Just depends what rules the FIA lets the manufacturers use. Ford are planning on a small EV that could use the VW floor plan. Ford/ M-Sport might be allowed to throw the fiesta engine into that for entry level rally use, but progressing with the latest car show room shape.
or
The current Puma's wheelbase is 2588mm which is 52mm shorter than the Toyota C-HR 2640mm which in vid was turned into a basic AP4 rally SUV.
I would think the professional European teams will figure out how to make successful next gen entry level rally cars when the time comes.
Japanese AP4 suv there are also Thai , Indonesian SUV AP4s.

Ironically the new e-Puma road car will be built using the platform of the e-Transit van !
Re the Rally2, it's been stated by an ex-Ford boss that the Puma ST is likely to be used...

No Fourmaux in Japan now. They are talking a 23 WRC programme in the press release but a lot can happen between then and now!

Fourmaux is done for Rally 1 at least. They may return him back to Rally 2 or assign him to Dakar and new Rally 2 car development.
I'm happy with the 23 quality Rally2 entries, over a greater quantity. All the top ERC drivers are here, some for the first time, plus the Solbergs and Johan Kristoffersson. ...
