Ford Thailand announced it will unveil updates to its Fiesta offering, with E85 fuel compatible engines and a Black Limited edition, at the 37th Bangkok International Motor Show. The Show takes place at Impact Challenger, Muang Thong Thani from March 23 through April 3, 2016

The Black Limited edition of the stylish Fiesta comes in a sporty two-tone black and red, featuring red-edged grilles, black-painted alloy wheels, red side mirror covers, sporty fog lamp frames and sticker sets for roof and lift gate.

Additionally, Ford continues its commitment to delivering eco-friendly vehicles by improving the 2016 Fiesta's engine with gasohol E85 compatibility, providing more options for consumers who wish to use renewable and environmentally friendly energy at a lower price.

Fun and fuel efficient

The 2016 Ford Fiesta is equipped with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) as well as E85 flex fuel capability, and generates 112 horsepower and 140 Nm of torque. The Fiesta also features six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode, delivering significantly improved fuel efficiency.

Additionally, the driving experience of the Fiesta is enhanced by an electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) system, which provides precise steering with a natural and confident feel. With EPAS, steering is light and manageable for low-speed maneuvering, such as parking and precise at higher speeds.

Sporty exterior and stylish interior design

The Ford Fiesta boasts sharp, sporty lines all along its exterior and a suspension system tuned to achieve a joyful driving experience with excellent grip and cornering. The vehicle's body is made out of high-strength, lightweight steel.

The interior is furnished with high quality materials and comfortable front and rear seats, as well as cutting-edge technology to help drivers stay connected and in control. This includes SYNC, which provides greater convenience and safety by allowing drivers to use voice commands to control in-car communications and entertainment systems.
