Hyundai Elantra GT Hatchback Killed by Venue and Kona Crossovers

One of our favorite affordable hatchbacks is saying goodbye, and we’re not at all ready to see it go. Hyundai will discontinue the Elantra GT in the U.S. after the 2020 model year to focus on its growing crossover lineup.

Hyundai said the decision was “due to [an] expanded SUV lineup that includes Venue and Kona.” It’s a shame that Hyundai is sacrificing the Elantra GT, because we always viewed it as a great crossover alternative thanks to its spacious rear seats, cavernous cargo capacity, and strong visibility. We also love that the hatchback is nimble, relatively quiet, and fun to take around a corner.

This also marks the end of the road for the even-more-entertaining Elantra GT N Line. Along with a more powerful engine making 201 horsepower, this variant offers a slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission. In a nutshell, it’s a cheaper, and arguably just-as-fun-to-drive Volkswagen GTI alternative. Those looking for spirited performance may want to consider the upcoming Elantra N Line sedan, which looks promising based on early teaser photos. And let’s not forget about the raucous, three-door Hyundai Veloster N, which delivers a standard 275 horsepower for the new model year.

Also ensuring this news stings? We were hoping that the Elantra GT would receive the same upscale treatments as the recently updated i30 hatchback for Europe. This refreshed sister model to the U.S. car features attractively slim headlights and an assertive grille, plus more up-to-date interior tech. But instead of getting some much-needed TLC, the Elantra GT joins the Ford Focus ST, Volkswagen Golf R, and many other delectable hatches in the grave. We will continue to mourn these fine cars felled by taller, less fun, but apparently more popular crossovers and SUVs.

New-gen Ford Performance Focus ST Brings Most Capable Model To Date, With New 2.3L Turbocharged Powertrain Including 7-speed Paddleshift Auto For The First Time

Ford Performance Focus ST will debut in Australia and New Zealand in Q1 2020 with new-generation model offering a choice of automatic and manual models for the first time, taking full advantage of the tech and innovation of new-generation Focus’ C2 platform

Focus ST brings improved cabin space, 206kW/420Nm turbocharged powertrain, selectable Drive Modes, with an electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD), Launch Control, Performance shift-lights, and fully-independent rear with Adaptive Suspension

SYNC 3 as standard brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility, with wireless smartphone charging, built-in sat-nav, B&O PLAY 10-speaker premium audio, 180-degree rear-view camera, with tech including AEB with Pedestrian Detection

Focus ST comes with a five-year/unlimited kilometre factory warranty, as well as Ford Service Benefits, which includes Service Loan Car Program, Service Price Promise and SYNC 3 sat-nav mapping updates to eligible customers at participating dealerships

MELBOURNE, Australia, September 10, 2019 – The new-generation Ford Focus ST, developed under the leadership of Ford Performance, brings Australian enthusiasts the most advanced, capable Focus ST to date with more power, technology and choice. Based on the new-generation Focus’ C2 platform, the Focus ST brings an automatic variant for the first time, as well as the traditional enthusiast-focussed six-speed manual with rev-matching. In addition to expanded Selectable Drive Modes, there’s new technology including Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD), an electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD), and 2.3L turbocharged engine. “The Focus ST joins the Fiesta ST for 2020, offering a full suite of Ford Performance hot hatches for local enthusiasts,” said Kay Hart, President and CEO, Ford Australia and New Zealand. “Both bring new technology, with the Focus ST building on the innovation and tech leadership of the new-generation Focus, delivering a highly capable and livable performance hatch.” The Focus ST will be fully-imported from Germany, and will be on sale in Australia in 2020 with an MLP of $44,6901 for the 6-speed manual. A 7-speed paddleshift automatic is offered as a no-cost-option, with the ST taking the advanced C2 platform of the new Focus, introduced to Australia in late 2018, as a foundation to offer greater cabin space, cargo capacity as well as dynamic capability based upon a platform that delivers a 20 percent increase in torsional rigidity over the outgoing model. “Intelligent technologies like eLSD and CCD make our new-generation Focus ST the most ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ yet, able to switch from refined tourer to focussed performance car at the push of a button,” said Leo Roeks, Ford Performance director, Europe. “We’ve incorporated learnings from programs including our Ford GT supercar and the acclaimed Focus RS to develop a mid-size performance car with a degree of flexibility that’s unique in its segment.”

