The Fiesta ECOnetic was voted the most fuel-efficient and least CO2 emitting passenger vehicle ever. It is powered by a Duratorq TDCi diesel engine that produces 95HP (71kW) as well as 205Nm (161lbft) of torque. It achieves a 3.3l/100km (86mpg im) and CO2 emissions at 87g/km.
Ford claims that half of its European sales will feature ECOnetic-equipped models by 2012, and the number will rise to two-thirds by 2013.
Ford ECOnetic technology includes Auto-Start/Stop, Smart Renewable Charging, Eco Mode and Shift Indicator Light. It also features optimised gear ratios, lower suspension and undershield, as well as wheel deflectors.
The fiesta ECOnetic is being produced at Ford’s Cologne Assembly plant, Germany. It will be available as a three-door or five-door model and in a range of trim levels depending on the market.
