Dynamic personality evident from every angle
Verve comes in both four- and three-door body styles. The four-door is the basis for the production vehicle that will be sold in North America beginning in 2010. The European three-door is being shown to test market reaction to the body style – as a possible additional small car for the North American market.
The Verve concept has a sleek and dynamically poised design. Viewed from the front, the vehicle features:
- A bold, three-bar graphic with a Ford blue oval in the upper grille opening and downsized the lower, inverted trapezoidal grille.
- Pronounced, rearward-stretching headlamps, giving the face of the Ford Verve concept a friendly, open and inviting personality.
- A toned and athletic hood sculpture that’s not overtly muscular.
- Prominent headlamps that feature two projector beams and a light-emitting diode (LED) array.
- Two unique LED side markers flank the front fascia.
- Specially designed 18-inch, 12-spoke two-piece alloy wheels that lend even more drama to the car.
From the side view, the Verve concept has a purposeful look:
- The profile is emphasized by the pillar-less side window shape, mirroring the body’s curving upper contour line. This extends rearward from the angular A-pillar to marry the semi-high-mounted, LED tail lamps sculpted to become part of the fullness of the body shape.
- These elements blend cohesively together and support the panoramic glass roof.
- Subtle chrome bars accent the door handles.
- Brushed aluminum accents the lower grille surround, the rear number plate surround, and the lower edge of the front fog lamps.
- Low-profile tires feature a sidewall stripe that complements the rich Rouge Red body color.
