Ford's Best-Selling Models Of All Time
Ford's Best-Selling Models of All Time
Ford sometimes gets a bad rep—famous for its "Fix Or Repair Daily" moniker—but it's also the quintessential American car manufacturer, renowned for the Ford Mustang, the Model T, and the F-150—the pickup truck of pickup trucks.
Ford has produced some of the most legendary motors over the past 120 years, from All-American to all-electric.
Here are some of the best-selling Ford models of all time.
Ford EcoSport
Released in 2003, the Ford EcoSport was a late bloomer to the North American market—only arriving on the continent in 2018, four years after it was discontinued globally, having been originally released in 2003 in Brazil, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
Despite this late entry into the North American market, the EcoSport sold over 2 million units worldwide, making it one of the best-selling Ford subcompact crossovers to ever hit the road.
Ford S-Max
Sold exclusively in Ford's popular European market, the S-Max was developed as a market stop-gap between a sporty sedan and a spacious minivan. Designed to give users the best of both worlds, the Ford S-Max was Ford's first "kinetic design"
styling, with angular headlights, large wheel arches, and trapezoidal grilles.
The S-Max filled the gap in the market perfectly, selling over 2.1 million units worldwide.
Ford C-Max
Europe seems to have been Ford's testing ground in the early 2000s, as the C-Max was yet another car released in Europe first.
The compact hatchback is something of a European specialty, as few road users need a large minivan, but some need something more spacious than an ultra-compact car.
The C-Max was introduced in the United States in 2012 as part of its first line of hybrid-only vehicles.
The C-Max sold over 2.5 million units, with its middle-of-the-road sizing proving popular among Europeans.
Ford Edge
The Ford Edge was the first mid-size crossover SUV sold by Ford in North America, characterized by its large wheel arches, plentiful trunk space, and the ability to seat five, fitting into Ford's SUV market between the smaller Ford Escape and the larger Explorer.
In 2023, Ford released a China-only version of the Edge with three rows of seats and a choice between gas and hybrid powertrains. North America has yet to see this newest generation of the Edge.
It gave Ford the "edge", you might say, over its competition, selling an impressive 3 million units.
