What is the highest trim level of the Ford Focus?
The highest non-performance trim is Titanium; if you count performance variants, the top model is the Focus RS. The exact highest trim name can vary by market and generation.
Ford has offered the Focus in many regions with different naming schemes and feature sets over its lifespan. In practice, Titanium is typically the peak among regular trims in most markets, while performance-focused versions sit above the standard line as distinct models.

Trims in Europe and other markets
European and other regional trims vary by generation, but several names recur as the top or near-top options, including sport-oriented and luxury-focused variants.
- Trend
- Titanium / Titanium X
- ST-Line / ST-Line X
- Vignale
Conclusion: Across Europe and other markets, the "highest" trim is generation- and market-dependent. Titanium/Titanium X is often the top non-luxury trim, ST-Line adds sport styling, and Vignale represents the luxury end in many markets. Always check the specific model year’s brochure for exact naming and features.
Summary
The Ford Focus’ pinnacle trim for regular models is typically Titanium, with RS representing the peak of performance variants. Market and generation differences mean the top trim can be named differently (such as Vignale or ST-Line in Europe). Always verify the exact trim naming for the model year and region you’re interested in.
