Best new Fords coming soon

Ford has been having a tough time in Europe lately, but now it’s ready to fight back and has laid out a plan of attack, which it calls ‘Ready Set Ford’. Slightly cheesy name aside, the strategy will see the brand launch five new “rally-bred” models developed specifically for Europe. It’s also going to focus on some of its most iconic nameplates, which will see the Ford Fiesta make a triumphant return worthy of Hollywood or scripture. 

Ford Bronco for Europe

The Ford Bronco is finally coming to the UK! Well, not the one sold in the USA or its smaller, less off-road-focused sibling, the Bronco Sport. Instead, we’re getting a new Bronco-inspired family SUV that’s been designed and developed right here in Europe. It’s due to arrive in 2028, will feature hybrid power and supposedly will be large enough to carry five passengers plus their luggage over rough terrain. 

Ford Fathom

The new Ford Fathom is being heralded as potentially the most revolutionary car the company has made since the Model T, because this electric pick-up truck represents a more efficient, cost-effective way of building cars. Everything from the manufacturing process to its electrical systems and batteries will be brand new, and designed from the ground up, while the proposed starting price in the US is just $28,350 (the equivalent of £21,000). It’ll arrive in 2027 and is definitely going to be one to keep an eye on.

Ford Fiesta

Ford without the Fiesta is like having gin without tonic: it’s just weird. Thankfully, Britain’s beloved, best-selling supermini will return in 2028 and, the company says, combine a “distinct design with Ford’s signature driving dynamics – injecting ‘race-to-road’ capabilities into the B-segment”. Our exclusive image shows you what that might look like. 

The Blue Oval says the new rally-bred models it’s developing for Europe, including the next Fiesta, will be “built to handle the unique challenges of Europe’s alpine passes, cobblestoned streets, and winding roads”. If that doesn’t sound like enough fun, Auto Express has confirmed there’s going to be a hot ST version. 

The new Ford Fiesta will be based on the same electric-car platform that underpins the brilliant Renault 5 and Alpine A290, which means it will be EV-only. Unlike the Nissan Micra though, which is a lightly restyled and renosed version of the R5, the reborn Fiesta will be designed by Ford and have a unique body, plus its engineers will be tuning the chassis so hopefully it’s as fun and engaging as a proper Ford. Time will tell. 

Ford Focus

The Ford Focus may be about to make a comeback as well, but not as an EV like the Fiesta. Instead, we believe the humble yet fun-to-drive family hatchback is going to be reinvented as a hybrid-powered C-segment SUV. In other words, it’ll be a rival to the best-selling Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen T-Roc. Whatever it’s called, Ford says the new crossover has been inspired by its ‘motorsport’ heritage and it will be followed by a larger SUV that will, in effect, replace the current Ford Kuga. 

Ford Mustang Mach-4 

Rumours have been swirling for some time about potential plans for a four-door version of the iconic Ford Mustang, but it finally looks like a more practical version of the pony car is happening and could be here before the end of the decade. However, it’s not going to be electric, and in fact it could feature a hybrid V8 powertrain. Whatever the case, apparently the Mustang ‘Mach 4’ will do 0-60mph in less than four seconds and cost under $40,000. That’s about £30k at the current exchange rate.
