that we get in the U.S. It has a modern-looking grille-less face, a relatively low-slung but still boxy shape, and interesting details including a slatted design element on the C-pillar and chunky wheel patterns. Inside, it has a large 14.6-inch vertical touchscreen and a digital gauge cluster, plus a spacious center console and a lockable compartment behind the screen. It's a two-row setup with five seats, and Ford claims 17 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat.

A second larger MEB-based Ford electric crossover is set to arrive in Europe next year, and we've previously speculated that that one could end up in the U.S.
