In the house of Fordthere is news great upheavals. The historical manufacturer here, the American one, which still enjoys good visibility, still stood out in recent years with its expanded range. City cars, compact cars, sedans, minivans, utility vehicles. It had one of the widest model offerings, sometimes still resisting certain categories that the French avoided. We’re thinking in particular of minivans, with the S-Max and Galaxy continuing to hold firm despite the allure of SUVs. But if we speak in the past tense, then the brand began a large-scale cleaning these last months. The Mondeo sedan is gone from the catalog city ​​car Ka also, and two minivans will bow next year. Worse, on the Ford France website, Fiesta is no more. The “Citadina” section is now occupied only by Ekosport. Height… Its completion was precisely announced for June 2023but the current crises has accelerated it prematurely.

More SUVs, more electric

What is left in the assortment? Let’s not gossip because this one is still full and there are many novelties. but SUVs are gradually replacing all traditional categories. Ecosport, Puma, Kuga, Explorer. Not forgetting about 100% electric Mustang Mach-E. To find something else, it remains its own Focus (which will be removed in 2025), two minivans (on suspension) and utilities. After that, you will have to look up your budget and choose mustang…

The person responsible for all this evil, as you can imagine, is electric. The Dearborn firm announced aim for 100% electric range in Europe by 2030. This explains the gradual disappearance of historical models, for it is better to prepare for the appearance of new products – especially SUVs – electric. Not everything is so gloomy, but until then, 2023 will have the right to some novelties…

One restyling, three new models

One restyling, three new models

Firstly, Kuga restyling will take place in the spring. A compact SUV will see its own headlights and an updated radiator grilleand will undoubtedly benefit from a equipment upgrade (or maybe engines?). Then comes a a large electric SUV at the end of the year, which will restore the segment left by the Mondeo. It may be derived from Ford Evosintroduced in 2021 and destined for China.

In a completely different register the new Ford Mustang will arrive in Europe later this year. Ford has already announced this, this the last purely thermal Mustang (not necessarily in 300-horsepower 4-cylinder or 500-horsepower V8). Finally, this Ford Bronco who will make his grand arrival. truth 4X4 crossing hard and fast, it’s Ford’s answer to the mythical Jeep Wrangler. At least it’s not an SUV and it’s not electric, and that’s good news…
