The new Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost went on sale in the middle of last year (2013) for the 2014 model.
This version of the new styled Fiesta range incorporates the new front end Ford Kinetic design. It has the new styled front grille and headlight design. For the European market, the new Fiesta is available with front adjustable height headlights, start-stop system and standard summer rubber. Like previous versions of the Fiesta, this car is great to drive, value for money and the 1.0L EcoBoost is particularly economical.
Have a look at the video below which shows the new 2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost:
The 1.0L EcoBoost engine first made an appearance on the Ford Focus and due to the weight of the Focus, this had an affect on the performance of this engine. As the new Fiesta is over 200Kg lighter than this Focus version, it makes all the difference in terms of performance. This allows the Fiesta to do 0-60mph in under 10 seconds. This engine has 123bhp and can offer up to around 65mpg.
This 1.0L EcoBoost petrol engine was never intended to meet the needs of those seeking high performance levels. If this is what you are after, why not have a look at the Fiesta ST which has 197bhp and went on sale around the same time as the 1.0L EcoBoost.
The 1.0L EcoBoost is a 3-cylinder engine which makes it shake and feel slightly rough. This car has an upgraded interior design which is probably the best in the supermini class. It boast the MyFord Touch technology and makes for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
