Making its first Asia-Pacific appearance, the iosis MAX concept car features Ford's celebrated kinetic design language, EcoBoost engine technology and PowerShift transmission.

Recently debuted at the Geneva Motor Show, the iosis MAX has dramatic looks and a striking pearlescent 'Limelight' color, which is complemented by innovative solutions that enhance its practicality and environmental performance.

"Although it isn't a forerunner to a specific production vehicle, the iosis MAX clearly highlights how kinetic design is evolving and can be applied with stunning results. The iosis MAX marks the next stage in the evolution of kinetic design, and showcases a number of affordable engine technologies that will make a difference to the environment and our customers' pockets," said Martin Smith, executive design director, Ford of Europe.
