The Ford C2 platform is an automotive platform developed by Ford and in use since 2018, replacing the company's C1 and CD4 platforms as the basis for its compact cars (C-segment) and mid-size cars.[1]
As with other modular platforms, the C2 can be used by a variety of models, to defray development costs.[2] Notably, the platform can accommodate torsion beam or multilink rear suspension, and unlike its predecessors, the C2 platform can also accommodate varying wheelbase and track dimensions, from subcompact to mid-size.[3]
