In recent years, there has been a major trend in the automotive industry: cars are disappearing from the landscape to make way for other types of vehicles, including SUVs and electric vehicles, bringing new vehicle sizes to the market.
Faced with such changes, the automotive industry is positioning itself accordingly. Ford, a leader in North America and around the world, surprises with a series of features that bring a new dimension to its products. Chartrand, a Ford dealership in the Montreal area located in Laval, reveals the changes taking place right in its backyard.
It was announced as early as 2018 that 75% of Ford vehicles would be revamped or redesigned by 2020. Since this announcement, a lot has happened at the big blue oval.
Some models have been permanently withdrawn, such as the Ford Taurus and the Ford Fiesta, for example. On the other hand, the popularity of SUVs has led the American automaker to renew its Ford Expedition, as well as adding a little brother to the Ford Escape, the automaker's smallest EcoSport crossover. Furthermore, 2020 and 2021 are shaping up to be good years for Ford. In an effort to take a positive step into the SUV market, the Ford Bronco 2020, a 4x4, will now make its entry into the Canadian and Quebec landscape.
In addition, hybrids and electrics vehicles will be an integral part of the line-up, starting with the arrival of the very first 100% electric crossover, the Ford Mach E. This sleek SUV will be equipped with a high-performance electric motor with an increased battery life. Already, several analysts predict that the SUV Ford Mach E will outperform the Tesla in terms of autonomy.
Ford engineers not only promise a powerful electric model, but the manufacturer already suggests that its hybrid will have an autonomy of more than 600 km. While this figure needs to be corroborated by the announcement of the electric Mustang SUV later in November, early indications are showing very encouraging signs for electric vehicle consumers.
With its sumptuous interior and very sporty silhouette, the Mach E SUV will undeniably be efficient and powerful, and the first images show a high-end electric vehicle with an aerodynamic Mustang profile – at a very competitive price. With its eye-catching styling and the Ford Mustang taillights, the Mach E perfectly illustrates Ford's intention to make an eco-friendly shift. In this regard, the American manufacturer has announced a major electric power plan for its models starting in 2020.
A 100% electric SUV, with various high-performance battery options, the Ford Mach-E leads the way for high-performance electric crossovers on the market. There's no doubt that the idea of reviving the iconic Mustang image in an electric SUV is a great way to show that Ford is always listening to people, and this time they want more performance, autonomy and power in their electric vehicles.
More interestingly, Ford wants to give the hybrid vehicle market a big boost by working hard on a high-performance hybrid F-150.
All these changes have begun and are already setting the tone for the automotive industry. Ford is a pioneer, bringing extremely powerful know-how and propelling the future of tomorrow's vehicles by offering them either alternative energy, new technological features or both, while still providing robust products that are both reliable and durable.
For decades, Chartrand Ford, located in Laval near Saint-Eustache and Saint-Jérôme, has been demonstrating unrivaled enthusiasm and interest in new products. Ford’s 2020 and 2021 vehicles will be even more innovative and efficient, so come and discover the brand-new range of products at Chartrand Ford today.
