Ford's first VW-based EV to be US-flavoured crossover

摘要

Junior sibling to the Mach-E will combine ID 4 tech with US-led looks for 2022 debut. The landmark car-making tie-up between Ford and Volkswagen will begin to bear fruit in 2023, when the US manufacturer kick-starts its bold European EV offensive with a locally produced and regionally focused crossover to sit beneath the Mustang Mach-E. Arriving in line with the Blue Oval's ambition to fully electrify its European range by 2030, the crossover will be the first EV built at Ford's $1 billion(￡708m) Electrification Centre in Cologne, Germany. It is set to be produced initially alongside the Fiesta supermini, which is scheduled to end its current life cycle in 2024 or 2025.
