Available in three and five-door iterations, the ever-popular Ford Fiesta delivers responsive handling and a refined ride, and comes with a range of smooth, cost-effective engine options. Putting the ‘super’ into ‘supermini’, the Fiesta is available in Style, Zetec, Zetec S, Titanium and Titanium X trim levels.
Exterior
This smartly styled all-rounder comes in a Blazer Blue or Race Red livery. Other eye-catching colours, such as Hot Mustard, Frozen White, Panther Black and Copper Pulse are available as options. The Fiesta features a number of colour-coded fixtures include bumpers, a rear spoiler, door handles and (power-operated and heated door mirrors). The latter incorporate side indicators, and further illumination includes courtesy-delay headlights and LED daytime running lights.
Zetec grades come with 15-inch dual-spoke alloy wheels, chrome-surrounded front fog lamps and a Quickclear heated windscreen.
Interior
Inside the vehicle’s five-person cabin, the driver benefits from four-way adjustable seating and a rake-and-reach steering wheel. Other standard features include remote central locking, power-assisted steering, electric front windows (with one-shot, anti-trap functionality) and air conditioning. Stowage provision includes an illuminated glovebox, a centre console tray and cup-holders.
Zetec trims feature ambient lighting and leather-clad elements, such as a three-spoke steering wheel and handbrake handle.
Entry-level Studio grades come with a choice of petrol and diesel engines, each paired with a five-speed manual gearbox.
A 1.25-litre 59bhp (or 81bhp) petrol unit delivers up to 54.3mpg and a 109g/km (or 114g/km) CO2 emissions figure.
A 1.5 litre 74bhp (or 94bhp) diesel engine returns as much as 78.5mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 94g/km. Ford’s Easy Fuel capless system ensures that you never inadvertently top up the tank with the wrong kind of fuel.
Technology and safety
A six-speaker sound system includes a radio and CD player, as well as Bluetooth connectivity and USB and AUX interfaces. If you are purchasing a Fiesta for your young son or daughter, the included MyKey technology is a definite asset. This promotes responsible driving by encouraging persistent use of seatbelts, and enables you to set upper speed limits and maximum audio volume.
Upgrade to Zetec grades for a DAB radio, a 4.2-inch display screen and Ford SYNC (including Emergency Assistance).
The Fiesta has been awarded a five-star rating by Euro NCAP, and driver aids include Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, Hill-start Assist and Electronic Stability Programme. Among the passive safety elements featured as standard are multiple airbags, seatbelt reminders and seatbelt pre-tensioners and load-limiters.
