Designed as the opening act in a new global small-car lineup, derivatives of the Verve are set to make their European and Asian production debut by year's end, with a North American launch set for 2010. The four-door concept is the primary car designated for U.S. sales, though Ford is also showing a European-issue three-door version to gauge public reaction as a potential sister model.

Styling for the North American Verve sedan differs slightly from European-spec models, especially in the front. A three-bar upper grill and smaller inverted trapezodial grill are substituted for the U.S. market and two federally-mandated sidemarker lights are LED items set to either side of the vehicle's nose. The Verve's headlamps are elongated and reach back into the front fenders -- and feature the latest technology with both projector beams and a LED setup
