Aug. 31 (UPI) -- The made-in-China Ford Focus Active crossover vehicle will not be sold in the United States because of tariff issues, the Ford Motor Co. said Friday.
The vehicle, a Ford Focus with higher ground clearance and several other features, was expected to arrive in the United States from China by late 2019. Fewer than 50,000 were planned to be sold. Tariffs imposed on Chinese imports by the Trump administration, and tariffs expected on imported vehicles, would have reduced profit margins to the point that building and imparting car was not financially feasible, Ford said.
