EPA Rates Ford Fiesta at 45mpg on Highway

WESTLAND, Mich. - The Ford Fiesta has already proven itself to be a favorite among American drivers - now however, it's about to become even more popular, as the EPA has rated the Ford Fiesta at 45 mpg on the highway!

The 2014 Ford Fiesta comes with a new 1.0-liter Ecoboost engine that allows the Fiesta to get the best highway fuel economy of any non-hybrid, gasoline-powered car! Its highway fuel economy clocks in at 45 mpg, with 32 in the city and 37 mpg in combined driving. These numbers are beyond fantastic since they are close to the fuel economy numbers seen on most hybrids and diesels - a feat that is impressive for a car powered by gasoline.

Along with saving you money on fuel, the Ford Fiesta's 1.0-liter Ecoboost engine also boasts a quiet and smooth ride. Although tiny and almost silent, it produces 123 hp and 125 lb.-ft. of torque - that's more power per liter than a Lamborghini Aventador! The Fiesta's new engine also features an overboost function that allows the driver to make more than 145 lb.-ft. for up to 15 seconds.

EPA rates the Ford Fiesta at 45 mpg on the highway, making this a vehicle you should definitely consider getting behind the wheel of. So stop by our Southgate Area Ford Dealership and let us set you up with a test drive! If a small car is not for you, not to worry - we've got a great selection of new vehicles, used cars, and certified pre-owned cars for sale.

2014 Ford Fiesta Review

WESTLAND, Mich. - The Ford Fiesta has been an American favorite, having recently been voted the Women's World Car of the Year for 2013. This subcompact car has so much to offer, which is why we've compiled all the best aspects of the vehicle in a 2014 Ford Fiesta review.

First off, the Ford Fiesta is a great little car that is fun to drive. It comes standard with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 120 hp and 112 lb-ft of torque, and it gets about 29 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. It also goes from 0-60 mph in 9.5 seconds which is an average time for the Fiesta's class.

As for safety, the 2014 Ford Fiesta has antilock brakes, traction and stability control, hill launch assist, integrated blind-spot mirror, and more. In a brake test, the Ford Fiesta SES came to a stop from 60 mph in 119 feet which is one of the best distances in its segment. As for how it does with overall protection, the Fiesta received the highest possible rating in the frontal-offset, side and roof-strength tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

With great safety features and an engine that is actually pretty quick for the vehicle's size, the 2014 Ford Fiesta also handles like a dream. Although 120 hp doesn't seem like much, this subcompact car actually gets up to speed pretty quickly and does so smoothly. It's lightweight and nimble, allowing you to have complete control of your vehicle while having it drive smooth.

If you're looking for a car to only be used occassionally with the speed of a Mustang, this isn't the car for you. However, if you want a subcompact car for day-to-day use that is not only luxurious but also reliable and fuel-efficient, then this is the vehicle you've been looking for. We have a variety of Ford Fiesta vehicles on our lot, so stop by your Northville Area Ford Dealer today and we'll set you up with a test drive! If you decide the subcompact car isn't the one for you and our 2014 Ford Fiesta review hasn't convinced you, don't sweat it! We have a great collection of New Ford Cars and New Ford Trucks - all available for you to look over and take out.

Ford Doubles Small EcoBoost Engine Production - Coming to the U.S Soon

WESTLAND, Mich. - Ford Motor Company announced today that they will be doubling the production of their 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine, due to high demand. The Cologne, Germany based engine plant will now be making more than 1,000 engines a day, hoping to triple the yearly production to around 480,000 engines by 2015, compared to 141,000 in 2011.

The EcoBoost engine is a turbocharged, petrol engine that is designed to deliver the power and torque of a larger engine, while achieving around 20% better fuel efficiency and producing 15% less greenhouse gases. This eco-friendly engine is a step in the direction of green living, and was named the 2013 International Engine of the Year for the second year in a row.

Ford plans to double small EcoBoost engine production due to an increase in demand that stems partly from the fact that the EcoBoost engine will soon be sold in the United States. The engine will be featured in the new Ford Fiesta later this year. Although it has been available in Europe, this is the first time that the engine will be offered in a vehicle to the United States. Thanks to the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine, the 2014 Ford Fiesta is expected to reach 34 mpg, with an estimated 197 HP and 214 lb-ft torque with minimal turbo lag.

If you don't want to wait for the 2014 Fiesta, you can check out our 2013 Ford Fiesta Brochure. If you have any questions about the Fiesta, or simply want to get rid of your current vehicle, don't hesitate to stop in to your Plymouth Area Ford Dealership where we can show you our large selection of new and Certified Pre-Owned Cars For Sale.
