One of those platforms is Volkswagen&#8217;s MEB, which underpins the ID.3, ID.4, and others, and it is set to spawn a crossover for the Blue Oval. It will be one of seven upcoming EVs for the American brand, as we already know that number from a previous announcement made last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to note that the Ford-VW tie-up will involve three passenger cars and four commercial vehicles. In other words, the prototype that is featured in these fresh spy photos is supposed to be one of the three passenger cars that the Blue Oval will build based on a Volkswagen Group platform.<\/p><div class=\"autoestrada-nel-contenuto autoestrada-entity-placement\" id=\"autoestrada-1664389458\" style=\"position: relative;padding: 30px;border: 2px solid red;margin: 25px auto 35px;text-align: center;width: fit-content;\"><div class=\"autoestrada-adlabel\">Advertising<\/div><div id=\"autoestrada-1477964605\"><a href=\"https:\/\/get.1li.ch\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"1LI_AES_10_Promo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" class=\"no-lazyload\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From what we already know from previous statements, it should be an EV that is smaller than the Mustang Mach-E, yet bigger than the Puma. In other words, this should be something similar to a Volkswagen ID.4, and it looks like it fits the bill from that perspective, at least from what we can distinguish from the photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the first public sighting of the prototype out in the open, it is camouflaged to mark the occasion, and this barely covers the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Begin https:\/\/cct.connects.ch\/-Code --><a href=\"https:\/\/cct.connects.ch\/tc.php?t=120401C1725149753B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cct.connects.ch\/tb.php?t=120401V1725149753B\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" =0><\/a><iframe src=\"https:\/\/cct.connects.ch\/tpv.php?t=120401V1725149753B\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><!-- End https:\/\/cct.connects.ch\/-Code -->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We still do not know what Ford intends to name the new crossover, but we do know that it is an all-electric model and that it will have a size that is close to the Volkswagen ID.4. For now, it is referred to as the &#8220;medium-sized crossover,&#8221; and it is set to be followed by a \u201csport crossover\u201d that will share Volkswagen&#8217;s MEB platform. There is a chance that this is the sport crossover prototype, and not the medium-sized one, but the Blue Oval will not clear that up for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a styling perspective, it will have a boxy shape, slim LED headlights, an angular tailgate, and what looks like an inspiration from the Explorer\u00a0on an ID.4 body, but only as far as styling cues go. The interior is allegedly set to be exclusive to Ford, as well, while Volkswagen will keep its touch controls for itself on the ID.4 and its siblings within the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"45034\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-001.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-001-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"45046\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-003.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-003-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"45042\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-006.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-006.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-006-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"45038\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-010.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-010.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Ford-Medium-Size-Crossover-EV-010-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AUTOMEDIA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ford and Volkswagen have an ongoing deal that will involve sharing platforms and making cars in the same factories.
