The Ford Fiesta sedan is a new B-class player in Russia. What you need to know about the Ford Fiesta's ground clearance? Prices and options

Segment B of the Russian market is preparing to be replenished with a new, but at the same time already well-known to many car enthusiasts, model. We are talking about the compact Ford Fiesta, which from the summer of 2015 will be assembled at the facilities of the Ford Sollers joint venture in Naberezhnye Chelny. Interest in the release of the new product is fueled by the fact that now the model will be presented in Russia not only in a five-door version, but also in a sedan body. The start of car sales is scheduled for the 3rd quarter of this year. Information on prices and configurations will appear immediately before the first samples arrive at dealer showrooms.

Before you inspect new Ford Fiesta 2015-2016 from all sides and, of course, look under the hood, let’s take a moment to plunge into the history of the evolution of the model. And this history is very rich and goes back about 39 years. Back in 1976, with the approval of Henry Ford II, the grandson of the famous inventor and founder of the company, the first copy of the Ford Fiesta was produced. Since then, more than one generation has changed, and in 2008 the car was presented in its seventh generation. Four years later, a restyling was carried out, as a result of which a version of the Fiesta appeared, which to this day is successfully sold in many countries. In Europe, the model is offered exclusively as a hatchback and is incredibly popular. This is confirmed by repeated hits last years to 2nd place in the list of best-selling cars. As for the Ford Fiesta sedan, it is currently sold only in the markets of a number of American and Asian countries, including the USA.

In Russia, Fiesta hatchbacks were in good demand before the 2008 crisis. Then the popularity of the car waned, as a result of which in January 2013 it was decided to withdraw the model from the Russian market. However, already in August next year, company representatives announced the return of the five-door. And now it has become known about the intention of Ford Motor Co. Along with hatchbacks, we will establish production of Fiesta sedans in the Russian Federation. It is the sedan car that we will focus on in the current review.

One of the main trump cards designed to help the 2015-2016 Ford Fiesta gain a foothold in the domestic market should be the external design. It was this that first of all attracted the attention of many critics and experts after the appearance of the restyled version at the end of 2012. I must say that externally the Ford Fiesta sedan really looks stylish and modern. The front part of the car is formed by a raised hood, stretching almost to the A-pillars, slightly “squinted” headlights, a stylish trapezoidal radiator grille a la Aston Martin, a large bumper with a solid “skirt” and round fog lights hidden in special niches.

The profile of the Ford Fiesta is written in the spirit of classic sports sedans. The roof of the car falls dome-shaped towards the stern, the sides of the body flaunt original stampings, the wheel arches are outlined by powerful wings, the soaring window sill line is emphasized by a chrome strip, the side mirrors are made on stylish supports-legs.

Rear end The sedan is decorated simply, but, as they say, tastefully. Compact marker lights, a trunk lid with a characteristic curve for a spoiler, and a neat bumper with widely spaced stripes of reflectors and plastic protection at the bottom organically fit into the design of the stern.

The interior of the Ford Fiesta sedan pleases not only with soft finishing materials, but also with the original design of the center console, the upper part of which is reserved for the multimedia system screen. Initial options The vehicle's equipment includes the installation of the SYNC system with a 4.2-inch display and voice control functions for the telephone/audio system. Top versions of the sedan can boast a more advanced SYNC with MyFord Touch complex with a 6.5-inch touch screen that provides additional capabilities for controlling vehicle systems. High-quality Sony acoustics, a real find for music lovers, are also the prerogative of expensive modifications of the sedan.

In general, there are no big questions about the ergonomics of the driver's seat and the layout of the interior as a whole. The front seats allow you to sit very comfortably, which helps wide range adjustments, albeit mechanical ones. Three-spoke steering wheel It fits well in your hands, and the instrument cluster hidden under the visor makes it easy to read information. Visibility from the driver's position is also excellent.

If the front passengers of the Fiesta feel quite at ease, then the rear passengers may experience a certain lack of freedom, especially if three of them try to sit together. The reason for this is the sedan’s modest dimensions and not the largest wheelbase, even by segment standards. However, two medium-sized riders can fit in the second row without any complaints.

The main advantage Fiesta sedan over the hatchback is much more spacious trunk. With the backrests raised rear seats The sedan is ready to accommodate up to 465 liters of cargo, while its five-door “brother” can only accommodate 281 liters. From this point of view, the four-door is more suitable for outdoor trips in a large company. Even large bags and suitcases will fit into the trunk of a sedan without difficulty, the only negative is the decent loading height, which makes you seriously sweat when packing very heavy items.

