Ford has unveiled at this year's NAIAS the new Ford Vertrek - a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) concept. The new Ford Vertrek concept vehicle shows the company’s evolving global kinetic design philosophy. This means the front design of the Ford Vertrek concept follows the basic general styling lines also used for the latest generation of the Focus.
The main design focus points showcased by the new Ford Vertrek concept include the lower trapezoidal front grille, the slimmer headlamp and taillamp treatment, the faster roofline and rising beltline.
The Ford Vertrek is powered by the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine equipped with Ford Auto
Start-Stop technology, but it will also be available with the 2.0-liter Duratorq TDCi diesel engine.
The Ford Vertrek is built on the company's new global C-segment platform which will spawn more than 2 million vehicles globally by 2012, or so Ford hopes.
The Ford Vertrek price list and availability have not been announced yet. Meanwhile, watch the first Ford Vertrek video after the jump.
