Ford Iosis X Concept Updates the SUV for Europe

Fords you’ll find in Europe aren’t the same as those in the U.S. Designs over there aim at different customers, and many European Fords are more upscale than those here — and they cost more, too. The same could be said for the concepts Ford is showing off in Paris, like this stunning iosis X. Ford’s European design team has been heading in the direction of this crossover for the past few years, and the first iosis concept — a sedan — has already had its design utilized in new production offerings over there.

European shoppers will probably see a production version of the iosis X in the near future, as Ford tries to explain the need for crossovers in a wagon — and hatchback — ruled market. That makes us a little sad here in the Cars.com office. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with the new Ford Edge, but this concept is stunning.
