Ford CD4 platform (mid-size Cars)

The Ford C2 platform is an automobile platform developed by Ford since 2018. It replaced the Ford C1 platform and Ford CD4 platform as the platform for its compact cars (C-segment) and mid-size cars.[1] The modularity of the platform enables it to be used for various models, which spreads out development costs over more vehicles.[2] It can use torsion beam or multilink rear suspension. Unlike its predecessor, the C2 platform can be used for cars of varying wheelbases and track widths, from subcompact to mid-size.[3] Vehicles based on the C2 platform have been reviewed very favourably with regards to driving characteristics.[4][5]
