This is probably going to sound stupid but I read of someone saying focus xr5 is it the Australian version or is it different to our St version I have pre facelift

Thanks

ST225 was imported here to Aus and renamed Focus XR5 to better fit with local Ford model naming (XR4, XR5 Turbo, XR6, XR6 Turbo, XR8). In Aus a basic Nissan is an ST, I think it means standard, lol.
The current Ecoboost ST has not been re-named here. Easier to just leave the name I guess. The Fiesta ST170 was called an XR4 here. Might have gotten confusing between Focus and Fiesta to continue with that branding.
The 5 cylinder turbo Mondeo was also known as Mondeo XR5.
