Ford Fiesta Sets New Benchmark for Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiency meets style and the latest technology in the new 2014 Ford Fiesta.

Fuel efficiency meets style and the latest technology in the new 2014 Ford Fiesta. The new look of the Ford Fiesta is sleek and contemporary both inside and out. But that is nothing compared to the fuel efficiency of this subcompact non-hybrid vehicle.

Most Ford Fiesta models boast of 38 mpg on the highway and 27 mpg in the city, making for a combined estimated fuel economy of 31 mpg. This is due to the efficiency of the engine and the vehicle's lightweight, compact design. These are impressive numbers, but they get even better.

The Fiesta SE model has an option for the EcoBoost Package. This includes a 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine that features an astounding 45 mpg on the highway, and 32 mpg city, for a combined 34 mpg. These numbers are unheard of for a non-hybrid car that takes regular fuel. For this reason it is officially the most fuel efficient non-hybrid car in America.

Don't let the small EcoBoost engine fool you. Its compact design maximizes fuel efficiency, but it's the turbocharging that gives it the performance. Pair that with how lightweight this vehicle is, and you will find this car's performance is optimal.

Even the base model of the Fiesta performs well. On paper it shows a low 120 horsepower, but again paired with its lightweight and nimble handling, it is made both efficient and impressive.

Fuel efficiency is only one of the characteristics that make this car a hot commodity. Taking on the charm of European design, the new Ford Fiesta is sleek and sporty. Both the sedan and the hatch versions come in ten vibrant colors with an option for an exterior body kit graphics package to make it uniquely yours.

The design carries over into the cockpit where it is both contemporary and comfortable. With attention to every detail, the Ford Fiesta offers a highly functional center console with many other options. When adding the Sporty Performance look, the Fiesta ST is adorned with ST-unique wheels, trim, and a unique sporty interior.

To keep up with the latest in technology, the Ford Fiesta includes the electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) and Torque Vectoring Control to create responsive handling and stability. The key fob allows you to open the door and turn on the car with the fob tucked away in your pocket or purse. An optional navigation system is available with SiriusXM traffic as well as a rear view camera to give a clear picture of what's behind you.

Other options on the Ford Fiesta include SYNC with MyFord Touch that help you connect to your popular mobile applications hands free. To step it up even further, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, a rear spoiler, 16-in painted aluminum wheels, leather trimmed heated seats, and heated exterior mirrors are available.

One thing is for sure, the Ford Fiesta is not your average fuel efficient vehicle. Yes, it is an industry leader in fuel efficiency, but more than that, it was created with style and comfort in mind. There is no need to sacrifice with the Ford Fiesta. It has it all: performance, fuel efficiency, and fun.
