The Ford Maverick compact truck is a long-awaited launch and its birth was triggered by a trend. In the past couple of decades, we have seen monocoque crossovers gain ground over old-school ladder-frame based SUVs. With the arrival of the Maverick, Ford is looking to shake up the U.S. pickup truck segment, even if past attempts at crossover pickups by Honda and Subaru produced a lukewarm response.
The month of May 2021 turns out to be a breather for the automotive scene with just a handful of recalls around the globe. Here is the list.
Lifted wagons (not crossovers) were in a niche of their own three decades ago, with only a few still being sold nowadays to lukewarm sales. They seem to be making a minor comeback though. Ford has joined in on the trend with their new creation for the Chinese market, named the Evos.
A couple of days earlier, Ford jumped into the EV truck waters with the Ford F-150 Lightning. With the meat of the Lightning range catering to the lifestyle customers, Ford is now wooing the commercial market with their F-150 Lightning Pro, an entry-level model to the EV truck range.
The original Ford F-150 SVT Lightning was a “sports truck” last since almost 2 decades ago, bowing out as a legend that was never replaced as the Raptor took over the mantle of top dog. So it was a smart marketing move by Ford to rebirth the F-150 Lightning as a speedy all-electric truck that is going to shake up the segment.
Ford Escort was quite an important nameplate for the brand till it was discontinued when the Focus came around in 2002. The Escort name can now be found on a China-made sedan on our roads that came in 2019. Now, the 2021 Ford Escort gets a thorough facelift in China.
The Takata inflator-related recall makes a comeback in the second month of 2021, while Tesla finds itself in yet another recall. Here is the list of all global recalls for February 2021.
When the 2021 Ford F-150 came out last year, people were wondering when the next Raptor will make an appearance. Now almost a year later, they have revealed the new generation 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor with the promise of a V8 on the horizon.
If you have been dejected since the day Ford launched the Mustang Mach-E crossover with the name of your favorite muscle car, this should somewhat give you a bit of relief. Ford pushes the performance envelope of the EV crossover with a new Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition with the comparable capability to that of the Mustang Shelby GT500.
