About Ford
Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903 in Michigan. The Model T, introduced in 1908, and the moving assembly line that followed in 1913 made car ownership affordable on a mass scale. Ford of Britain was established in the early twentieth century and built cars at Dagenham for decades. Ford remains a family-influenced company, with descendants of Henry Ford still holding significant voting rights.
For many years Ford led the UK market with models such as the Cortina, Escort, Sierra, Fiesta and Focus. The European range has since shifted towards SUVs and electric cars, with the Fiesta ending production in 2023. Current UK models include the Puma and Kuga, the Ranger pick-up and Transit vans, along with electric models such as the Puma Gen-E, Explorer, Capri and Mustang Mach-E. Ford also continues to dominate the UK van market with the Transit range, and its Puma has been one of Britain's best-selling cars in recent years.
Ford on a car subscription
Ford is a familiar choice for subscribers who want a practical, well-understood car on flexible terms. The Puma and Kuga suit everyday family use, while the Puma Gen-E, Explorer and Mustang Mach-E let drivers try an EV without a long commitment, with low Benefit-in-Kind rates for company car users. Check the mileage allowance, the real-world range of electric models, and whether a Ranger pick-up subscription covers towing and business use.
