This year’s Geneva Motor Show holds even less interest for American consumers than usual, but Ford’s Iosis MAX concept is of vital importance to the company’s U.S. lineup. Ford says this is a look at the design it’s considering for its next global C-car. That’s the size of the Ford Focus here in the States. Ford has already said the next U.S. Focus will be the same model as what’s sold globally, unlike the current model, which is made strictly for the U.S. market.
The iosis MAX is a study for the next generation of Ford’s compact multi-activity vehicle (MAV) as well as a glimpse at the design direction Martin Smith and his team are taking for the company’s next generation global C-car family.
The exterior and interior designs based on a fresh interpretation of Ford’s kinetic design form language.
Main exterior design elements include a coupé-like side profile, a new window line graphic , with a ‘flying buttress’ C-pillar design, newly designed lower trapezoidal grille and front / rear lights.
Thhe two-piece tailgate design allows full opening even in restricted spaces, while the B-Pillarless construction and new door kinematics allows an easier side loading.
The interior features dynamic shapes and advanced materials; the centre console has a three-dimensional touch-screen surface. The lightweight seats are supported on spine-like bridge, offering occupants a sensation of ‘floating on air’.
The car adopts a number od solutions which enhance its environmental performance, such as lightweight materials, advanced aerodynamics, and a preview of the European development of Ford’s global EcoBoost petrol engine technology coming in 2010.
