New Ford Escort 2018 comes out exclusively in China

The Ford Escort 2018, for a long time (since 1968), has gained its reputation in Europe from being a reminder of fire-breathing speed cars to a family workhorse. Though it said goodbye to the old continent in 2004, it makes a comeback in the Chinese market and will be out exclusively in the communist country.

Also coming out this occasion, the 4^th gen Focus makes its way to Chinese car enthusiasts. The new Focus as coming to China will run on Ford’s latest global platform.
