If this figure is correct, it represents a $5,000 increase over the base price of the 2017 Focus RS, which starts at $36,995, after $875 for destination. The cost increase might seem significant at first glance, but remember that the 2018 Focus RS is a limited edition model with extra equipment for the new model year.
The 2018 Focus RS comes standard with the RS2 package, which is an option for $2,785 on the current model. It includes heated, leather-trimmed Recaro seats with eight-way power adjustment for the driver, heated exterior mirrors, a heated three-spoke steering wheel, and voice-activated navigation system. There’s also now carbon-fiber trim for the door handles, handbrake lever, and the bezel around the boost gauge.
