福特将从2019年开始陆续发布旗下的新一代车型。其中嘉年华和福克斯将是首先获得更新的车型，只有福克斯Active和野马的新车将稍后推出。当福特最后一款轿车Fusion在2020或2021年发布后，福特将亮相全新野马。福特承诺新车将超越现行版。据《汽车新闻》报道，新一代野马将在2021年上市。这比福特先前承诺的上市时间晚了一年。新车将采用福特全新模块化平台，福特未来将有五个这样的平台。这意味着该车将与新一代探险者和林肯飞行家共享平台。虽然该车仍将采用后轮驱动，但福特还将首次提供全轮驱动版车型。该车将与道奇ChallengerGT争夺市场。有传言称，新车还将有混动版本，不过这款车将在汽油版车型之后发布。野马首席设计师DarrellBehmer表示：“新一代野马仍将是一款动力强劲，车身比例匀称的车型。模块化结构的采用将提升车辆灵活性，这将提升野马的品质。”

 

Ford Pushes Next-Gen Mustang Launch To 2021

Ford is dropping nearly every car from its lineup beginning in 2019. The Fiesta and Focus will be the first to go, and only the Focus Active and Mustang will remain. But when the last sedan – the Fusion – shuffles off sometime in 2020 or 2021, the Blue Oval will debut an all-new version of its iconic pony car that same year. And it promises to offer more than the current model.

 

According to Automotive News, the new Mustang won't arrive until 2021. That's a year later than Ford had initially promised. When it does show up, it will ride on one of Ford's five new modular platforms. That means it should share some components with the new Explorer and upcoming Lincoln Aviator. Though it will retain its rear-drive bias, Ford could offer an all-wheel-drive version of the Mustang for the first time ever. It would compete directly with cars like the Dodge Challenger GT. There have also been reports of a hybrid model, too, which is scheduled to show up sometime shortly after the pure gas-powered model in 2021.

 

"Mustang is still going to be a strong, well-proportioned vehicle," Chief Designer Darrell Behmer said in an interview with Automotive News. "The modular architectures will still give us flexibility; it's not going to bastardize Mustang."
