Here is the long waited for Ford Verve. Ford has made a great step forward to start the line of small cars; this was the gap in Ford’s collection. Of course, Ford nothing does with no purpose and starting the Verve line was not aimless. The purpose was to be a worthy competitor for such cars as Toyota Yaris or Honda Fit. The car can be given the following traits as affordable alternative, small, and fuel-efficient. There are some hints and rumors about the car, pointing that the U.S automaker started this line to fulfill the empty space in Ford auto rates.

The Frankfurt Auto Show will be the debut time for the Ford Verve. As the pictures indicate, the car will be represented in the sheetmetal form at the Show, which is going to take part, as you remember, in some days in September. The concept is grounded on the prior prototypes, for example Iosis, according to Ford-speak it introduces the new “kinetic design” philosophy. The design is made in the sculpted form so as to project both muscularity and agility. In fact, this is a progress if to compare with the small cars of the past, which are cheap-and-cheerful.
The bright place on the car which draws attention immediately is the grill, which is now lower, inverted and having a trapezoidal form. LED lights, featuring projector and prominent headlights draw the whole picture. The rear features of Verve, such as a central exhaust, changed into the lower diffuser. The diffuser, in its turn, complements elements of brushed and dark aluminium.
The car has two-piece alloy wheels, which are 18 inches in diameter, and they are 12-spoke.
The high-tech supplied the interior became even “higher”, now the designers equipped the car with the latest mobile phones.
Despite some manufactures, which consolidate electronic system into control sets, Ford separated various elements, but in such a way that the navigation and audio are easy to reach because that are logically placed.
Vidakovic said, “A new generation of buyers raised with mobile electronic devices would feel right at home in this new automotive interior, one that exceeds the standards typical in the small-car segment”. Very interesting short binocular-shaped tunnels serve as the frame for the primary gauges – the rev counter and the speedometer. This feature complements the center stack and adds some contrast to the interior colors making them richer and adding the image of fashion accessory.
