Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Filed under: Concept Cars, Minivan/Van, Europe, Ford, Luxury
Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
The S-Max Vignale concept is being showcased in Ford's Vignale Lounge at the Salone del Mobile during Milan Design Week alongside a line of award-winning Vignale fashion accessories. Ford has already confirmed, however, that (like the Mondeo) a production version will follow. In the meantime you can scope out the details in the press release below for more.Continue reading Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
