Farewell Fiesta, Hello Verve

Goodbye Fiesta – Hello Verve! These exclusive pictures show the face of Ford’s new small car. We revealed the first sketches of the B-Car Concept in this week’s magazine. However, the reality is even more stunning.

Due to be launched at next months Frankfurt Show, it gives strong clues about the styling of next year’s Fiesta replacement. The sporty new look is an extension of the Blue Oval’s ‘Kinetic Design’ first seen on the S-Max and Mondeo. At the front it carries a large trapezoidal grille, while the muscular wheelarches and hunkered stance hint at excellent driving dynamics.

Fortunately the inside is as as the bodywork. The funky centre console draws its inspiration from mobile phones, and despite the sweeping roofline it should seat five easily.

Ford management is keen to stress that this isn’t the replacement for its popular supermini. However, when the car is revealed next year expect it too carry a lot of the design cues seen here.
