NEW Ford Explorer: Bye bye Focus And Fiesta, This Is The Future Of Ford, Top Gear
Ford wants you to rethink what that Blue Oval badge means, in Europe at least. No more small hatchbacks like the Fiesta and the Focus. The plan is to build fewer cars, sell them at bigger profits, and double down on what Ford thinks sets it apart. Chiefly, being American. So future Fords will look more landofthefree, and theyll be themed more around adventurous outdoorsyness than schoolrun buses. This brings us to an allnew Ford family hatchback: the Explorer. Its a mediumsized allelectric crossover with five seats, a big square boot, and a chunkybutfriendly look about it. Itll go on sale later this year with prices starting at less than 40, 000, which slots it neatly between the current hybrid Kuga and the allelectric Mustang MachE. So, the question is whether Fords bold new unashamedly Americanlooking strategy will pay off everywhere else. Top Gear Magazines Senior Road Test Editor, Ollie Kew, takes a closer look.
