2018 FORD Fiesta ST 1.5L EcoBoost 6MT FWD (200 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The small hot-hatch industry is a trend that gathers more and more fans around the world. Ford has launched a new version of the Fiesta ST in 2018, with more power and fewer cylinders. But it is not a slow car in its class.

The Fiesta ST looks a little bit angrier than the other siblings. There are a different bumper and a different grille. It can also be equipped with full LED headlights. On the side, the 18” light-alloy wheels are offered as standard. The nice thing about the Fiesta ST is that it is only in three doors. As a final touch of sportiness, in the rear on top, there is a roof spoiler and a rear splitter, plus two exhaust pipes for those 3 cylinders under the hood.

Inside, there is a nice welcome air of sportiness with the two Recaro bucket seats. The rear seats are just normal, nothing fancy. There is not much room in there, but they do exists and can be used for short distances. The infotainment system is good and offers a navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

On the performance side, the 1.5-liter turbo engine offers 200 hp mated to a 6-speed manual. A piece of great news is that there is also an LSD differential for the front wheels that plays its part in the 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) sprint, which is completed in 6.5 seconds.
