Focus
Praised globally for its superior handling and refinement, the second-generation international Focus was a benchmark for its class. In 2009, it was available in a wide range of body styles, including the high-performance ST and the iconic, rally-bred RS model.
Fiesta
A popular supermini worldwide, the 2009 Fiesta marked a new generation praised for its sharp “Kinetic Design” styling and fun-to-drive chassis. It set a new standard in the small car segment with its dynamic handling and efficient engine lineup.
Fusion
A competitive mid-size sedan in the American market, the 2009 Fusion was known for its solid driving dynamics, comfortable ride, and available all-wheel drive. This model year was the last before a major refresh, offering a great blend of comfort and sportiness.

Ford’s flagship family car for international markets, the 2009 Mondeo impressed with its spacious, high-quality interior and sophisticated driving experience. Its “Kinetic Design” styling gave it a premium look that stood out in its competitive segment.
Taurus
The Taurus nameplate was revived for 2009 on the full-size sedan platform formerly known as the Five Hundred. It offered a commanding view of the road, a massive interior, a standard 3.5L V6 engine, and the safety of available all-wheel drive.
Taurus X
The 2009 Taurus X was a full-size crossover that blended the attributes of an SUV and a station wagon. Effectively a renamed and re-engined Ford Freestyle, it provided spacious seating for up to seven passengers and a comfortable, car-like ride.
Mustang
An American icon, the 2009 Mustang continued the success of its retro-futuristic fifth-generation design. Available with V6 or V8 power, it also featured special editions like the movie-inspired Bullitt and the ultra-powerful Shelby GT500KR.
Crown Victoria
A throwback to traditional American engineering, the 2009 Crown Victoria was one of the last body-on-frame sedans available to the public. Known for its durability and spaciousness, it was a favorite for police and taxi fleets but held appeal for civilian buyers too.
Ka
Ford’s city car was sold as two different vehicles in 2009. The European model was a stylish three-door based on the Fiat 500, while the South American version was a more practical, locally-developed five-door model based on an older platform.
C-Max
The 2009 C-Max was a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that delivered the practicality of a people carrier with the fun-to-drive nature of the Ford Focus on which it was based. Its clever interior and agile handling made it a popular family choice in Europe.
S-Max
Proving that a family hauler could be exciting, the 2009 S-Max blended seven-seat practicality with sharp styling and surprisingly sporty handling. It offered a flexible interior and a commanding driving position without the bulk of a traditional SUV.

Edge
The 2009 Ford Edge offered bold, modern styling in the mid-size crossover segment. Strictly a five-seater, it focused on providing a spacious, quiet cabin and a smooth, comfortable ride, powered by a standard 3.5L V6 engine for confident performance.
Flex
With its distinctive, retro-modern styling, the 2009 Ford Flex was unlike any other crossover on the road. It functioned as a stylish alternative to a minivan, offering an incredibly spacious three-row interior, a quiet ride, and many family-friendly features.

A massive success in South America, the first-generation EcoSport was a pioneer of the small crossover segment. The 2009 model offered the rugged looks and high driving position of an SUV in a compact, affordable, and city-friendly package.
