Ford Reveals Stylish New Fiesta; Advanced Technology Includes SYNC,
MyKey and 1.0-litre EcoBoost Engine
ￜ Ford unveils dynamic new Fiesta with sharper design and exclusive
features
ￜ Redesigned Fiesta delivers cutting-edge technology including Ford
SYNC voice-activated connectivity system, Active City Stop and the
European debut of MyKey
ￜ Fiesta will be equipped with the award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost
petrol engine to deliver expected best-in-class fuel economy
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 5, 2012 ￜ Ford today revealed the dynamic new version
of the best-selling Fiesta that features a sharper design and a host
of exclusive technology features.
The new Fiesta will be on stage tomorrow in Amsterdam at Ford's
special "Go Further" product event hosted by Ford President
and CEO Alan Mulally and attended by 2,500 dealers.
New Fiesta delivers an advanced package of technologies including
voice-activated in-car connectivity system Ford SYNC, Active City Stop
and the European debut of MyKey. It will also be equipped with the
acclaimed 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine to deliver expected
best-in-class fuel economy.
"Fiesta has been one of the world's best-loved small cars across
five decades, and the sporty appeal of the last generation Fiesta
inspired real passion among global compact car customers, contributing
to its status as the world's most successful small car," said
Martin Smith, Ford of Europe executive design director. "We had
to keep that vital part of Fiesta's make-up ￜ but we also wanted to
give it a more sophisticated look."
The new Fiesta marks the latest chapter in the journey of the popular
small car. Ford launched the first Fiesta in 1976 and has since sold
more than 15 million models around the world. New Fiesta features
design cues inspired by the latest Ford global design language and
concept vehicles.
The Fiesta's face is dominated by a trapezoidal front grille,
bracketed by laser-cut headlamps with daytime running lamps that use
LED technology, and features a power-dome bonnet design. The
redesigned Fiesta also delivers a harmonious and ergonomically
optimised interior.
Fiesta follows Ford's approach of democratising technology ￜ bringing
advanced features to a greater number of drivers for the first time ￜ
and will be unique among its European competitors in featuring Active
City Stop, a system designed to help drivers avoid low speed
collisions.
Ford SYNC in-car connectivity system delivers an unprecedented level
of connectivity, enabling owners to voice-activate phone calls and
music selection from devices connected via Bluetooth or USB. The SYNC
system includes Emergency Assistance, which directly connects the
vehicle occupants to local emergency services operators after an
accident, in the correct language for the region.
The new Fiesta will also feature the European debut of segment-first
MyKey, which will enable parents in particular to encourage safer
driving and limit their teenager's exposure to risk at the wheel. The
system allows owners to configure maximum speed and audio volume
limits. It also mutes audio until seat belts are fastened and ensures
driver aids, safety systems and more vigorous alerts cannot be
deactivated when used.
The 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine is the 2012 "International
Engine of the Year" and is expected to deliver best-in-class fuel
economy.
Ford will reveal more details about the new European Fiesta range at
the Paris Motor Show in September.
