New Ford Fiesta now available with Durashift
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 Ford Fiesta's new 1.4-litre, 95 HP Duratec petrol engine, with a responsive character that benefits from new Fiesta's lighter yet stronger body structure, being approximately 40kg lighter than the car it replaced.
This ensures ‘auto' convenience does not significantly compromise performance or economy, with new Fiesta automatic achieving 0-100 km/h in 13.9sec, while delivering 5.4 liters/100 km and a CO2 rating of 154g/km on the EU combined driving cycle1.
Beyond core performance, development work has also refined the Ford Fiesta's accelerator pedal response and created a sporty driving quality, present even with the automatic transmission.
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.
Ford Fiesta product manager, Chris Muers, commented: "Typcially, 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."