The list of options available for the new Ford Fiesta 2015-2016 includes climate control, on-board computer, engine start function from a button, navigation system, rear view camera, heated front seats, electric drive and heated side mirrors, rear parking sensors, cruise control, panoramic sunroof. How these options will be distributed among trim levels will become known after the start of sales of the car.

Let's start getting acquainted with the technical characteristics of the Ford Fiesta by indicating the overall dimensions of the sedan. The length of the car body is 4409 mm, width and height are 1722 and 1473 mm, respectively. The wheelbase of the car is 2489 mm.

In the European market, Fiesta hatchbacks are sold with a wide range of power units of different calibers. Among them is the liter petrol unit of the EcoBoost family, which has been awarded a number of awards for technical innovation. If we talk about the Ford Fiesta sedan, then in Russia it will be offered only with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, however, in several boost options: 85, 105 and 120 hp. It will be paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission gears, or a 6-speed “robot” Powershift.

Without exception, all modifications of the Fiesta are available in front-wheel drive. The car's suspension is made using MacPherson struts at the front and a semi-independent torsion beam at the rear. The chassis is traditionally distinguished by its high reliability and ability to hold its trajectory well even during active cornering; it is not for nothing that Ford rally cars were created on the basis of the Fiesta. Brake system The sedan consists of front disc and rear drum mechanisms. Steering equipped with an electric booster.

The 2015-2016 Ford Fiesta sedan is about to enter an extremely saturated segment, which is occupied by such strong players as, Nissan Almera, And . They can only be squeezed out with the help of an attractive price tag, which will largely depend on the degree of localization of production. Work in this direction is underway, for example, power units are planned to be produced at the plant in Yelabuga from 2016.

It is assumed that new model The 2019 Ford Fiesta will be no exception - the hatchback is already eagerly awaited.

The start of sales was announced last summer, but so far the Ford Fiesta Sedan has not entered the Russian market. We can only wait that sales or pre-order of models will be opened in the coming months. In the meantime, since 2019, Ford Fiesta cars are available in the USA and some European countries.

By the way, in terms of security car row is among the top three worldwide, which is an undeniable plus.

Ford Fiesta is a very recognizable model range. Although the description of the new model differs from previous versions, on the street it is simply impossible not to recognize the car or confuse it with cars from other manufacturers.

Because the target audience The 2019 Ford Fiesta is young, and the style of the car is appropriate. The model has a sporty, daring design with a sharp difference in lines and body levels.

Exterior

The hexagonal elongated radiator grille and massive optics are what primarily stands out in the photo of the Ford Fiesta. The fog lights are ideally located at the bottom of the bumper. The new 2019 Ford Fiesta is also distinguished by the smooth transition of the hood to the roof. This not only allows you to pick up speed faster when driving, but also matches the new exterior perfectly.

The Fiesta sedan has a side part in the shape of a small ladder. The model can also be equipped with 18-inch wheels. The rear of the Ford Fiesta hatchback is not much different from previous versions: massive bumper, horizontal parking lights and a minor luggage compartment window. Side windows also very compact.

But the distinctive feature of the 2019 Ford Fiesta is still new body. The sloping roof and smooth lines throughout are an undeniable advantage of the model compared to many other modern competitors.

Also many drivers in this model range The Ford Fiesta has an excellent color palette. Here you can find several shades of red, blue, gray.

Even in its base form, the 2019 Ford Fiesta is equipped with many modern options and technologies. Also, only low-cost, high-quality materials are used for interior decoration, which ensures driving comfort and durability of the finishing materials.

The digital display of the on-board computer is one of the updates to the center console. Now the universal screen allows you to control the car, monitor many indicators of its performance, as well as watch videos or listen to music while driving.

The front row of Ford Fiesta seats can be adjusted at will, setting the desired level of seat height and tilt. In some variations of the model with an expanded configuration, the same will be available for rear-row passengers. By the way, it is possible for them to regulate the climate for their row separately from the first.

Although the dimensions of the cabin cannot be called too impressive, it can accommodate passengers without any problems.

An additional bonus of the Ford Fiesta will be a variety of different drawers, pockets, shelves and more to accommodate the necessary things. Depending on the selected type of version, their number and location will differ.

At the same time, you need to understand that the final configurations and prices will become known when the pre-order of cars starts. In the meantime, the manufacturer can still change the price, as well as add some features to the restyled version of the Ford Fiesta.

