Ford has revealed the all-new 2020 Explorer and is set to make its debut at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show. The new Explorer will be bigger and lighter than the current generation and will be based on a rear-wheel-drive platform.
Ford made headlines a few months ago when they announced that they’ll stop selling sedans and hatchbacks in the United States due to high costs and low profit margins compared to crossovers and SUVs. The Mustang will survive there too, but everything from the Fiesta to the Taurus will get the axe in a couple of years. It is entirely possible that the same strategy will be followed in the Middle East, as the car line-up doesn’t get much attention any more, and the next-generation Focus will not be launched here (which we drove and liked). Word is that twin-model Mondeo may go the way of the dodo in Europe as well.
The “Limited Edition” Shelby version of the 2018 Ford F-150 is now offered in the UAE.
We’ve already said before that the current Ford Mustang GT is quite possibly the best all-rounder sports coupe to come out of America ever. It’s still a fresh model, having hit the GCC only in 2015. However, a facelift as well as some thorough upgrades were introduced for 2018.
Volkswagen, BMW, Ram and more. The past month of August recorded a number of recalls from different manufacturers which are listed below.
July has been a month littered with tiny recalls by different manufacturers. Here is the list of all cars that were recalled in the past month.
Ford’s Focus is a big seller in Europe, but it’s an underrated entity in our UAE market. Despite its tidy looks and arguably class-leading driving dynamics, the C-segment hatchback – and sedan – has been forced to take a back seat (in sales terms) to the likes of the Japanese and the Koreans in the GCC.
Aimed at an end of the year launch, Ford gives their popular Raptor truck a little nip and tuck for the new model year. The 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor gets some updates that make it a better off-roader than the outgoing version.
Ford’s new generation Expedition is the pinnacle of its SUV line-up, and the fourth-generation model has been stuffed with a host of cutting-edge tech to make it a far superior proposition to its predecessor in the three-row, offroad-capable, full-size SUV segment.
After a dynamic few months of recalls after recalls, the month of April is relatively calm with only two significant recalls. But when sheer numbers are considered, there has been less improvement as one recall itself has affected more than a million vehicles.
