Highlights include:

• Starting price of $29,945
• Universal EV platform

Built on a New EV Platform

The new platform allows the vehicle to be assembled in separate front, center and rear sections before final integration, improving manufacturing efficiency while supporting future SUVs and commercial vehicles based on the same architecture.

Production is expected to take place at Ford’s Louisville Assembly Plant beginning in 2027.

Ford’s Universal EV platform is designed to reduce costs and support multiple future models.
