- New 16” wheel cover design for Ambiente
- Body coloured door handles for Ambiente
- Short overhead console for sunglasses (now on Ambiente & Trend)
- Rear View Camera on Sport and Titanium
- Mini spare wheel on Titanium
- Full leather trim on Titanium
- Deletion of lumbar support on Trend
- Deletion of leather gear stick on Trend
- Deletion of standard door scruff plates on Sport & Titanium
- Deletion of heated front seats on the Titanium
- Deletion of full-size spare on Titanium
- Addition of Active City Stop to the Sports Executive Pack on Titanium

Confirmed

- Ford SYNC across the range
- Series badge on rear of vehicle (as seen on the Titanium pictures posted)
- New 17” allow wheels on Sport (as seen on the ‘S’ model Thai-Built Focus)
- Body Coloured Styling Kit (as seen on the ‘S’ model and Titanium)

The only other thing is the deletion of the DTRL (Daytime Running Lamps) on the Titanium, which to me, still appear on the car.

The model range will also decrease:

- No more Sport sedan model (only comes in hatch with the LW MKII)
- No more 2.0L TDCI diesel Titanium sedan

The rest of the range remains untouched. Making it 14 cars in the line-up, not 17.

Colours will now be:

- Midnight Sky
- Panther Black
- Ignot Silver
- Lunar Sky
- Winning Blue
- Candy Red
- Frozen White

I’ve seen all this on the official Ford Bulletin to dealers, which a dealer in Brisbane showed me, so I took photos when she wasn’t looking! Some facts were backed up by my local dealer (probably to get me to buy my Titanium!).

Hope this helps guys!
Nice work.
