Ford has rejigged its electric vehicle (EV) strategy as it moves to prioritise hybrid technology for its larger models.

Ford is scrambling to put up a fight against the onslaught of Chinese electric vehicles, but rather than beat them, this very old carmaker should really be joining them.

Ford has all but signed, sealed and delivered a new type of Bronco for Australia. According to our sources, the Toyota RAV4 mid-sized SUV rival is set to arrive late next year as the belated 2027 replacement for the unsuccessful Escape that was dropped in 2023. Despite looking very similar, note that this is not related to either the monocoque-bodied Bronco Sport SUV, or the much-beefier Bronco 4WD off-roader that’s built on the T6 Ranger platform. Launched in 2021, both are very popular North America-focused models not earmarked for our market.

Ford CEO Jim Farley has gone on the record with his support for development of a new rear-wheel drive Ford sedan.

Ford has been hit with another recall notice, this time on some of its most popular variants.

The intention would be for the N400-series one-tonne ute unveiled in North America back in 2023 to eventually sit above the newly-restyled HiLux in this country, as a larger, premium proposition.
