Wednesday, February 29, 2012

Recently, Ford India launched a new Fiesta Automatic with an even more driver-friendly compact sedan with better fuel efficiency to face the current competition of Indian auto industry.

An online news portal about auto industry, www.zigwheels.com, writes about New Ford Fiesta Automatic, “Weighing just 73 kilos, this gearbox has been designed to work with engines producing a maximum of 250Nm of torque and hence is said to be far more efficient and smooth compared to any other auto box currently on offer in this pedigree of vehicles.

What’s more is that the Fiesta automatic also gets a feature called grade assist that intelligently selects lower gears while ascending or downshifts and uses engine braking while going downhill, a function that can be turned on or off by pushing a button next to the gear lever.”

Further it add about features and price of New Ford Fiesta Automatic, “Currently being offered only with the 1.5-litre Ti-Vct petrol engine that produces 109PS @ 6,045rpm and 140Nm@ 4500rpm, Ford claims its intelligent AT box needs no maintenance and comes with a life expectancy of 2,40,000km or 10 years whichever is earlier.

Sadly, there's no manual tiptronic option or even paddleshifts behind the steering wheel as on other dual clutch transmission cars, but for those who are already sold to this new age of stick-shift free locomotion, Ford has priced the new Fiesta Automatic at a starting price of Rs 8.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) for its basic Style variant and Rs 9.70 lakh for the high-end Titanium + (ex-showroom Delhi), which is quite understandable considering the basic high price range for the manual cars to begin with.”

So, New Ford Fiesta Automatic is an affordable car in Indian market to give the right competition for Honda City. New Ford Fiesta Automatic has attractive looks and stylish design to grab the Indian customers.
