"Ford Fiesta" (sedan): specifications, photos, owner reviews

"Ford Fiesta" - a sedan, which is an excellent choice for a person who needs a car for trips around the city and in close travel. The car is really solid, comfortable and attractive. He appeared in Russia last year, in the summer. What is it attractive to potential buyers? It is worth to tell about it.

Arrival of the model

Why did the "Ford Fiesta" (sedan) join the segment of B class cars? Well, the answer is simple. The fact is that the demand for cars of class C (there was once the leader of the "Ford Focus") began to fall recently. This is not about the countries of Europe, but about the Russian Federation. Because it was decided to please our compatriots novelty. Although the Ford Fiesta (sedan) has long been sold in European countries, but in Russia this compact car has become a novelty, but will it succeed and become popular when the segment has long been established on the leadership positions of Renault Logan "" Kia-Rio "and" Hyundai-Solaris "? Well, these cars, and really, budgetary and attractive, but" Ford "- it's still American production. And this fact alone is a significant plus. What about the other benefits? It's worth telling more about this.

Exterior

"Ford Fiesta" - a sedan with an interesting appearance. In fact, this same hatchback of this model, that's only with a modified rear end. The style of the car is original - corporate, you can say. There is something similar to both "Mondeo" and "Focus". The front part is decorated with a trapezoidal radiator grille and an unusual form of optics. The headlights seem to be stretched forward, and the bumpers are decorated in a sporty manner aggressively. Thanks to these details, the exterior looks very expressive. If you look at the model from the side, you can understand how well it has a suitable clearance for our Russian roads. Especially if we consider the back part.

In general, externally, "Ford Fiesta" - a sedan that can satisfy the taste of a lover of classic cars. No pretentiousness and excesses - everything is simple, cute, but with a certain "zest".

Interior

What about the car "Ford Fiesta"? Sedan, the photo of which is provided below, differs not only in a very attractive exterior, but also with a comfortable interior. He looks like the Ford-Ecosport showroom. And this is not a surprising fact. Both cars are built on the same platform. Yes, even in Russia, one and the other is going to Naberezhnye Chelny.

The torpedo rushes into the eyes, the upper part of which is very soft. The salon as a whole is ergonomic and nicely decorated. The steering wheel is comfortable, perfectly fits in the hand, it can be adjusted both on the flyout and on the angle of inclination. The original look is a stylish tachometer with a speedometer. The indicators from them are read perfectly. Other data that are displayed on the instrument panel are smaller, but still they can be easily read.

But the most attention is drawn to the central console. It has a rather unusual shape. And it is there that all the main control buttons are located, as well as various switches. Armchairs, by the way, are also maximally comfortable. They can also be adjusted in height. One thing: despite the fact that the "Fiesta" base is rather short, inside enough space - at least for the front passenger and the driver it will be enough with a vengeance.

Ford Fiesta (sedan): specifications

This is another important topic. Technically, the novelty of the "Ford" is unlikely to impress Russian customers with any improvements. Front mounted independent suspension from "McPherson", and from the rear - a collapsible and semi-independent beam. It is interesting that for our Russian customers, it was decided to install reinforced dampers. Another plus to all the increased ground clearance. The ground clearance was more than one and a half centimeter. That's just about the protection of the engine forgotten. As for this "Ford Fiesta" (sedan), the feedback was not entirely appreciative, car owners say that the result of this hindsight is the thick layer of dirt that forms under the hood after a trip through mud and puddles. It was found out during the test drives, it's not for nothing that after EuroNCAP this car got its full five stars.

Engines and gearbox

What else can you tell us about the model "Ford Fiesta" (sedan)? The characteristics are not unusual. "Potential buyers are offered cars with a gasoline -powered, 1.6-liter engine." There are several modifications, the weakest - 85 horsepower, The most powerful - on 120 "horses." The so-called "golden mean" in this case is a 105-horsepower motor.

The front-wheel drive car is equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed "automatic", which is equipped with a double clutch, known as Powershift. How do the motors fit into the new American sedan? 85-horsepower engine is equipped with only 5-band "mechanics", the unit for 120 "horses" equipped with only a 6-speed "automatic". And that "golden mean" can exist in both variants. To date, all engines are delivered to Russia from the British Ford plant, which is very important. Although in the near future I promise to launch the production of units in the Russian Federation.
