The 2015 Ford Focus was supposed to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month but a the French Ford site has leaked the photos in advance of the showing.
The main difference between it the 2014 model is a mid-cycle facelift, and what a face it’s gained. The front end is now dominated by Ford’s five-sided “Aston Martin” style grille, and the rest of the nose has been redesigned to follow suit with the Blue Oval’s corporate look.
Thanks to the larger grille, its lower air intakes are much smaller now, and new fog light openings with a touch of silver trim lend an upscale look to the compact. Headlights, too, have been reshaped for a more aggressive look with sharper corners and crisper edges. Moreover, the hood also gets some sporty contours with a center ridge that looks like something you’d find on a mid-sizer or better.
The side and rear looks largely the same, although the taillights do seem to have received a nice smoked-out coating. On the inside, the center console appears to have been improved with dark finish materials for an ritzier look, and a new three-spoke steering wheel looks mighty sporty indeed. Also leaked were photos of the facelifted Focus wagon, a version that is sadly not expected to arrive on US shores.
No specs were revealed, and in fact these images appear to have emerged as more of a slip-up than anything official from Ford itself. We’ll have all the details when the Geneva Motor Show opens March 4.
