Jim Farley affordable RWD sedan Teased as Next All-Electric Performance Model

Sedans are completely extinct from Ford’s American lineup, having been sacrificed to make the Bronco and Maverick successful. But Ford CEO Jim Farley sees a strong future for them—if they are electric. The Jim Farley affordable RWD sedan concept, which he teased during a recent interview, shows Ford is thinking seriously about bringing back a high-performance, lower-riding car.

This is far from confirmation that such a vehicle is on its way, but Farley’s public question suggests considerable thought has already been put into the idea. The CEO believes the sedan silhouette makes perfect sense for a profitable, high-volume EV project.

Here is a look at Farley’s vision for the future of Ford performance.

The Electric Sedan Idea

Farley believes there is still a “huge market” for sedans, especially if they are designed to solve the issues that plagued the old Fusion and Focus (unprofitability due to European roots).

Feature	Requirement	Benefit / Context
Powertrain	All-Electric	Key to future profitability and performance.
Drivetrain	Rear-Wheel-Drive (RWD)	Essential for high-performance handling and enthusiast appeal.
Price	Affordable	Must be accessible to high volumes of buyers.
Utility	“Really Cool Closure System”	Suggests a liftback or hatchback design (like the Audi A5) to increase cargo space.
Design	Clean Aerodynamics	The sedan silhouette is highly efficient, maximizing EV range.

The suggestion of a “really cool closure system” is fueling rumors that the project could evolve into the long-rumored “Mustang sedan” or utilize the recently trademarked “Mach 4” nameplate.

Farley’s Dream Projects

The Jim Farley affordable RWD sedan is just one part of the CEO’s enthusiast-driven vision. He also revealed a personal dream project that goes far beyond street performance.

Project	Concept	Description
Sedan	Affordable EV Performance	RWD, high-performance, aerodynamically clean sedan for mass market.
Supercar	Electrified Off-Roader	A “Raptor R without the truck” or a World Rally Championship car for four people.

Farley’s comments show that Ford remains an enthusiast-driven company. Whether the Jim Farley affordable RWD sedan sees the light of day depends on market interest, but the initial engineering-first approach—tying the design to aerodynamic efficiency and the manufacturing to U.S. profitability—suggests the concept has strong corporate backing.
