Ford has made a smooth-shifting new addition to the Fiesta range, in the form of the new Durashift automatic transmission models.
The refined transmission is matched to the Fiesta’s new 1.4-litre, 96PS Duratec petrol engine, with a responsive character that benefits from a lighter, yet stronger, body structure, roughly 40kg lighter than the car it replaced.
This ensures ‘auto’ convenience does not significantly compromise performance or economy, with the new Fiesta automatic achieving 0-62mph in 13.9sec, while delivering 43.4mpg and a CO2 rating of 154g/km.
The car’s electronic throttle is tuned to respond differently, depending on how much and how sharply it is applied. More aggressive throttle inputs generate a sharper, sportier response, while gentle throttle inputs deliver a smoother, progressive feel.
The 1.4-litre automatic completes the Fiesta’s UK engine and transmission line-up and is offered with Style+, Zetec and Titanium trim.
Ford Fiesta product manager Chris Muers said: “Typically, around 10 per cent of small car buyers specify an auto option, so convenience technology is an important addition to a range that now offers an option for every taste and need.”
Fiesta 1.4-litre automatic is on sale now, priced from £13,195 on the road.
