Ford Fiesta 2017–2023 car dimensions: 4040 mm long, 1735 mm wide and 1476 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,144 kg. Braked towing is 1,000 kg.
The cabin offers a clear driving position with height-adjustable seats and a tilting steering wheel. Most models have a 6.5-inch or 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard for easy phone integration. Manual air conditioning is common on base trims while automatic climate control appears on higher ones like Titanium. Cruise control is fitted on mid and upper grades. Lane-keeping assist comes standard to help stay in lane with steering input and alerts. Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot warning, parking sensors and a reversing camera are available on some trims or as options, making daily driving safer and simpler in traffic or tight spots.
The 3-door hatch provides 292 litres of boot space with seats up, enough for shopping or a couple of bags. Fold the 60/40 rear seats and it expands to 1093 litres for larger loads, though the floor is not fully flat and the load lip sits fairly high.
Braked towing capacity reaches up to 1000 kg on stronger engines such as the 1.0 EcoBoost, dropping to 750 kg on lower-powered versions. Unbraked towing sits around 555 kg. Payload is approximately 500 kg depending on the specific model and equipment.
The car suits light work or occasional trailer use but lacks heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension options for tougher duties. It handles everyday loads well thanks to its compact size and decent cargo flexibility.
The cabin offers a step up in quality with soft-touch materials and reduced buttons for a cleaner layout. Seats provide good support with available sport bolsters and partial leather on higher grades. An acoustic windshield cuts road noise for a quieter ride. Higher trims add heated front seats and an openable panoramic roof that lets in light while keeping the cabin cool.
Efficient small petrol and diesel engines with strong real-world economy.
Service intervals typically every 18,000 miles or two years on main petrol engines.
Five-star Euro NCAP rating from 2017 tests.
Standard safety includes multiple airbags, electronic stability control and ABS.
Fuel use stays low thanks to the range of efficient three-cylinder EcoBoost petrols and diesels. Higher-power versions still return solid economy in mixed driving while delivering lively performance for a small hatch.
Servicing follows set intervals that vary by engine, with oil changes and checks at regular mileages or yearly. Ford offers fixed-price plans for older cars that keep costs predictable.
Safety is strong with a five-star Euro NCAP score. The structure holds up well in crashes and standard kit covers airbags all round plus stability systems. Optional packs add cameras and sensors for everyday protection.
Keeping the car simple means following the service schedule and watching for known items like wet belt checks on EcoBoost engines. Parts remain widely available and running costs stay low for the class.
