New Ford Fiesta is based on all-new platform and the interiors are also
different with all-new design for central console, new steering wheel
with audio controls on it and also features automatic climate control
system. Ford India has priced the new Fiesta more than the current
generation Fiesta and they will sell both the models simultaneously.
This is the best strategy to cash-in by selling two generations of cars
like Hyundai did with Accent and Skoda did with Octavia.
The Ford Fiesta is our premium sedan for India and was unveiled at
Select CITYWALK Mall in New Delhi today, along with the innovative
digital Fiesta Café pavilion. Surprised shoppers gawked at the car, even
as thousands across India viewed the Fiesta online in a live webcast.
The all-new global Fiesta four-door premium sedan arrives in India
with a tremendous reputation thanks to an amazing track record of auto
awards, critical acclaim and record-breaking sales. The car has topped
international the charts with over 1 million sales worldwide, and has
wowed customers, critics and dealers globally. The Fiesta brings a mix
of comfort, performance and connectivity that extends an `always
connected’ feel, previously unseen in the premium sedan segment.
The car is fabulous, and here at Ford India the team is confident
that it will be loved by India. “The new Fiesta will be a
segment-leading product in India with intuitive first-in-class smart
features and fuel economy that raises the bar in every way,” said
Michael Boneham, president and managing director of Ford India,
unveiling the car. “Fiesta is a dynamic, premium car that elicits an
emotional response from both the observer and driver,” he added.
