Apparently a company in Ukrainian supply the 13 inch screen in the MK4.5 focus

I recall reading a European article in the past week where they indicated the initial facelift models will come with the older smaller screen due to this supply issue. It didn't really say if it was a local (Europe) market decision or not.

And these it is.... fml – I guess, not getting a big screen is nothing in comparison to what Ukraine is going through, but I guess We'll have to see the impact this has on Australian orders, although, I dont think i'd be happy with a Sync 3 Screen and the loss of features and speed. |

Fingers crossed maybe FORD Australia will sell the ST’s with the 8” inch screen at a reduced MSRP and reserve the 13” for the ST-X

A Ford dealer in the UK is asking $7000 pounds more above retail for the one that they have in stock (with the 13” screen)

Will they put the hvac controls in an 8" screen? Its gonna be very cluttered. Im actually happy to wait for a 13" sync 4, if it becomes a my23 then thats fine? I just dont want to cancel cuz other then an i30( which i dont want) theres not much out there |

There are still some new/almost new MY21.75 auto models in dealers if that looks like a better option. Really happy with my MY21.75.

Well bugger, looks like we as a market get the scraps, with a possibility of not getting the larger screen until 2023. Be interesting to see if the price comes down on the ST

I dont have enough understanding on how ford manufacturing works, do they priorities other markets over Australia? Id assume at a market level they would at least priorities customer sold cars over dealer stock. |

These problems aren’t expected to be rectified for at least six months and possibly through 2023. I am waiting for confirmation from my dealer so I can look at other options and I really hope they can source the screen from a different supplier and have them in showrooms in three months but I can’t see that happening

I've just placed an order for a MY22.5 Focus ST-X, Agate Black.
I believe a smaller screen was not viable. Production should commence in September and, if that holds, delivery should be around Dec/Jan.

I also heard a rumor that Focus is dead in Australia.
If you haven't got a car on order you wont get one.... It was only a matter of time, Fiesta will have the same fate no doubt.

What I was getting at was sooner then 2025 for Aus. I believe the next batch this year will be the end for us?

Not taking anything away from the new model but I'm glad I grabbed my MY21.75 otherwise I think I would have been going insane waiting. :-)
