The interior design was inspired by extreme winter sports |
An exciting and unexpected new concept from Ford: the Iosis X. The Iosis X applies Ford of Europe's new "kinetic design language" to a five-door crossover concept.
Ford says that while the Iosis X is purely a show-car and not a direct preview of a production model, the stunning concept will form the basis for a future model to hit the market in about a year and a half. The sporty-yet-rugged concept also gives an indication of the styling direction we can expect to see on new production Fords. Instead of the usual lower body cladding, the Iosis X features "skid plates" that fold down on the sides for ease-of-access to the cabin.
The interior design was inspired by extreme winter sports, with four racing buckets floating over a glass floor, like that in a glass-bottom excursion boat. The center console snakes through the cabin, reaching the roof at the rear to secure the spare tire and tailgate mechanism. An overhead console is flanked by glass panels, all in all giving the cabin enhanced lighting and visibility in all directions.
