Artist's impression of the upcoming Ford EV That’s maybe too strong of a statement - the two cars will share the MEB ( soon to be MEB+) platform and will be competitors in the same way the Skoda Enyaq competes with its siblings from VW. We can fully appreciate the size of the upcoming EV and the general shape of it - we are certainly looking at a smaller Ford Explorer with familiar angles and stance.įord wants its new EV to compete with the likes of Nissan Ariya and Toyota bZ4X but the company executives avoided mentioning VW ID 4 - that’s because essentially, the new Ford will be a dressed-up ID 4. The refit is scheduled to be completed in March which is exactly when the production crossover will be unveiled with production to begin in July that year.Īlthough only a small part of the car was shown in the photo, we can realize there is a brand new light signature, not too-different from the one on Ford F-150 Lightning. It all falls into place now - Fiesta is bowing out after decades of service and the factory where it was made is undergoing a multi-million refit to be able to produce the next generation electric cars. He confirmed as well that the unveiling is just around the corner and that the car will be manufactured in Cologne, Germany. Until now, Ford kept its first all-electric crossover away from prying eyes but Sander couldn’t help himself and posted a photo of himself next to the car, on Twitter. The company is completely refreshing its European portfolio with EVs taking over from its gasoline and diesel powered predecessors. General Manager of Ford Europe, Martin Sander, just teased the upcoming electric crossover that is planned to replace the outgoing Fiesta early next year.
