Do you guys think that the new Focus ST 2018 would get the option AWD?
Here in Belgium you can buy the S-Max and the Mondeo with AWD, you can also buy the Focus ST 2015 with powershift and steering wheel gearshift paddles since last year so AWD would be a great addition.
I would buy one instant but maybe i have too much high hopes

edit:

I did read this today.

The base car should be coming at around 19,000 while the higher end models can cost you up to 32,000 – such as the Sporty ST with the Active four wheel driving system and glam Vignale trim. So, ready for the release of Ford Focus 2018?

I think with the RS being awd, making the ST awd also removes a lot of the reason to get an RS. So no I don't think they will. It would be nice though.

The Mondeo ST-line and even the new fiesta has a 4WD version now. So the new Focus ST-line will have the most change to get a 4WD version then?
I am still hoping for one

I had never even heard of that car, and we don't have it over here in the U.S. I don't think. Looks awesome and I would love for a 4wd.

Mondeo = Ford Fusion in the US. Pretty sure the ST Line Mondeo is basically a Fusion Sport.

Yeah but do we have a sexy wagon st? I don't think we do, and if we do then I know what I'm getting when the babies start poppin'

There is already and AWD Focus. It's the RS sub model. It also one of that sub models main selling points. So I doubt the ST sub model will get that change for some time.

Agree with UnfocusedST. At most, it would get a mechanical LSD, which would be amazing.

This is the AWD ST-Line we have in europe.

This is the 4WD ST-Line we have in europe.

I believe that is the Fusion Sport over here.

It listed a 2.0T at the end of the video, and our Fusion Sport comes with the 2.7TT.

The fastest engine in europe for the mondeo atm is the 2.0T with 240hp.

Okay. We do have a 2.0L AWD turbo Fusion stateside.

Nope, but we rarely get wagons over here. There is a Focus ST wagon in Europe too that we will never have.

I might have bought a wagon. I'd rather have a RS wagon.

I'd buy an ST or RS wagon, whichever the offer, I like how wagons look if done right and I also like the extra space in the back. I know that I am in the minority, I also don't really mind mini-vans. Can't get my wife to drive either type though and I'm sticking with the ST lol

 

[m_schumacher]

I highly doubt they will make it AWD when the RS is already AWD. That said I don't really know how overseas ford markets work.

 

[WeST.]

VW is also pretty hesitant to make a GTI or R wagon but I think would be more likely to then Ford.

AWD ST wouldn't be a terrible idea. Look at the WRX and even the last Lancer Ralliart, it would slot in with these cars. Probably be like the WRX, open diffs AWD + brake vectoring.

Range Rover/Land Rover compact SUV's all use the 2.0T Ecoboost (240hp version) and I know the Evoque for sure uses that 2.0T paired with a 9+spd ZF transmission, steering wheel mounted paddle shifters, and the GKN Focus RS AWD system. There's a lot in the parts bin for Ford to use.
