Ford Fiesta is a stylish and good to drive tiny car that steals many cues from its larger siblings
Yes! Fiesta is a tiny car but it presents very large ideas and technologies from the cars which stand in the premium class. It borrows innovative technologies like keyless entry, Bluetooth hands-free and phone connectivity, and a modern system to prevent the mis-fueling.
Several features are its own that also appeals the customers and cast magic on them. It offers knee airbags as standard and a dash inspired from a mobile display.
Let’s dive into the engines compartment, the range starts with a tiny 1.25-litre petrol engine. It generates 60 bhp of power as standard that can be pushed up to 82 bhp. But neither version is particularly fast at zero to 62 miles per hour scale. Smaller one takes 16.9 seconds and other takes 13.3 seconds, making the Fiesta a better choice for the city cruising.
For the drivers who want to test the limits of the Fiesta models are advised to go for the ST model, but for perky driving experience, 1.0-litre Ford Fiesta engines are more than enough. With turbocharged EcoBoost technology, they surely are the great performer.
This specific engine delivers 123 bhp and covers zero to 62 miles per hour benchmark on the speedometer in just 9.4 seconds and keep pushing the car till it reaches the top speed of 122mph.
There is a lesser powered version also available with the same EcoBoost technology, it has packed 98 horses and takes 11.2 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour and has a top speed of 112 miles per hour.
Ford has mated this engine with the latest six-speed “PowerShift” automatic transmission to boost the driving pleasure. It has dual clutch technology that enables the Fiesta to be faster and smoother on the road with sleek gear shifts. In specific conditions, Ford claims the fuel economy of this motor 57.7 miles per gallon with 114g/km of carbon emissions.
