What is the average wait time for a new Ford Focus?

I have just ordered a new Ford Focus Active Auto 155PS Vignale. The dealer has told me to expect delivery for September. This seems a rather long time to me, is he correct ?

The new car market is still experiencing delays, primarily due to the global semiconductor chip shortage. The average wait time for a Ford Focus is generally around four to five months at present. However, there are some slightly longer lead times depending on the series.