The manufacturer has already preliminarily decided on prices on the European market - there the simplest version of the Ford Fiesta will cost about 14 thousand dollars. But at what prices sales will start in Russia and which of the 4 main configuration options will be presented is not yet known. It is expected that this figure will be at the level of 670-820 thousand rubles.

It all depends on what engines will be supplied for Russian cars - original or manufactured in other countries where the manufacturer has representative offices.

Specifications

Specifications The Ford Fiesta isn't exactly attractive. The car is not very powerful. But this is enough to use the model as a “workhorse”. The main parameters include:

• motor with a power of 85-130 hp;
• type of fuel consumed: gasoline or diesel;
• Ford Fiesta engine has a volume of 1-1.5 liters;
• Ford Fiesta has gasoline engines with 3 cylinders and diesel engines with 4;

Some parameters of the updated Ford versions Fiesta 1.6 may vary depending on the model type selected. Therefore, you need to pay attention to this in advance, since it is difficult to change the technological parameters of the car (for example, the engine) in the future.

A separate advantage of the Ford Fiesta is the presence of manufacturer service centers in major cities of Russia. Thus, if Ford Fiesta suddenly needs repairs or the owner wishes to do additional tuning, to improve power capabilities, this can be done not only with the help of qualified model specialists, but also without waiting a long time for the supply of the necessary parts.

The Ford Sollers company announced the entry into the Russian market of a new product - a compact Ford sedan Fiesta. The new four-door Ford Fiesta sedan will be produced in Russia at the Ford Sollers JV plant in Naberezhnye Chelny side by side from the 7th generation. Start of sales of the new Ford Fiesta sedan 2015-2016 model year scheduled for autumn 2015, the price of the new product has not yet been determined, but we can hope that thanks to Russian assembly models ( full cycle production) the cost of a B-class sedan from Ford Motor Company will be acceptable and competitive.

The current generation Ford Fiesta sedan debuted in 2012 in Brazil at the Sao Paulo International Auto Show and is available to car enthusiasts in South America, India and even the USA. The price of the Ford Fiesta sedan in North America is just under $14,000 for a car with a 1.6-liter 120 horsepower engine with a 5-speed manual transmission and fairly rich basic equipment.
The Ford Fiesta sedan is based on the front-wheel drive platform of the Ford Fiesta hatchback, but thanks to the larger rear overhang of the body, it has a longer overall length and, accordingly, more spacious luggage compartment.

• External dimensions The body of the 2015-2016 Ford Fiesta sedan is 4406 mm long, 1722 mm (including external rear view mirrors 1977 mm) wide, 1475 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2489 mm. When installing tires 195/55 R15 or 195/50 R16, the front wheel track is 1465 mm, the track rear wheels- 1448 mm, ground clearance(clearance) - 160 mm.

The new compact sedan Ford Fiesta demonstrates a bright, playful and dynamic exterior design, which is not typical for a budget car.
Stylish narrowed headlights, a powerful front bumper with a solid trapezoidal false radiator grille, neat foglights and a bright aerodynamic body kit, a sloping hood with charismatic stampings - this is the front of the sedan.
Body profile with a domed roof line flowing down to a solid stern, a high ascending window sill line, powerful stampings above the wheel arches, a stylish edge defining the doors, and exterior mirrors on powerful supports. I would like to say that this is a powerful sports sedan.
The rear part of the body is quite simple, but at the same time functional and very attractive. The trunk lid has an original shape, stylish lamp shades, a large bumper with curvaceous shapes.
Yes, even in the photo of the four-door Ford Fiesta sedan 2015-2016 model year it looks very bright and stylish, in a word - decent.

The interior of the new Ford Fiesta sedan almost exactly repeats the interior design of the platform hatchback. A comfortable steering wheel, an informative instrument panel, a stylish and original center console, comfortable front seats with pronounced lateral support bolsters, neat assembly and high-quality finishing materials. But the most important difference from the hatchback is the ability of the sedan trunk to accommodate 465 liters of cargo with the rear seat backs in the standard position.
The basic equipment for the Ford Fiesta sedan with the most powerful 120-horsepower engine includes a driver's seat microlift, steering column height and depth adjustment, air conditioning, central locking with remote control, electric windows, a pair of front airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, TCS, HLA and EBL, electric exterior mirrors with turn signal repeaters, on-board computer, SYNC audio system (3.5-inch color screen, radio, CD MP3- player, Bluetooth and USB).

