Ford hopes to spark chauffeur interest with concept Tourneo

Ford is hoping its latest concept vehicle will appeal to the chauffeur and private hire sector when it is shown in Geneva next month.

The dynamic Ford Tourneo Custom Concept promises a new level of energy and style and marks the beginning of a completely new range of people movers, with commercial vehicles to follow. The Tourneo Custom Concept showcases a dramatic new look that will appeal to customers seeking style, functionality and space according to the manufacturer.

“One look at the Tourneo Custom Concept is enough to tell you that it will inject an exciting new spirit into the personal use segment,” said Stephen Odell, chairman and CEO, Ford of Europe.  “Our forthcoming new range gives us the opportunity to appeal to new customers with a fresh new direction, and we have seized that opportunity with both hands.

“We are excited to present this significant new concept in Geneva. The Tourneo Custom’s car-like qualities will be appreciated by a broad range of business and leisure customers, and this is a fitting venue to present the vehicle for the first time.”

The Tourneo Custom Concept will preview a host of exciting new features, which give the vehicle strong car-like appeal.

These include an all-new interior design with driver-focused cockpit, and a luxurious, fully trimmed cabin which has the ambience and high-quality materials of a modern multi-seat saloon car. The Concept also showcases a number of smart innovations including multi-adjustable and removable rear seating, advanced SYNC voice-activated, in-car connectivity system and the latest Ford low-CO2 ECOnetic Technologies.
