Ford takes an unknown SUV out for some road tests

Based on the latest spy photos you can see here, car manufacturer Ford has begun testing a still unannounced crossover/SUV model out in the open. Our guess would be either a new Ford Focus or a next EcoSport, but this isn’t final.

The company did say it was going to expand its crossover/SUV lineup in the nearest future (meaning both facelifted and brand-new models), so the move is actually unsurprising. 

The vehicle spotted today looks pretty much like a compact crossover, or otherwise a hardcore off-road hatchback. It appears larger than the EcoSport but smaller than the Kuga, and is almost identical in dimensions to the Focus – albeit with a much higher road clearance.

Based on the above, we are assuming that what we see here is the next-generation EcoSport. Nonetheless, since the photos were made in Germany, chances are fairly good that Ford is designing an all-new SUV model for the European market.

Let’s wait until we learn more, be it via an official statement or more leaked photos.