Focus ST: Looks that skill The Focus ST’s features both inside and out are designed to showcase its performance intent from any angle, building on the new-generation Focus’ core elements to deliver a Ford Performance optimised package. Immediately apparent, an aggressive stance is achieved with 19-inch machined alloy wheels, fitted with 235/35 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, as standard, with suspension that lowers ride height by 10mm over the standard Focus model. The Focus ST’s larger front and rear brake components are clearly visible, standing out with red brake calipers that clamp larger 330mm front and 302mm rear ventilated discs. A new electronic brake booster improves brake pedal feel, while braking performance was verified using the same demanding test procedures as the Ford GT supercar, and saw almost four-times the fade resistance performance of the previous generation Focus ST in testing. The Focus ST also boasts a honeycomb front grille, with LED headlight and taillights featuring LED Daytime Running Lights and for a signature look, with unique front and rear bumpers incorporating LED fog lamps and sculpted side-skirts producing a muscular look. An integrated spoiler caps off the major exterior changes on the ST’s hatch. Details include dual chrome exhaust tips, rear privacy glass as well as heated power-folding exterior mirrors with puddle lamps. There’s also unique ST badging in the front grille and rear hatch, exterior colour options chosen to emphasise the Focus ST’s dynamic styling including exclusive Ford Performance Blue and Orange Fury, alongside Frozen White, Magnetic (grey), Race Red, Ruby Red and Shadow Black2. The attention to detail continues inside the Focus ST. The heated Recaro sports seats are trimmed in leather and suede, with larger bolsters for improved lateral support during cornering, and feature ST logos, with lumbar support on the driver’s seat. Interior space is improved for the new-generation Focus ST, thanks to a 53mm increase in wheelbase, with greater occupant space in both front and second rows for greater comfort and convenience. Ford Performance instrumentation is standard, as are aluminium pedals that are matched to a chrome gear-lever for the six-speed manual, while the automatic Focus ST takes advantage of the new-generation e-shifter, which liberates space while enabling a cleaner console look. An electronic park brake also enhances space and interior sophistication for either transmission choice, while a flat-bottom heated ST steering wheel, wrapped in perforated leather, houses audio and SYNC 3 controls while delivering a premium feel and engagement for the driver.

Focus ST: Connectivity, technology and safety SYNC 33 as standard is another feature that brings livability and technology to the Focus ST. This includes a high-definition 8.0-inch touchscreen display, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone capability4. Functions, including Siri, can be accessed via the steering-wheel mounted voice activation controls, with capabilities including voice-activated text messaging. In addition, the Focus ST’s standard built-in sat-nav can also be accessed by voice-command, with the system specially engineered to comprehend Australian accents. The Focus ST also features wireless smartphone charging as standard, with technology including keyless entry and push-button engine start, ambient LED lighting and dual-zone climate control. A five-star ANCAP rating was awarded to the new-generation Focus line-up in 2019, with the standardisation of the Driver Assist Technology (DAT)5 praised by ANCAP CEO James Goodwin. The Focus ST includes a full suite of safety and DAT as standard, including:

Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with Cyclist and Pedestrian Detectioniv

Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross Traffic Alert

Lane Departure Warning

Lane Keep Assist

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Hill Launch Assist

180-degree full-colour, high-definition rear-view camera

Dynamic Stability Control

Driver, Driver’s side, Passenger Side and full curtain airbags

Auto high-beam headlights

LED Daytime Running Lights

Focus ST: Focus RS-developed powertrain The new all-aluminium 2.3-litre, turbocharged powertrain is the most potent ever offered in a Focus ST. Using advanced turbocharging technology to deliver 206kW6of power at 5,500 rpm – an increase of 22kW over the outgoing Focus ST – and a significant jump in torque, from 360Nm previously to 420Nmv , it is also the most free-revving Focus ST engine ever. Engine response is enhanced using a low-inertia twin-scroll turbocharger, which scavenges exhaust gas energy more effectively using separated channels to minimise interference between gas pulses. An electronically actuated waste-gate allows closer control of boost pressures for optimised engine performance. In addition, a unique exhaust system that reduces back pressure, bespoke air intake system and optimised intercooler further improve breathing. Innovative anti-lag technology developed for the Ford GT supercar and F-150 Raptor pick-up is introduced to the Focus ST, for immediate power delivery in Sport and Track Drive Modes. Anti‑lag keeps the throttle open when the driver lifts off the accelerator pedal, alleviating the reversal of air flow from the turbocharger to maintain compressor wheel speed and enabling boost pressure to build faster on demand. The Focus ST’s six-speed manual transmission enables more urgent gear-changes and provides a sportier feel with a shift-throw reduction of 7 percent compared with the standard all-new Focus. Ford’s rev-matching technology that debuted on the new Ford Mustang is standard for manual models. Delivering smoother, faster downshifts, the technology is accompanied by a shift indicator light, and uses the engine’s electronic control system to briefly ‘blip’ the throttle as the driver engages a lower gear – matching the engine rotation speed to that of the gear that is being selected. Rev-matching enables less-experienced performance drivers to benefit from the seamless, momentum-maintaining gearshifts delivered by the heel-and-toe driving technique. A new seven-speed paddleshift automatic will complement the rewarding, engaging and sporty 2.3-litre engine’s driving experience. Adaptive Shift Scheduling assesses individual driving styles to optimise gearshift timings, and is enhanced to offer more flexibility and the ability to differentiate between road and track use. Drivers can also select gears manually using steering wheel-mounted paddle-shifters.

Selectable Drive Modes: Focus ST’s smart chassis Building on accomplished Ford Focus’ driving dynamics, the new-generation Focus ST was developed to blend B-road fun-to-drive, legitimate track-day performance, and everyday usability. “Our target was to deliver an new-generation Focus ST that is as effortless to drive day-to-day as the rest of the Focus line-up,” Roeks said. “The model’s comprehensive range of technologies means customers gain exhilarating ST performance without sacrifice.” This flexibility and capability is accessed via Selectable Drive Modes that optimise the Focus ST’s capabilities for road (or track) conditions ahead. Slippery, Normal, Sport and Track Drive Modes adjust the eLSD, CCD, EPAS, throttle mapping, automatic transmission shift scheduling, electronic stability control (ESC), electronic sound enhancement (ESE) and climate settings to suit the driving scenario. A dedicated “Sport” button on the flat-bottomed steering wheel gives direct access to Sport mode, and an additional “Mode” button allows drivers to quickly scroll through the Drive Mode options. “Selecting Track mode instantly introduces higher steering efforts for more feedback; tunes the throttle to be more aggressive; instructs the eLSD to deliver maximum traction; and gives drivers more leeway within the ESC system,” Roeks said. “Drivers can have full confidence in the Focus ST’s ability to deliver on the track.” The Focus ST’s chassis brings a unique fully-independent rear suspension configuration that helps optimise the vehicle’s responses to driver inputs without sacrificing comfort. The agile and energetic character of the standard Focus is retained using the original spring specifications, with damping stiffness increased up to 20 percent at the front and 13 percent at the rear, and ride height reduced by 10mm, to improve road-holding and response in performance driving scenarios. The chassis upgrades also include Ford’s sophisticated Continuously Controlled Damper (CCD) technology for the first time on a Focus in Australia. The system monitors suspension, body, steering and braking inputs every 2 milliseconds to adjust damping responses for outstanding ride quality and driving dynamics. Also improving capability is the eLSD. The Borg Warner-developed technology is faster to deploy and offers greater precision than a traditional mechanical LSD. The system can pre-emptively adjust torque distribution using inputs from powertrain and vehicle dynamics sensors, rather than responding to wheelspin as it occurs, and can apply differential locking gradually for fine-tuning performance. The all-new Focus ST also takes Ford’s fastest-steering-response crown from the acclaimed Fiesta ST. The electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) system is 15 percent faster than the standard Focus, requiring just two turns lock-to-lock. Class-leading connected feel is supported by unique steering knuckle geometry, with a rod attachment point 9mm further forward and 6.5mm higher than the standard Focus for sharper responses. New Steering Torque Disturbance Reduction software for EPAS also helps reduce torque steer, making it even easier to deploy with precision the Focus ST’s power and torque. The new-generation Focus ST will arrive in Australian showrooms in Q1, 2020.

FORD EDGE ST 2019, THE BIGGEST ST OF THE EARTH ... FOR THE MOMENT!

