Ford Fiesta Hatchback: Reasons to buy

Ford is keen to step up its game in the hatchback segment because it is one of the growth areas of the automobile industry. To do so Ford has got its Fiesta hatchback at work. It is one of the best hatchbacks that you can buy in the country today. The Ford Fiesta hatchback price range starts from Php 755,000 for the 1.5-liter Trend M/T trim and goes all the way up to Php 905,000 for the top-end Sports trim with Ford’s EcoBoost engine. Here are a few reasons why you should buy the latest Ford Fiesta hatchback.

Dynamic looks

The first thing that you’ll notice, and probably be attracted by, in the Ford Fiesta hatchback is the pair of large headlamps. These are really huge for a car of this size, but somehow Ford pulled it off brilliantly. Each headlamp stretches from the front to the middle of the front wheel. Then there’s the signature trapezoidal front grille that will help you identify that its a Ford from quite a distance. The rear end of the Fiesta has been given a sporty touch by fitting a roof-mounted spoiler. Unlike the headlights, the tail lights appear to be of suitable size. Overall, Ford has done a great job in making the Fiesta a desirable hatchback.

Stylish interior

The dashboard layout of the Ford Fiesta hatchback seems to be inspired from an aircraft’s cockpit. It gives you the confidence to drive this quick hatch more enthusiastically. The meter cluster is also very stylish and attractive and is well lit. We also like Ford’s SYNC technology integrated into the infotainment system. It allows you to use certain voice commands like make hands-free phone calls, enjoy hands-free music, and entertainment, etc.

Peppy EcoBoost engine

Ford has included its famous and award-winning EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta hatchback specifications. It is available in the Sport trim. It produces 125 PS of max power at 6,000 revs and has been tuned to generate 170 Nm of peak torque at 1,400 to 4,500 revs. The numbers are good enough to bring a huge grin on your face when you floor the gas pedal as the Fiesta hatchback lunges forward and the figures climb quickly towards three digits. This 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine not only excels in providing unbeatable performance, but Ford has also spent umpteen number of hours in research and development to make sure that this engine is very fuel efficient as well.

Safety features

Ford has used Boron Steel, an ultra-high-strength steel which is 4 times stronger than normal high-strength steel, in the construction of the Fiesta hatchback. The high yield and tensile strength of Boron Steel allow Ford to form complex shapes that can be welded into key areas of the structure of the car, such as pillars and bumpers, to provide a ‘safety cell’ that does not add weight. Other safety features include Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with EBD, Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Hill Launch Assist (HLA), Seat Belt Pretensioners, etc. Ford also offers a total of 7 airbags in the top-end model.

Attractive color options

The paint scheme of a car also plays an important role to enhance the overall style. The Fiesta hatchback is already a very dynamic-looking car, but to make sure it hits the right chords and pull in more customers, Ford has provided some 6 color options - frozen white, shadow black, winning blue, red candy, mars red, and ingot silver.