It is possible that in order to reduce the initial cost of the new Ford Fiesta sedan for the Russian market basic equipment will be equipped to a minimum.

Specifications The new Ford Fiesta sedan 2015-2016 for Russia means the presence of one 1.6-liter gasoline engine, capable of producing 85, 105 or 120 power, depending on the settings. The engine is paired with a 5 manual transmission or robotic box PowerShift transmissions with 6 steps.
Front disc brakes, rear with drum mechanisms, electric power steering, independent front suspension with MacPherson struts, semi-independent rear suspension with a bending beam.
This interesting compact Ford Fiesta sedan will appear in Russia very soon. Whether the newcomer is able to properly compete with the recognized leaders of the B-class sedan (, and) will most likely depend on the price, which, by the way, promises to be attractive.

Mileage: 6500 km

Overall, the car is not perfect. But it’s a pleasure to own, it’s comfortable, quiet, and economical. I haven't regretted the purchase yet. However, I will be picky.

1. The car is controversial, first of all, its design.

2. Next, spare parts are expensive! If you can find inexpensive analogues for consumables. Then, if you need to find any part (handle, button, body part, etc.), there are no analogues. For example, I bought cruise control buttons, 3 tyr. And these are simple damn BUTTONS!

3. Metal, like everyone else modern cars thin, ala “foil”. When driving slowly through potholes: you feel like the body is walking, door rubbers squeak due to body movement, in cold weather a cracking sound is noticed in the area windshield maybe this is due to frozen ice or still because of the body. On the other hand, perhaps this was done on purpose so that during an impact, the deformation of the body absorbs the impact energy, i.e. for safety. Also, during normal driving, on normal roads in cold weather, a cracking noise is heard rear window, this is caused by the fact that the snow melting on the glass flows down to the trunk lid, the gap between the glass and the trunk lid is approximately 3 mm, and the water freezes there, which leads to the sound (only in the sedan).

4. The car is comfortable, handles well, and handles the road well. But there is not enough space for rear passengers. Large trunk the sedan has a low crossbar between the luggage compartment and the passenger compartment, which in turn causes difficulties when transporting long loads.

5. The fan speed and air temperature controls are not conveniently located; personally, I would swap them. The knob for adjusting the air direction is not convenient; it is difficult to turn with gloves, since there are not enough hooks.

6. The head light is not sufficient in urban conditions, however, on the highway I did not feel a lack of light. PTF does not fundamentally solve the problem.

7. Ford is a designer car. Allows you to add “goodies” from older trim levels, which in turn influenced the choice of trim level.

8. I really liked the acoustics head unit completely satisfying. But there is small problems with unstable reception of radio stations, Ford has had this problem for a long time, replacing the antenna does not solve the problem, it may be necessary to lay a better/thicker wire from the antenna to the radio.

9. Open windows rattle, not critical if you have air conditioning. It’s better to have the windows closed to breathe less dust than to complain about the windows rattling.

10. Consumption is generally good, it all depends on how long you stand still and how long you drive. You stand for a long time, you drive a little, the consumption is high. You cost little, you travel for a long time, consumption is low. On the spot it consumes 0.6-0.7 l/hour, on the highway at 120 km/h it consumes approximately 5.6 l/100km.

11. The seats are comfortable, there was no discomfort during long driving.

12. According to the Ford database, the car was produced on February 2, 2016 and a week later I already had it. Operated exclusively in urban conditions when driving short distances. In December of the same year, the battery charge according to the BC is 11.8 V, which indicates that the battery is almost discharged.

13. Despite the fact that the battery voltage at -21C was 11.8 V, the car starts easily.

14. At low temperatures, the car warms up to the first division in about 3-4 minutes, as I already wrote, the first square is temp. engine corresponds to +35C.

15. According to BC, when idle at a traffic light, the engine cools down by 2-3 degrees in the cold. In cold weather, I measured to what temperature the engine would cool down at idle. did not conduct. This is a feature of internal combustion engines with aluminum block cylinders

16. In humid weather and cold weather, they squeak when you start driving. brake pads when braking.

17. At sub-zero temperatures, after driving over uneven surfaces (speed bumps, holes, etc.), you can hear the sound of rubber/plastic rubbing from the front suspension. I blame poor tightening of the fender liner screws after installing the PTF.

18. Considering the small capacity of the washer reservoir, it lasts for a long time. On cars manufactured since the fall of 2016, the washer reservoir should already be 5 liters.
