There are upgrades to some of the trims: Studio models now get electrically adjustable/heated door mirrors, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, auxiliary entertainment socket and two additional speakers.
Flagship Titanium models also now get Bluetooth and USB connection as standard (previously worth around �200).
All models now have a new paint option called Ink Blue. The Titanium model can now be specified with a cheaper Titanium X pack. This consists of leather seats, 17� alloy wheels and rear electric windows for �750 (�1k previously), however, this pack is only available on the 1.6 litre petrol engine whereas it was also available on the 1.6 TDCi engine.
Ford has also retuned or altered much of the Fiesta's engine range. To comply with Euro V emissions standards, all diesel engines now have a particulate filter fitted, including Econetic models.
Power for the 1.6 TDCi diesel engine is also raised from 89bhp to 95bhp. Petrol engines have been tweaked as well to lower emissions:
� 1.25 litre 80bhp
CO2 emissions - 129g/km. Previously 133g/km, saving 4g/km
� 1.6 litre 95bhp
CO2 emissions - 107g/km. Previously 110g/km, saving 3g/km
� 1.6 litre 118bhp
CO2 emissions - 134g/km. Previously 138g/km, saving 4g/km.
The changes place the 1.25 litre engine into a lower VED band (D), lowering the tax from �110 to �90 a year.
The revised Fiesta is on sale now from �11,645 for the entry-level Studio 3dr and �11,945 for the Studio 5dr. While that sounds steep, discounts of upto �4k + off the list price are available.
