Although Ford has not yet announced a facelift for the Focus, compared with the hot five-door, the four-door model will only sell 1,675 units in the first 11 months of 2022, far behind the Toyota Altis’s 15,364 and the Nissan Sentra’s 5,128.

After the decline of large RVs, even the domestically produced medium-sized RVs of the hardcore are not as good as before. In the past few years, many cars have been discontinued, including Mazda 3, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Luxgen S5, etc. For import, some are directly discontinued and no longer imported.

Even for the most glorious Toyota Altis in the past, the sales volume in the past two years has not been as good as before. It had already given up the annual sales champion to its own RAV4 and Corolla Cross the year before last, and relegated to the third place.

If it is determined that the Focus four-door will no longer be produced and sold, then there will be only three domestically produced mid-size RVs in Taiwan: Toyota Altis, Nissan Sentra, and Mitsubishi Lancer. Although there are still three options, Lancer does not have a 2023 model, which is also obvious Will no longer continue to invest in the idea of domestic RV.
