Ford Could Be Preparing To Fill A Focus-Sized Hole In Their Lineup

  • Ford will reportedly launch a new Focus-sized crossover in 2027.
  • The model could be offered with hybrid and electric powertrains.
  • It’s expected to be sold alongside the Kuga and share components.

Sedans and hatchbacks have fallen out of favor with consumers, who have embraced SUVs. Automakers have responded by gutting their car lineups and adding an assortment of new crossovers.

Ford will reportedly add another crossover to their lineup in 2027 and it could fill the hole being left by the departing Focus. The model will reportedly be built in Spain and serve a key role in reestablishing Ford in Europe.

Autocar reports the model will be a mid-sized crossover, but won’t replace the Kuga. This is interesting to note as the Kuga’s American cousin, the Escape, is getting the axe.

Instead, the crossover will reportedly be built alongside the Kuga and offered with hybrid and electric powertrains. The two models are also rumored to share key components in a bid to keep costs down.

While specifics are few and far between, the model could ride on the aging C2 platform, which underpins everything from the Bronco Sport and Maverick to the outgoing Focus. The model is also expected to be relatively affordable and positioned as a rival to the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, and Volkswagen Tiguan.

While it’s probably too early to talk numbers, there’s a huge gap between the Β£26,245 ($33,600) that the Puma Gen-E costs in Britain and the Β£39,285 ($50,300) Explorer EV. This means that if the upcoming EV variant was priced at Β£32,765 ($42,000), it would be perfectly positioned between both those models.

Little else is known about the crossover at this point, but the company will reportedly put an emphasis on design and driving dynamics. Unfortunately, the chances of it coming stateside seem slim to none.
