ECOnetic

Customers now have a choice they didn’t have before, giving them a great ‘green’ line-up of Fiesta models to choose from.  The three ECOnetics models  all have the Dagenham-built, specially calibrated version of the 1.6 litre, 95PS Duratorq TDCi engine with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) which gives a combined 78.5 mpg.  By combining aerodynamic body styling, lowered suspension, low resistance tyres and low friction oil all help the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic achieve an ultra low CO2 emission of only 95g/km of CO2, which is 3g/km less than the previous version. Additionally a green shift indicator in the instrument cluster highlights the optimal point to change gear to maximise fuel economy, and makes it zero road TAX.

Anthony Ireson, Ford of Britain marketing director, said: "Many drivers want to drive a car with lower emissions but still want comfort, performance and an affordable price. Expanding ECOnetic across the series answers that demand, with style."

The new range of ECOnetic models in the Fiesta range start with Edge ECOnetic, which includes Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), air-conditioning, lowered suspension, aerodynamic improvements and low rolling resistance tyres.
