The subcompact hatchback gets a smaller trapezoidal grille, sweeping headlights with LED daytime running lamps and redesigned taillights.
In terms of equipment, the Fiesta will get the next-generation Sync voice-activated multimedia system and MyKey, the safety system that allows parents to limit a car’s top speed, stereo volume and more. It’s currently available on several Ford vehicles. Also new is the Active City Stop system, which automatically stops the car if a low speed crash is unavoidable.
The European-spec Fiesta hatchback will go on sale in Europe early next year; no word yet on when we’ll meet the U.S.-spec version.
