The Fiesta was born in Europe in 1976. It was the representative compact car of European Ford, but the new Fiesta, under Ford's "One Ford" strategy, is being rolled out globally as a global product alongside models like theFocus"Focus".

The powertrain features Ford's most compact engine, which won the "International Engine of the Year" award for two consecutive years in 2012 and 2013.The 997cc, 3-cylinder "EcoBoost" engineis equipped. Combining direct injection and advanced turbo technology with "Ti-VCT (Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing)", and controlled by an optimized control module, it delivers low fuel consumption while producing a maximum output of 74kW (100ps) at 6,000rpm and a maximum torque of 170Nm (17.3kgm) at 1,400-4,000rpm.

The exterior reflects Ford's "One Global Design Language," an evolution of the dynamic Kinetic Design. It features a distinctive trapezoidal grille with chrome bars, sharp, upward-sweeping headlamps, a beltline and crease line that run in a straight line from front to rear, and taillamps with a three-dimensional honeycomb design. These elements beautifully and powerfully convey its excellent driving dynamics.
