Ford Ranger's entry-level engines appear safe in Australia
Ford Australia says it has "no news" on changes to the Ranger lineup after the entry-level turbo-diesel was dropped from Ford showrooms in the United Kingdom (UK). The 2.0-litre 'Panther' turbo-diesel four-cylinder was first fitted to the Australian Ranger in 2020 as a replacement for the previous 2.2-litre 'Puma' turbo-diesel, which was finally dropped when the new-generation Ranger was launched in 2022. Ford UK announced earlier this month the automaker would be dropping the newer 2.0-litre engine – where it's fitted in the Ranger and a lower-output Ranger Raptor not sold here – from early 2026. It's the same year the engine – which emits 199g/km of carbon dioxide according to Ford Australia – will not meet the new target of 180g/km under the newly introduced New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) in Australia.

Yet the local arm of the car giant couldn't confirm – or deny – whether the engine will be offered in Australia next year, with penalties for exceeding NVES emissions due to be enforced from July 1, 2025. "To align with future EU [European Union] emissions regulations, Ford of Europe is introducing a number of changes to its Ranger and Ranger Raptor product lineups," a statement provided by Ford Australia to CarExpert said. "There is no news to share about changes to the Australian lineup." As confirmed by Ford Australia's comment, Ford UK's decision was based on reducing the automakers average fleet emissions there, after regulations were introduced in the UK in 2024 with hefty fines of £15,000 ($31,510) per vehicle exceeding the limits. The Ranger will continue to be offered in the UK and Europe with the 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 and the new plug-in hybrid petrol four. The 2.0-litre turbo-diesel's UK axing comes as the Ford Ranger PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) was launched in Great Britain and Australia, potentially lowering the automaker's average emissions considerably. In both countries, the Ranger PHEV 4×4 uses a 2.3-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder engine and electric motor/lithium-ion battery combination, sourced from the same South Africa factory. All other versions of the Ranger sold in Australia are made in Thailand, in contrast with the UK and Europe where Ford sells only South African-built Rangers. The Ranger PHEV has a carbon dioxide rating of 66g/km in Australian spec, compared to the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel's 199g/km rating in base XL cab chassis models to a high of 211g/km in Ranger XL 4×4 double-cab pickup. Across the Ranger's local lineup, the more powerful 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo – effectively the same engine with an additional turbocharger – is rated at 189g/km, with the 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 at 222g/km and the Ranger Raptor's 3.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 at 262g/km. For the Ranger, all model grades must meet 210g/kg in 2025, but by 2029 that lowers to 110g/km – again, with the Ranger PHEV easily within future limits. The Ranger Super Duty, due in Australia in early 2026, uses a detuned version of the 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 to meet Euro 6 emissions regulations, making it the only Ranger needing AdBlue. The European Union emissions laws were recently amended and permit the sale of hybrid vehicles until 2035, when it will ban the sale of all internal combustion engine cars (technically, any vehicle that emits carbon dioxide). The Ranger PHEV's lower carbon dioxide figure also means it already meets the toughest targets under the NVES which gradually tightens emissions targets annually. At the launch of Ranger PHEV, Ford told CarExpert the introduction of the plug-in hybrid version was not a 'compliance play' designed to meet stricter emissions standards. The 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine axed in the UK is also fitted in the local Ford Transit Custom and Transit. The Transit is already offered here with an available electric powertrain, while the Transit Custom is gaining both electric and plug-in hybrid powertrains.

