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]
