New Engines and Facelift for Ford Fiesta


Existing Fiesta

The bestselling Ford Fiesta is due to go on sale in December with a fresh new facelift and a new engine line up that includes the award winning 1.0 EcoBoost engine. The superb engine, which originated in the Ford Focus, is an impressive turbocharged 3-cylinder unit that will save the driver 10g/km in CO2 emissions compared to the equivalent in the existing Fiesta.

The engine will run to the tune of 125bhp which is outstanding for a 1.0 three cylindered unit. Other engines brought to the new Fiesta include 73bhp 1.5 TDCi and a 93bhp 1.6 TDCi, tipped to replace the 1.4 TDCi. Both these engines will bring a slight improvement to the existing diesel engines. 

Styling changes will include subtle changes that resemble the appearance of the new Fiesta ST, with a larger front grill and new headlamps. The car will make its official debut in the Paris Motor Show next month where everything about the car will be revealed. 

Despite the car being the UK’s to selling, there are currently no plans to sell the new 4-door Fiesta in the UK.
