Overview

• The last Focus ST, a red wagon, left Ford’s Saarlouis, Germany assembly line on September 26, 2025, documented by enthusiast photos shared on Facebook and Reddit.
• Full Focus production in Germany is scheduled to end in November 2025, with the plant’s future uncertain and reports of a roughly 1,000-person skeleton crew remaining.
• CEO Jim Farley has said Ford wasn’t making “any real money” on these cars as European emissions rules tighten and demand for hatchbacks declines.
• The Mk4 Focus ST closed out the line with a 276 hp 2.3-liter turbo-four and an electronic limited-slip differential, following the Fiesta ST’s 2023 exit.
• Regional reporting indicates Ford is exploring new passenger vehicles for Europe, potentially including EV-based models, though any return has not been confirmed.
