Spy Shots: Ford Australia tests Verve based small car

<center><img alt="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/IMG_1644_web.jpg" height="204" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/IMG_1644_web.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-in;" width="400" /></center><br />After exclusive spy pictures of Ford Australia testing the upcoming Ford Ranger/Mazda BT-50, our spy guy has now snapped some interesting photos of Ford Australia testing a new small car based on the Ford Verve concept.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><img alt="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/IMG_1633_web.jpg" height="180" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/IMG_1633_web.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-in;" width="400" /></center><br />The car seen in these spy shots is clearly disguised as the previous-generation Ford Fiesta, but it's believed that this new machine may actually be a production version of the Ford Verve concept that was first introduced back in 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.<br /><br /><center><img alt="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/IMG_1449_1.jpg" height="198" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/IMG_1449_1.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />If it ever reaches production, it's likely that the Verve will feature a range of gasoline and diesel engines varying in size from 1.2- to 1.5-liters. According to Car Advice, this new hatchback is expected to get a formal green-light from Ford sometime in mid-2010 en-route to production a few months later. For what it's worth, we don't expect to see this car come Stateside, as America will already have the new Fiesta subcompact followed by a new global Focus.<br /><br /><center><img alt="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/IMG_1415_1.jpg" height="237" src="http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/IMG_1415_1.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />Fitted with petrol and diesel variants, the new small car will be built in both sedan and hatchback versions. Petrol variants of the new small car are likely to receive a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine, while the diesel variants pictured will receive 1.5-litre diesel engines.<br />via:<a href="http://www.caradvice.com.au/34284/spy-pics-ford-australia-tests-verve-based-small-car/">caradvice</a><br /><br /></span><p>
