The Ford Fiesta
ECOnetic has arrived in dealership showrooms with a growing order bank
in place. The all-new Ford Fiesta – December's top-selling car – is the
latest to benefit from the ECOnetic package of extra fuel efficiency
refinements already available on Focus and Mondeo.
For the Ford
Fiesta ECOnetic, modifications include lowered suspension, aerodynamic
body styling and a gear change alert. Together these help to lower fuel
consumption to 76.3mpg and CO2 emissions to 98g/km.
Since the
all-new Ford Fiesta went on sale in October, interest in the range's
most frugal variant has soared, with over 500 Fiesta ECOnetics already
ordered by customers.
The ECOnetic's
subtle but effective efficiency refinements achieve unrivalled fuel
economy and emissions. Debuting on Fiesta ECOnetic is a 'smart' gear
change indicator in the instrument panel which senses the way the
vehicle is being driven – taking account of road gradient, vehicle load
and individual driving style – to signal the optimum change point.
