Fitment nuance per vehicle
Ford Focus
The Active trim sits ~30 mm higher with plastic wheel-arch cladding and a slightly different roof profile, so roof-bar leg lengths differ from Titanium/ST-Line - check the fitting guide for Focus Active specifically. All hatch trims share the same boot mouth, but ST-Line seats have integrated bolsters that trap universal seat covers with elastic side hooks.
Mercedes-Benz A-Class
The A 250 e plug-in loses ~60 L of boot space to its battery, and the loading floor sits ~40 mm higher - subwoofer enclosures sized to the pure-petrol hatch will foul the parcel shelf on the PHEV. The touch-sensitive steering-wheel controls on pre-facelift cars are extremely easy to trigger accidentally by universal wheel covers with raised stitching; the 2023 facelift moved to conventional physical buttons.
