History

At around 4.04 meters, the new model is seven centimeters longer than its predecessor, and it is also 1.2 cm wider. The external appearance has changed little compared to the previous model: the front of the vehicle, headlights, bonnet, side line and the roof appear the same at first glance, the most striking change are the rear lights, which are no longer placed next to the rear window, but clearly below it. The safety of the Fiesta has been further developed: seat belt tensioners and belt force limiters at the rear are standard; Furthermore, the bonnet and windshield wipers give way in the event of a collision with a pedestrian, the headlights are pressed into the body in the event of an impact. 

Only three-cylinder petrol engines are available for the model launch; the Fiesta ST is also getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost with cylinder deactivation . It was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2017 and developed 147 kW (200 PS). With it, the car accelerates to 100 km / h in 6.5 seconds. The diesel engines will continue to be produced with four cylinders. All Fiesta have an automatic start-stop system . 

Depending on the equipment, an up to eight-inch touchscreen monitor is installed, which is equipped with the latest SYNC3 infotainment generation . Fifteen different assistance systems are available for the model, some of which also depend on the equipment, including an emergency braking assistant that now also brakes for pedestrians at night, a parking assistant, a high beam assistant and adaptive cruise control . 

Fiesta ST

• The ST-Line became available at the same time as the Fiesta Vignale . The ST-Line models have a honeycomb grille on the radiator grille, side skirts , a modified rear bumper, a sporty chassis and 17-inch light alloy wheels and are based on the ST models from Ford. This line continues in the interior with a dark Headliner, sports seats in the front, aluminum pedal pads, as well as the steering wheel, door sills and floor mats in the ST-Line design. A manually controlled air conditioning system and the SYNC3 entertainment system complete the standard equipment.

• As with both previous models, the Fiesta ST is the sportiest version of the Fiesta with the most powerful engine in the series. With this series, the Fiesta ST is also offered with five doors for the first time. Deliveries began in summer 2018. The four-cylinder EcoBoost engine of the predecessor with 1.6 liter displacement was replaced by a newly developed three-cylinder EcoBoost with 1.5 liter displacement and cylinder deactivation. This makes the ST the first sports model from Ford with a three-cylinder engine. The engine output is around 15 kW (20 PS) higher than the previous model and is therefore 147 kW (200 PS). The engine has both direct and additional injectionManifold injection , which results in greater power output and thus greater efficiency at low speeds.  The standard equipment includes sports seats from Recaro, a lane assistant , a cruise control system, eight airbags, an emergency assistant, a manually controlled air conditioning system, automatic light control , a selective driving mode switch, ST design outside and inside, a sports chassis and size 7 alloy wheels , 5x17 in. A flap control , which should have a positive effect on the engine noise of the Fiesta, is also installed. In addition, a mechanical locking differential and traction control can be usedfor the start-up process ( Launch Control ), a gearshift indicator and LED headlights for low and high beam can be ordered at an additional cost. Limited slip differential, launch control, shift indicator, LED headlights and flap control are features that are available for the first time in a Ford Fiesta with this model.
