Ford Finally revealed the 2011 Fiesta. And as reported by Auto-Trivia previously, it was a just a revealing of the vehicle and not the launch. The launch date is 2-3 months still ahead from now. Ford has not given any launch date yet. Ford India’s Managing Director Michael Boneham and Marketing Director Nigel Wark pulled the wraps of the all new 2011 Ford Fiesta Sedan moments ago at Delhi today.
In the meanwhile, Ford will take bookings for the 2011 Fiesta, and initial deliveries are set to begin sometime in June, before which a formal launch, announcing the Fiesta’s prices will take place. Ford will be offering 1.6L TiVCT petrol engine churning out massive 118bhp power and 112nm torque and 1.4L TCDi 90bhp diesel engine.
As we reported earlier, Ford has got ample of features in this sedan. Cruise Control and Voice Control system and Automatic folding mirrors which are the 1st-in-class features. We are not getting the push start-stop system unfortunately. Ford has kept Dual Front SRS Airbags and ABS with EBD standard in all variants! This is the feature you should really appreciate for, because airbags and ABS with EBD are usually not standard in this segment cars in India and Ford has taken a step ahead here. But there is a negative also Ford is not offering 6 aribags option in the car. Nevermind, how many people really care about that in India? The car has High Intensity Energy Absorbing Body. Ford has not stated anything about 6-speed PowerShift Automatic Transmission and so the old 5-speed manual transmission only is expected. Connectivity features include Bluetooth for Music Streaming, Receiving calls,etc., Voice Control for calling people by just speaking their name or searching and playing the songs by just speaking their name,etc., iPod connectivity and USB. And also just like Figo it will also be having booming Bassy sound system of 4 speakers in door, most probably with subwoofers inside.
So, now it is very easy to say that Ford will create a strong impact in another segment other than hatchbacks. Just wait fr the launch. The pricing will be competitive, near to 7-7.5 lacs to 8.5-9 lacs.
Stay tuned to Auto-Trivia for more updates.
