Ford's best seller in Europe, the Fiesta now receives state-of-the-art mild hybrid engines. Thanks to a reinforced 48V electrical system, the city car reduces its consumption by 5%, and even by 10% in urban use.
In practice, an alternator-starter makes it possible to recover and store energy in a 48-volt battery during the deceleration and braking phases. This energy can then be returned to help the gasoline engine during acceleration or to power on-board equipment, which also reduces consumption.
For the most powerful engines
This hybrid technology will be available on 1.0 EcoBoost 125 and 155hp engines with manual gearbox. The Ford Fiesta Van, whose volume of 1m³ and payload of 531kg make it an excellent delivery tool in town, can also be ordered with the 1.0 EcoBoost Hybrid version of 125hp. The prices of these new versions have not yet been announced.
