Hmm will the FFE also get the heated steering wheel (to compete with the Leaf).An all-new heated steering wheel will be available as well as 10 different wheels as factory options.
Finally! AppLink works. I believe that we will also get AppLink with a MFT update this year.Enhanced SYNC AppLink
Focus drivers will have access to powerful new capabilities thanks to a host of functions developers can integrate as they modify their apps to communicate with enhanced SYNC® AppLink™.
Android and iOS smartphone users can download more than 60 AppLink-enabled apps from the Apple App Store and Android market.
No real info there just that a new one is coming out: It could just be the same FFE with slightly different sheetmetal (with a heated steering wheel LOL).The debut of the new Focus four-door sedan and the Focus Electric in New York follows the Geneva Motor Show debut in March of the Focus three- and five-door hatchback and wagon. A new version of the performance Focus ST will be shown later this year.
The photos do not show exactly the 2014 sheet metal or trim. If you look carefully, the rear hatch and fenders have a new "swoop" that runs horizontally below the lights and plate. Also, the brake lights are slightly smaller and have a different lens pattern, and the rear bumper reflectors are different.unplugged said:Actually, I believe that the Ford Focus Electric shown in the photos is a 2014, not the new 2015. I believe this based on the obvious fact that the sheet metal on the FFE shown is the same as the 2014.

Because Ford has been dropping hints all year that app link will be available on an additional 3 million vehicles this year. The only way that can be possible is for MFT to have app link working.trmacdonal said:I don't know if you should get your hopes up. Unless this announcement was specific to the FFE, the ICE focus without MyFord Touch already has AppLink. What makes you think that AppLink is going to work on MFT? I hope you're right, but I'm not that optimistic.
Unfortunately, it appears that the FFE has very little changed from last year. No fast charge. No change to range. What I don't understand is why the FFE at the auto show has the old 2014 dash and steering wheel. You can see clearly the old wheel and dash in the auto show photo. What's up with this?WattsUp said:I do agree that the front seems unchanged. (We assumed it would be, but perhaps we were wrong?)
