Focus RS FAQ’s
What is the running cost?
Designed for power rather than energy efficiency, although Ford has added auto start/stop technology
to cut down emissions slightly. The Ecoboost engine has also been tuned specifically for the RS,
with CO2 emissions of 175g/km resulting in road tax costing around £205 for the year. A cheaper
alternative in comparison to some fast hatch rivals. Take it easy from time to time and the running
costs won’t set you back more than what is expected from an RS model.
How much is the price tag?
All-Wheel Drive, Launch Control and four different driving modes among other Ford technology
features. This hot hatch provides a lot and at a competitive price to rival competitors. At just
£31,000 and with a variety of extras available, customise your RS for the ultimate hatchback. Just
the thing to top trump your neighbour’s standard entry Focus.
