A NEW LEAN, MEAN, GREEN FIESTA MACHINE
IT’S FIESTa time at Ford as the small family favourite hatchback gets a refreshed new range, stretching from a frugal ‘green’ eco hybrid to a sporty ST hot-hatch in ‘Mean Green’.
and the refreshing mid-cycle spruceup comes just in time, too, as the car that took the top sales crown in 2019 and 2020 has, this year, been
chasing the tail of its arch-rival, the Vauxhall Corsa.
Priced from £16,620, order books for the new Fiesta range have just opened for delivery in early 2022.
They offer a bolder exterior with sharper new styling tweaks, enhanced technology and mild hybrid powertrains to make the compact hatchback ‘futureready’, says Ford.
Fans of hot hatches can enjoy the new Ford Performance-developed Fiesta ST priced from £22,600 to £25,255.
Powered by a 200 horsepower (hp) 1.5-litre EcoBoost engine, the Fiesta ST offers acceleration from zero to 62 mph in 6.5 seconds up to a top speed of 143 mph.
For more eco-friendly driving, the firm’s electrified Ford EcoBoost Hybrid 48-volt mild hybrid range — priced from £18,860 to £21,630 — helps save fuel and reduce emissions. The new Fiesta’s one-litre EcoBoost Hybrid engine is
available with 125 hp and 155 hp power outputs, combined with a six-speed manual transmission offering 48mpg and CO2 emissions from 111 g/km.
The 125 hp EcoBoost Hybrid is also available with a seven-speed, Powershift dual-clutch automatic transmission, delivering 45.2 mpg fuel efficiency and 117 g/km CO2.
Ford’s standard one-litre EcoBoost engine comes with 100hp and delivers 45.2mpg and 118g/km CO2 with a six-speed manual transmission.
Trim level variants cover Trend, Titanium, ST-Line and active, plus new upmarket Vignale packs that
‘amplify’ the top three trims with luxury specifications.
