It's a Fiesta based SUV to replace the Ecosport.

So why the camouflage?
Is it to get publicity about a new up and coming model? "Gee look at that car, I'd better take a pic and send it to the papers." If they painted the cars white and drove them around no one would notice. |

without showing too much, it's a great way of advertising through social media. Now people are asking what this new compact could be which is all good for Ford. |

I suspect it is the EcoSport replacement. The body is completely different to the Fiesta's ...even though it does look similar.
Spy photography is a funny old business, it creates interest in upcoming new vehicles from the public & then there are interested parties who just like to doodle all over them. |

Thought it was a CX-3 from the rear.
These days these things are not really crossovers, they are just a normal car that has suspension high enough so you don't scrape the front bumper or your towbar on driveways as often. |
