Ford’s upcoming SUV: Demand for sport utility vehicles (SUVs) is rising rapidly in the Indian market, and people are more interested in SUV vehicles than sedans. Given this interest of consumers, American automaker Ford is now preparing to bring its new SUV to the Indian market. Recently the image of this SUV has leaked on the internet and it is said that this SUV will be based on the Mahindra XUV500.

Let me tell you, there was an agreement between Ford and Mahindra last year, under which two automakers agreed to share the vehicle platform with each other. Ford is believed to be based on the new Mahindra full-size SUV XUV500. According to information, the company may release it to the market next year. Let’s say this is the first vehicle of a joint venture between Ford and Mahindra.

According to media reports, the SUV has the codename (CX 757), and is based on the next-generation XUV500. The company is expected to use a 2.0-liter capacity petrol engine and a 2.2-liter diesel engine. It is sourced from Mahindra, and if the reports are true, it will be the same Mstallion and Enhak engine used in Thor.

Another specialty of this Ford SUV is that it was designed by Mahindra-owned Italian company Pininfarina. This company is world-renowned for designing cars with a specific sports look. However, the leaked image on the Internet reminds us of the Ford Equator. It will now be interesting to see how long the company will market it. Coming to the market, this SUV will compete with models like Tata Harrier and MG Hector.
