Ford is probably working on a new sedan.

In a recent interview at the Monterey Car Week, the Ford CEO offered an explanation for the death of the Ford sedan in the US. As well as hope for a brand new one coming soon.

The only sedan fans have been expecting from Ford lately has been a 4-door version of the current Mustang. Something that is highly unlikely, since sales of the Mustang have been lower than ever in its history. I’m not sure how adding 2 doors to a dud could make it much more popular.

Mr Farley seems to think the Fusion was not popular in the US because it was a car mainly designed for Europe. Our last-generation Fusion was basically a US version of the European Ford Mondeo. It was an expensive car for Ford to produce to keep it going. That money went to the Bronco and Maverick, 2 products that have been very successful in the US.

Now there are talks bout an affordable sedan based on Ford’s new “low-cost” EV platform. Which will already know will host at least 8 new models. Ford’s CEO is now hinting that a new Ford sedan could be one of these products. One that is more targeted to the North American market and not Europe. That means such a car wouldn’t be small. It would probably have to be larger.

As far as a name, my vote ford for “LTD” of course. As there were not more American sedans than the good old Ford LTD for decades. A comfortable, well-built, super roomy and quiet sedan the masses could afford.

I think a return of the “LTD” as an affordable, large, roomy sedan for the US would be great news. Even if most current buyers have never heard of the name…

Ford still produces a sedan in China. It just got a facelift for 2026, and still doesn’t look that great…
