The new crossover will be the first Ford to use the Volkswagen Group’s MEB EV platform, as part of a long-term strategic partnership between the two firms that will also result in Ford building commercial vehicles for the German brand. The tie-up between the two car makers will bear fruit in 2023. Arriving in line with the ambition of a whole electrification in Europe by 2030.
“Ford is the only American brand in Europe now and that’s a unique position that we can build on. A lot of people are attracted to some of those characteristics and only Ford can bring products like that to the market” reported Stuart Rowly, boss of Ford Europe
Notably, that car features a 1.1-metre, 4K infotainment display across the top of its dashboard. From 2023, all Ford vehicles will be fitted with an Android-based infotainment system. In terms of powertrains, the new Ford is set to follow the ID 4 in offering both rear- and four-wheel-drive formats, with power output ranging from 146bhp to 201bhp in the standard model. The line-up could then be topped by a 295bhp sports model, possibly badged GT. A 52kWh lithium ion battery will provide around 340 km of range as standard and offer charging rates of up to 100kW, while the optional 77kWh battery will extend the range to more than 480km and raise charging capacity to 125kW.