'Can't Unsee It:' Why Are Drivers Flipping Their Ford Logos Around?
A Ford owner is going viral on TikTok after showing how the logo, flipped around, reads, 'Brat.' Why is this the latest online phenomenon? TikTok user Hailey LaRae (@haileylarae) posted a video of the tailgate of her Ford truck on Tuesday. The video shows her tailgate with the reversed logo to the tune of Charlie XCX's '365.' "To whoever said if you flip Ford's logo around it says brat, thank you. I cannot unsee it," the on-screen text reads. Why Does It Matter? In the caption, LaRae adds the following hashtags: "#ford #bratsummer #brat." This is clearly a reference to the 'Brat Summer' sparked by U.K. pop star Charlie XCX's 'Brat' album in 2024. The album's vibrant green cover art, accompanied by its unvarnished take on the concerns of the modern party girl, made it one of the biggest records (and memes) of the year. Commenters Were All In on the 'Bratmobile' In the comments, Ford UK weighed in, 'Bratmobile owners assemble.' "I like that the T is uppercase so it accentuates it," observed another user. In the true spirit of Brat, some users took the opportunity to settle personal scores with Ford and beyond. "Ford is very brat (derogatory)," wrote one user. "Ah, this explains why my ex drove a Ford," joked a second. TikTokers Aren't the Only Netizens Who Noticed The r/CharlieXCX community on Reddit addressed this a few weeks ago in a thread tagged 'Braturday.' "F150, when you're in the mirror you're just looking at me," wrote one user, invoking the lyrics of "360." A second user referenced an older Charli XCX material. 'VROOM VROOM,' they wrote. "I drive a Ford F150 and love Brat. And Charli. Uhmmm, I'm putting this on a Brat green tank top," wrote a third user. Someone else said, 'Alert the press.' Duly noted. A Little Look at the History of These Iconic Symbols The Ford logo of today debuted in 2003 and has since become one of the most recognizable symbols in the auto industry. It is based in part on Henry Ford's actual signature. Charli XCX explained in an Apple Music interview that she chose the minimalist cover color scheme as a budget-saving measure. It was also a way to reinforce a central tenet of the Brat ethos: to resist societal expectations. Motor1 reached out to LaRae via TikTok and to Ford via email for comment.

Beloved Ford hot hatch officially goes off sale in the UK after 23 years and four generations as orders dry up
FORD has confirmed that one of their most popular cars has officially gone off the market in the UK. The American car giant announced that its factories will no longer produce the Focus ST due to a lack of demand. 2 The Focus ST was first launched 23 years ago, but has since disappeared from dealer price lists. But for those wanting to get their hands on some of the last remaining cars, the US firm said that 170 are still unsold in the UK. Stock is still available to buy in dealerships, but customers will not be able to order new models. Speaking to Autocar, Ford UK said: 'There are no new factory orders available for the Focus ST at the moment. "But there are around 170 built and unsold currently available within the UK dealer network. "This includes 30 of the special ST Edition variant in Azura Blue.' Ford introduced Focus ST to the world in 2002, with the initial ST170 version. It was powered by a 2.0 litre engine, reaching 60mph in just under eight seconds. In 2005, Ford introduced the second generation - the ST500 - with a meatier 2.5 litre engine. Ford Escort van becomes the fastest front wheel drive Ford on the planet Developed alongside Volvo and Mazda, it was powered by a Volvo five-cylinder engine, allowing it to hit 60mph in 6.8 seconds. But the US manufacturer ditched Volvo in 2010 and introduced the Focus St Mk3 with its own engine. It introduced a more powerful four-cylinder turbo and lowered the suspension - putting the 0-60mph time at 6.5 seconds. And finally the Mk4, featuring a slightly larger 2.3 litre engine, which was the first version to offer automatic transmission. It remains the fastest iteration of the Focus ST, reaching 60mph in 5.7 seconds. Ford could well be responding to industry trends, with hot hatch cars generally being phased out across the board. Other big manufacturers, including Hyundai, Peugeot and Toyota have started pulling cars off the market as a result of the low interest. It comes as the Ford Focus is set to be phased out completely, with its production life cycle terminating in November this year. The move was first announced in 2022, but Ford's European chief Martin Sander doubled down on the decision in March. He added: "In the long run, we are still deeply convinced that EVs will be the future and we will see a significant increase in volume. "By the end of this year, we will have a full range of electric vehicles and we are quite flexible to adapt to market demand. "For the next couple of years, we have a broad choice. "Basically, our customers have the power of choice to pick what they want." The Ford Focus was first rolled out in 1998, off the back of their Escort model. It was one of the last hatchbacks with a manual gearbox. However, Ford is now putting more efforts into their Mustangs and Broncos to boost profits. This comes after Ford sales in Europe fell 17 per cent in 2024, the first full year without the Fiesta which was axed in July 2023.

