The headlights and front grille were completely redesigned, getting rid of the turn signals inside the grille. There are a number of exterior changes that make it easy to tell a 2005 or later Focus from the previous generation. All 2005-2007 models use front brake rotors that are larger in width than previous models, addressing common overheating and warping issues. The suspension on the 2005 Focus was unchanged from 2000-2004 models, but the front struts were redesigned for 2006, and remained unchanged for 2007. All models came standard with a 2.0L Duratec engine, with a PZEV engine for states that required it. The 2.0L Zetec engine from 2000-2004 was completely removed from the lineup, and the 2.3L Duratec engine was available only in ST models. The ST trim, which replaced the 2002-2004 SVT as the performance Focus, was only available for the ZX4. The car came as a 3 or 5-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, and also a wagon model (ZX3, ZX5, ZX4, and ZXW, respectively). It featured a new set of trim levels: S, SE, SES, and the performance-oriented ST. 2005 marked the first cosmetic change to the Ford Focus since its introduction for the 2000 model year.
