Ford Iosis

The Ford Iosis was a four-door saloon concept car developed by Ford Europe and first shown at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, following the Ford SAV that had appeared earlier that year at the Geneva show. The pair were built to show the new Kinetic Design direction that Ford intended for its European range, with clean angles, a sharply sloped windscreen and large wheels that observers likened to an Aston Martin. Two related concepts followed. The Iosis X, an SUV shown at the 2006 Paris Motor Show, eventually led to the Ford Kuga. The Iosis-MAX, a vision of Ford's next compact multi-activity vehicle unveiled at the 2009 Geneva show, hinted at the design of the next global C-cars and later evolved into the new generation of the Ford Focus.
