Ford Tourneo Concept - Why it should come to India

While the Toyota Innova enjoys a large portion of the commercial people mover marketplace, it essentially doesn’t have any real competition. Europe and the United States are far more evolved markets in this regard, which has a lot to do with the industry there, which perceives such vehicles as worthy long term investments.

While options in India are limited at present, multi-segment car manufacturer Ford has worked steadily at creating a more efficient and customizable vehicle to suits the needs of markets showing a great deal of interest in such vehicles, and at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show this effort saw appreciation in the form of the Ford Tourneo Concept.

Executive shuttles are almost non-existent in the Indian automotive scenario at present and the Tourneo with its stylish eight-seat configuration and dynamic Kinetic Design language just like Ford's latest passenger cars is surely a far more refreshing decree. Multi-adjustable and removable rear seating on the Tourneo are just ideal for business or leisure pursuits, while innovative new technologies include SYNC voice-activated, in-car connectivity system with Emergency Assistance.

Best-in-class fuel economy with Ford’s latest low-CO2 ECOnetic Technologies coupled with energy and fuel saving features like Auto-Start-Stop and Smart Regenerative Charging would make the Tourneo a great prospect for Indian roads.
