan. Is it in vain that Ford joined forces with Sollers?
