Ford has unveiled a new Verve concept car as a followup to the four-door version shown at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China in November. Overall, this concept is quite similar to the Chinese concept, with some changes to the car’s face.
While the Chinese Verve four-door was derived directly from the original Verve Hatchback concept, this new Verve sedan has a rethought grille design and more aggressive front fascia.
The Verve Hatchback — introduced in August — was a direct preview of the forthcoming next-generation Ford Fiesta, which is expected to be sold in North America, Europe and Asia.
Ford has described the sedan as a “small-car vision for North America.” Ford has suggested the car might hit the market in 2010.
While it’s not clear if any possible production version of the Verve sedan will be sold under the Fiesta nameplate of something else, Ford apparently intends to bring this car to market.
