Two new engines for the 2014 Ford Fiesta

2014 ford fiesta In preparation for the auto show in Los Angeles, Ford unveiled two new engines that will be shipped in its subcompact Fiesta. This city will thus his proposal to spend three mills. It became suddenly, second car (with Smart) to be offered in our market with a mechanical three-cylinder. Performance enthusiasts will fall back on the ST, a more offender who target the Mini Cooper S.

Fiesta model year 2014 will then grow its catalog of options to make it very competitive. Its range of engines, the most comprehensive segment, will in theory to bridge the gap between the two poles of fuel economy and performance. The four-cylinder 1.6-liter (120 hp) which équipait since its debut in North America is in the plans.

The arrival of the three-cylinder turbocharged EcoBoost family member appears surprising at first sight. A small displacement for a continent that is still in love with large volumes, there seems to be lost in this mode of downsizing. On paper, however, the decision is expected. With a capacity of 1 liter, it is barely more powerful than the four-cylinder entry-level (123 hp), but there is more torque (148 lb-ft) with a more sober and consumption would fall by low of 5.8 litres/100 km on average according to Ford.

T, meanwhile, has a very different mandate, but equally important for the sustainability of the model. This version focuses on the dynamic aspect of the Fiesta. It is driven by another creation belonging to the clan Ecoboost, a four-cylinder 1.6 liter turbo delivering 197 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque (at 3500 rpm). The recipe is already salivating, especially if we take into account improvements to the chassis and its plumage is entitled to special treatment like its big brother, the Focus ST.