More details to be tweaked as Ford ventures into the field of sport SUVs In case you do not know yet, the Ford manufacturer has decided to affix the ST badge on the Ford Edge at the end of 2018. The Ford Edge ST 2019 is the first utility to inherit this prestigious "badge" that had even crossed the Atlantic in the form of Fiesta and Focus ST over the last few years. But, things have changed at Ford for a little over a year. All that is called "car" disappears from the lineup with the exception of the sporty Mustang, and this, to the benefit of a range more utilitarian than ever. And to satisfy sports drivers, Ford has decided to turn its five-seater crossover into something a little more spicy for 2019. It remains to be seen if this big vehicle will succeed in making us forget the two small nerve cars that we enjoy so much in recent seasons.

FORD EDGE ST 2019, THE BIGGEST ST OF THE EARTH ... FOR THE MOMENT!

What's different about this Ford Edge ST? The manufacturer did not just put badges ST at both ends of the vehicle for this new model, fortunately indeed! First, the exterior design is a bit more aggressive, whether it's the front bumper, 21-inch rims (optional in this case, the original ones are 20 inches in size), or even the rear which stands out especially by these false trapezoidal exhaust pipes. Obviously, this Blue Performance body color draws attention, but be aware that the manufacturer offers less conspicuous choices. The ST echelon also comes with reworked shock absorbers, larger anti-roll bars, larger rear brake discs, performance brake pads, in addition to wider (21-inch) and lower profile tires. . FORD EDGE ST engine But that's not all, as the 2.7-liter Ecoboost twin-turbo V6 gains power and torque over last year's Sport Edition, with a total of 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft. optimal torque. Coupled with this 6-cylinder, the eight-speed automatic responds present, she who can shift gears faster when the Sport mode engaged. The latter is activated via the button located in the center of the wheel of the gearbox.

FORD EDGE ST 2019, THE BIGGEST ST OF THE EARTH ... FOR THE MOMENT!

FORD EDGE ST interior Like any sport model, the Ford Edge ST also comes with a revamped interior to satisfy the fans. The ST edition still remains sober, with a leather-wrapped steering wheel with an ST badge at its base, insertions alcantara suede seats at center of door sill FORD PERFORMANCE, not to mention the ST logo embossed to the front seats. At the wheel of a heavy vehicle A performance utility vehicle must give a little more in terms of handling, acceleration and even braking. With some modifications made by the performance wing, the Ford Edge ST is undoubtedly the most animated in the range, the mechanics that adds punch to acceleration, and this, even if the ST model displays a weight of 2,030 kg. This weight is one of the Achilles heels of this model. You have to work a little harder to tackle a sharp change. Even though, in these winter conditions, it is better to plan braking distances than to be in the set, if you know what I mean! The suspension is drier than in the regular liveries of the model, a detail that is obvious after only a few meters. I also attribute this feat of arms to low-profile tires installed on the utility, not to mention the state of this roads. On the highway, it's ok, but on a bumpy road, the Edge ST is a little too jumpy.

FORD EDGE ST 2019, THE BIGGEST ST OF THE EARTH ... FOR THE MOMENT!

When the Sport mode is engaged, the changes in the transmission are a little more abrupt. Do not believe, however, that the transmission works wonders like German double-clutch gearboxes. To arrive at an optimal speed change, it is necessary to cheat on the precise moment to change oneself the reports with the pallets mounted with the steering wheel, an operation which is not optimal, you will agree. Fortunately, the delay for downgrades is shorter. Sport mode has a direct effect on the musicality of the exhaust system which is more convincing when the engine is running at high speed. At highway speeds, however, the SUV becomes quiet again, as it should be. The Ford Edge ST which was lent to me for this winter test was afflicted by an unpleasant friction during braking. Toward the end of the test, however, I noticed that the vibration had eased somewhat. After verification, the technicians found nothing on the vehicle that was only 5000 km on the meter.

FORD EDGE ST 2019, THE BIGGEST ST OF THE EARTH ... FOR THE MOMENT!

Noticeable quality despite the badge

Ford products still suffer from a noticeable assembly quality. Some panels are less aligned and I must admit that some plastics in the cabin are of average quality. This is where we recognize the more modest origins of the crossover, despite the prestige of the ST crest.

I also had to deal with an electric tailgate that refused to close. To close it, I had to push it manually. After checking with the manufacturer, the latter was misaligned. It's not a major trouble, but for an SUV over $ 55,000, it's a little disappointing!

