The all-new Ford Fiesta is set to raise the stakes in the compact car segment by building on the proud heritage of the very successful outgoing model. It represents a bold step forward in every area, from its attractive styling to the exceptional build quality, the superb craftsmanship evident in the new interior to the unrivaled safety, smart features and technology.
The Fiesta’s widely acclaimed fun-to-drive character has been lifted to new heights, and its eye-catching new design embodies trend-setting style and sophistication.
The revolutionary interior design also takes a big step forward by delivering significant gains in space, comfort, ergonomics and high-tech features – including floating 6.5-inch or 8-inch full-colour touch screens that incorporate Ford’s innovative SYNC®3 infotainment system, with embedded turn-by-turn navigation on the top-spec models.
The multiple award-winning 1.0 EcoBoost engine remains a cornerstone of the Fiesta line-up, with a choice of new six-speed manual or automatic transmissions, along with the option of the frugal 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine.
Two specification levels are available at launch, comprising the feature-rich Trend series and the range-topping Titanium that boasts an outstanding level of standard equipment.
