2009 Ford Fiesta ECOnetic

Description

Bringing style and new levels of low-CO2 efficiency, Ford of Europe's most frugal car - the new Ford Fiesta ECOnetic - headed the Fiesta range at 2008 Paris Show. Powered by a specially-calibrated version of the 90 PS 1.6-litre Duratorq TDCi, combined with coated Diesel Particulate Filter, Ford's most economical Fiesta can travel 100 kilometres using just 3.7 litres of fuel, on the EC Combined Cycle. This impressive fuel economy is matched with a class-leading CO2 output of 98 grams per kilometre - making Ford Fiesta ECOnetic the lowest CO2 vehicle in both its segment and Ford's European range.

Extra-urban highway fuel economy is even better - Ford Fiesta ECOnetic requires just 3.2 litres to cover 100 kilometres. Yet this efficiency is not at the expense of driving quality or performance, with Ford Fiesta ECOnetic reaching 0-100 km/h in 12.3 seconds and a top speed of 178 kph. This is because Fiesta boasts the same attention to detail as earlier ECOnetic models, with improved aerodynamics, low rolling resistance tyres and enhanced lubrication to achieve best possible CO2 and fuel consumption. Lowered ride height and aerodynamic details such as wheel covers and wheel deflectors build on Fiesta's already streamlined drag co-efficient (Cd) of 0.33. At the <b>...</b>