The Ford Focus ST Reaches the End of the Line
Ford announced earlier this year that it was ending Focus production in Europe this November. That includes the coveted Focus ST, one of the last hot hatchbacks sold with a manual transmission, but your opportunity to order one is dwindling. Ford has filled the order books for ST production in the United Kingdom. Ford UK told Autocar , "There are no new factory orders available for the Focus ST at the moment." That comment suggests the automaker could reopen the order books before production officially wraps six months from now, but there's no way to prevent the inevitable. The Focus and the Focus ST are dead by the end of the year, and the company has no direct successor ready to take its place. The inability to order a new Focus ST in the UK won't prevent you from buying one. The automaker also told the publication that there were around 170 STs unsold in the dealer network. Motor1 reached out to Ford to see if the Focus ST is still available to order elsewhere in Europe. We'll update this story if we hear back. Ford has been killing off its sedans and hatches for the last few years. Mondeo production, which was the Fusion in the US, ended in 2022, two years after Ford pulled the model from American showrooms. The Fiesta died in 2023, and now it's the Focus's time to exit the brand's portfolio, including the fun and enjoyable Focus ST.

After 23 years and four generations, the Ford Focus ST is being retired
Hot hatch is removed from Ford's UK price list before Focus production comes to an end in November Around 170 new Focus STs remain in UK dealers, some 30 of which are the Edition model pictured Close The Ford Focus ST has been taken off sale in the UK ahead of production of the hot hatchback ending in November. The Focus ST had been open for orders as recently as April but disappeared from dealer price lists in an update issued on 26 May, despite remaining on Ford's online configurator. It means the Focus can now be had only with the turbocharged and mild-hybridised 1.0-litre three-cylinder Ecoboost engine, with outputs of 123bhp or 153bhp. Trim choices are limited to Active X Edition, ST-Line and ST-Line X Edition. All are set to go in the coming months as Ford winds down Focus production. The company has courted buyers for the plant in Saarlouis, Germany that has housed assembly of every Focus but has yet to find a buyer. Ford has committed to keeping the plant open with 1000 workers (down from a previous 4600) until 2032 if no sale can be made. Ford UK told Autocar: 'There are no new factory orders available for the Focus ST at the moment, but there are around 170 built and unsold currently available within the UK dealer network. This includes 30 of the special ST Edition variant in Azura Blue.' Asked for clarification on whether that wording means Focus ST orders could be taken again before the end of production, Ford suggested that the situation could change but nothing was confirmed. This leaves the door open to the order book reopening if there is a sudden influx of demand, or for a special edition sending the hot hatch into retirement. The disappearance of the Focus ST is representative of a wider market trend, with the traditional mass-market hot hatch having all but died out in recent years. The business case for such cars has been sullied by the shift to more profitable (and ultimately less dynamic) SUVs, as well as tightening fleet emissions regulations that have pushed manufacturers towards EVs and low-emission hybrids. Hyundai pulled its i30 N and smaller i20 N from Europe last year, the Peugeot 308 GTi didn't survive more than a single generation and Toyota has yet to launch the GR Corolla in the UK. Of the hot hatches that live on, many have either spiked in price – the Volkswagen Golf GTI now starts north of £40,000 – or remain strictly limited in number, as is the case for the Honda Civic Type R and Toyota GR Yaris. Indeed, Ford recently turned down the temperature on the Focus ST's smaller sibling, the Puma ST. Its 197bhp 1.5-litre powerplant and manual gearbox were discontinued, leaving only an uprated version of the regular Puma's mild-hybrid 1.0-litre powerplant with 158bhp and an automatic gearbox. This is the only ST model to survive the cull of the past few years. This doesn't spell the end for fast Fords, though: design director Amko Leenarts last year told Autocar that there was 'definitely' a future for the brand's performance cars, referencing the popularity of Formula 1, the Dakar and the World Rally Championship, among others. 'If we're not doing that, we are making the wrong investments,' he said. 'So it's got to transition to our normal car lines globally.'
