2015 Ford Fiesta

With either the standard 1.6-liter four-cylinder or the available award-winning 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine, Fiesta offers outstanding efficiency to complement its personalization features that let drivers create a small car to suit their individual style.

While the diminutive size of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost saves cash at the pump, it does not hold anything back on the road. EcoBoost is fundamental to Ford’s strategy to provide technologically advanced, high-output, smaller-displacement powertrains that deliver performance and efficiency.

In addition to its new EcoBoost engine, Fiesta boasts a fantastic suite of technologies and features that give drivers the perfect blend of a connected world and an untethered driving experience. An available MyFord Touch system with 6.5-inch touchscreen featuring enhanced voice control provides drivers with more options than ever for navigation, communication and entertainment functions.

Fiesta still features SYNC AppLink capabilities pioneered on the previous Fiesta, which allows for access and control of Ford-approved smartphone apps with voice commands and vehicle controls on the go, helping drivers keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Inside, things are expressive. The dashboard design and available leather steering wheel and seats amplify the modern interior and entice drivers to get in the car and get on the move.

A selection of ambient lighting options allows Fiesta drivers to set just the mood they want. Also available is a new Sony Audio and HD Radio with satellite system, along with eight premium speakers for drivers to more fully appreciate their music.

Base model estimated mpg: 31/43. Estimated starting price: $17,240.