FORD EDGE ST 2019, THE BIGGEST ST OF THE EARTH ... FOR THE MOMENT!

The Word of the End Can the Ford Edge ST be recognized as an authentic SUV? The answer is yes, although there are more agile options on the market. Let's not forget that this is Ford's first foray into the sports SUV segment. It is possible to hope for a better result with the Explorer ST 2020 which leaves on a more modern platform and an even more powerful mechanics.

FORD EDGE ST 2019, THE BIGGEST ST OF THE EARTH ... FOR THE MOMENT!

The Ford Edge ST is not perfect: it is heavy to handle, the automatic transmission could be more dynamic and comfort could be improved somewhat, but when the right foot sinks into the floor and the V6 Ecoboost s' expresses loudly, we understand why there are ST badges at both ends of the vehicle. Despite the effort, the newcomer will not make me forget the two small ST bombs. By the way, I just started looking for a used Fiesta ST!

2020 Ford Focus Active Release Date, Specs, Price

New Post has been published on https://autoreviewsjr.com/2020-ford-focus-active-release-date-specs-price/

2020 Ford Focus Active Release Date, Specs, Price

2020 Ford Focus Active Release Date, Specs, Price – The 2020 Ford Focus Active is, in essence, a crossover measured edition of the after that-era Focus. It appears like the all-new Focus in a lot of methods. The model’s design cues are all current, which includes the new top grille and the new headlamps. The intakes are a bit even bigger, but that is typically a byproduct of possessing individuals new dark plastic material cladding during the body. The coating is one particular of the most noteworthy outside characteristics of the Focus Active. It is mostly there to offer the car that crossover seem. The all-new Ford Focus was exposed right now, but it’s decidedly less likely we’ll see all of the five provided models getting in the United States Of America. One particular, nevertheless, looks like a specific wager. That might be the new 2020 Ford Focus Active “crossover” that’ll feature an elevated revocation and a lot more durable style flourishes, which include black colour body cladding.

2020 Ford Focus Active Concept

There is a specific charm in getting a model that appears such as this. Subaru has been doing effectively by itself with similar types, such as the XV and the Outback. Ford may have comparable good results with the Focus Active. It bodes nicely for the model that it is the only edition of the Focus that is likely to be purchased in the U.S. But there is also a portion of the Focus Active that feels as though Ford’s promoting out the Focus. As productive as crossover size hatchbacks have already been, they will usually are afflicted by a personality situation, apparently caught involving two sectors. Assume it to sit down in the midsection of the range in phrases of a package. So it’s more likely to feature Ford’s Sync3 infotainment method, which usefully characteristics are mirroring for touchscreen phones as correctly as the selection for Apple inc CarPlay and Google Android Auto. There are USBs in the entrance and rear for the family’s products, as effectively as the ability to turn out to be a wi-fi hotspot for approximately ten links. In the terminology of protection set, it will likely be prepared to Euro NCAP common, to ensure signifies Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) is available as standard. But alternatives would include active Guided headlamps, adaptive cruise trip management, crash avoidance modern technology, and caution when you key in a motorway in the incorrect path.

Following The 2020 Ford Focus Active, it provides a 1.2-” revocation lift up, which leads to its elevated account. Additionally, it has plastic skid dishes at the top, and rear and interior toned parts that Ford claims make it a lot more “rugged” and “textured.” Stick them together, and you are likely to realise why the model is explained as one thing of one half-and-fifty per cent. It is a hatchback that has been brought up to check like a crossover. You could get the new Ford Focus in several various trims: the regular 1, the Active, the Vignale and Saint Range. The Active includes a body system that boosts the car’s defence against little pebbles and so on terrible roadways; the Vignale is high quality when Saint Range contains a sporty body set and a minimised suspensions.

2020 Ford Focus Active Engine Specs

Less than the car performs an entirely independent front side and rear revocation set-up installed with managed continuously damping technological innovation, a set up that screens suspensions, body activity as nicely as directing and braking inputs every single two milliseconds. Additionally, it spawns about three travelling settings: Typical, Sport and Eco. Requirements for our will likely be introduced at an in the future day but somewhere else Focus customers are considering a powertrain collection consisting of 1.0-liter turbocharged inline-3 and 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 fuel engines, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 diesel.
