The new Ford Fiesta
Van is now on sale from £9,025. Low running costs make this new entry
into the car-derived market a sound business decision. Frugal fuel
economy of up to 67.3mpg*, insurance groups of 1E and 2E and a choice of
engines and trim levels make it a class-leading package.

Car becomes a
van
A payload range from 490kg to 515kg gives customers a competitive option
for transporting their products. The rear side windows are replaced by
body-coloured solid panels, and the rear passenger seats are removed to
provide a load box area of 1,000 cubic litres, with a maximum useable
load length of 1,296mm, as well as a maximum load box width of 1,278mm
(1,000mm between the wheel arches) and a height of up to 806mm. A
half-height composite bulkhead and DIN-compliant tie-down hooks are
standard. |
Steve Kimber, Ford
of Britain's commercial vehicles director, said: "Fiesta Van is a main
player in the car-derived van market with around 25 per cent of all
sales. We expect to build on this, as more and more of today's
businesses look to keep their costs under control.
"The van model was
an integral part of the new Fiesta product plan and its superior quality
really shows. Being competitive has never been more relevant and that's
why Fiesta Van, with the range-topping SportVan, is a great addition to
our 2009 line-up."
The fuel efficiency
of the Fiesta Van is best in class: the petrol engine has combined fuel
consumption of 49.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 133g/km. Both
diesel engines have a combined fuel consumption of 67.3mpg and CO2
emissions of just 110g/km.
The new Fiesta Van
is available in three versions: Fiesta Van, the new "Trend" and "SportVan"
with prices starting at £9,025 for the  1.25
Duratec 82PS petrol to £10,780 for the SportVan 1.6 TDCi 90PS with
coated diesel particulate filter (cDPF). The addition of the Trend
series is set to appeal to a wider group of customers. It is ideal for
image-conscious businesses who may be delivering small packages,
transporting compact equipment such as meter reading tools or for the
site engineer who does not need a large capacity for tools.
