Ford announces pricing for baby sedan

The latest WT Series Fiesta sedan and five-door hatch models have landed in Australia, the Thai-built line-up keeping a competitive edge on pricing despite an increase in equipment levels across the board.

Previously priced from $16,090, the revised Fiesta range now begins at $16,990, the modest increase a result of model consolidation that has seen the slow selling three-door hatch ditched from the local line-up.

Now offered with a choice of 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines (diesel models available from Q1 next year), the Fiesta also scores a state-of-the-art Powershift dual-clutch automatic transmission, the six-speed Getrag unit replacing the four-speed automatic / 1.4-litre petrol engine combination offered previously.

Available in two model variants, entry-level CL and mid-spec LX, the new Fiesta sedan models boasts seating for five and a generous 430-litre cargo capacity.

Hatch models add a diesel powerplant to its LX and sporty Zetec models. The fuel-sipping European-sourced Fiesta ECOnetic hatch is unchanged.
