A new crossover wearing the Ford badge will be revealed at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Called the Kuga, the vehicle draws heavily on the Iosis X concept car presented at the 2006 Paris Motor Show. "We recognised that image-conscious customers for this kind of vehicle want a very individual car in which impressive on-road capability blends seamlessly with substantial off-road ability," said Martin Smith, Executive Design Director for Ford of Europe.
The Kuga was designed using Ford's 'kinetic design' form language, with the compact 4x4 crossover scheduled to be added to the Ford of Europe portfolio in early 2008.
