Ford's long-awaited Volkswagen Group MEB-based electric SUV has been caught testing on public roads just two months before a scheduled official unveiling.
The as-yet-unnamed Hyundai Ioniq 5 rival was officially previewed last month, but only in a darkened silhouette image that gave little away beyond its basic proportions and distinctive LED headlight signature.
It will be one of the first Ford models to be designed according to the 'Adventurous Spirit' ethos, to help Ford "connect emotionally with consumers who say they know we're American but don't feel we're American", said Ford's Europe marketing boss, Peter Zillig.
Here, we detail five key aspects of Ford's electric SUV.
