Frankfurt Motor Show 2013: Top 5 hidden gems
With a wonderful array of conceptual ideas and supercar exotica, it’s all too easy to be swept away with the headlines and forget the everyday cars that make the Frankfurt Motor Show such a success. That’s why HonestJohn.co.uk has travelled to Germany to trawl the show halls to find the best Frankfurt has to offer.
This year’s show has been a bumper one for MPVs and fans of small and economical cars. What’s more, we’ve also spotted a Porsche that was almost completely forgotten about in the sea of praise for the 918 Spyder hybrid. So check out our top five hidden gems and discover what you might be driving in the next year or two.
Ford S-MAX
As far as we’re concerned the Ford S-Max is one of the best MPVs around and it’ll take a lot of beating. Yet, with this new design, which was shown publicly for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show, it looks like Ford might have pulled off the impossible. Packed with class-leading technology, the new S-Max will reach the road in 2015 and feature a fresh new look, with swept-back headlamps and Aston Martin-style grille. Power units will include the new turbocharged petrol 1.5-litre, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine and each car will feature monitoring systems that will keep an eye on the driver's heart rate and blood levels.
