Here’s the second instalment in Ford’s Verve concept trilogy, which gives us a look at the future of the new Fiesta. This one, revealed at this week’s Guangzhou motor show in China, will become the saloon model destined for Asian markets, as part of the new Fiesta’s three-car model line-up.
Identical up to the B-pillar to the hatch that will go into production as the European Fiesta next year, this Verve adds a neat boot to the rear. It also previews how the five-door Fiesta will look, although like the production saloon, that car will get a B-pillar and frames on the doors.
The new Fiesta will become Ford’s first global car, although it’s been designed and engineered by Ford of Europe. The third and final Verve concept, showing a taller Fiesta for the US market - possibly a Fusion-like crossover SUV - will appear at January’s Detroit motor show.
