The sixth-generation Ford Fiesta was introduced in Europe in 2008, where the hatchback was available in 3-door (with optional S, Sport S packages) and 5-door body styles. For some other markets, a sedan was included in the lineup. In 2013, the model underwent a restyling.
Exterior
The appearance of the car became more interesting and sporty: narrow pointed headlights and red-and-white lights at the rear, a smooth transition of the windshield to the roof, dynamic side lines and visually expanded wheel arches.
Standard for all configurations (except for sports) will be 15-inch steel wheels, optional – 16-inch.
In the new generation, the overall dimensions of the hatchback have increased again.
Wide hexagonal grille for the 5-door version, updated front bumper and niches under the fog lights appeared with the restyling of 2013.
Interior
The interior of the sixth Ford Fiesta seems more spacious, given the initial compactness of the car. The capacity of the luggage compartment in the hatchback is 295 liters, in the sedan – 455 liters. The quality of finishing materials has noticeably improved, but the price has increased. A harmonious color scheme is chosen for the upper part, side door panels, interior walls and seat trim. Noise insulation is an order of magnitude higher than the previous generation.
The dashboard with turquoise illumination. Above the archaic set of multimedia control buttons on the center console there is an LCD screen of CD/MP3 audio system with 6 speakers, optionally there is a function of navigation support.
