The Fiesta’s ECOnetic Technology engine and 5-speed transmission have been modified to deliver the same torque as the 1.6-litre Duratorq diesel, but with better fuel economy (85.6 mpg) and just 87g/km of CO2. It even has a Coated Diesel Particulate Filter (C-DPF), which burns or cleans off up to 95% of the soot particles from the exhaust as the engine runs.
Choose a balance of power and efficiency
The Ford Fiesta might look small, but it hides a range of powerful, fuel-efficient engines in both petrol and diesel. So you can choose your own balance of performance, economy and low emissions.
For example, the top-of-the range Ti-VCT petrol engine produces 134 PS. While the 1.6 Duratorq TDCi diesel, as part of our ECOnetic Technologies, delivers 85.6 mpg (combined) and just 87 g/km of CO2.

The Fiesta’s range of ECOnetic Technologies allows it to produce significantly less CO2, without compromising on performance or driving pleasure.
A smart info system to help you drive more efficiently
The innovative Ford Eco Mode system continually assesses the effects of your driving behaviour on your fuel consumption. It reads your speed, gear shifting, braking and anticipation levels, plus the proportion of short to long trips. Its smart software then advises you on how to improve your fuel economy, according to your unique driving style.
More features to improve economy and reduce emissions
From smart technology to special tyres, a whole range of other ECOnetic technologies help you reduce your fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
- Power assisted steering that uses less power. Unlike most systems, the Fiesta’s electronic power-assisted steering only activates when needed - so it uses less energy, improving fuel economy.
- Shift Indicator for fuel-efficient gear changes. For maximum fuel efficiency, a light on the instrument panel tells you when to change gear.
- Lowered suspension improves aerodynamics. The lower height of the Fiesta reduces drag, which in turn, helps to lowers fuel consumption.
- Rear wheel air deflectors reduce drag. Air deflectors control the airflow over the rear wheels and arches. This reduces drag and lift, which further improves aerodynamics and consequently fuel economy.
- Advanced tyres help save fuel. Low rolling resistance tyres are designed to meet less resistance when rotating, so use less energy and help to cut fuel consumption.
Whether your priority is fuel economy, performance, low CO2 emissions or you want a no-compromise mix of all three, the Ford Fiesta has an engine to suit. For the full story, take a look at our Facts and Figures section.
Diesels improved in every way
The Fiesta’s 1.4-litre and 1.6-litre Duratorq engines have been redesigned to make them more responsive, more economical and cleaner. For even lower CO2 emissions, both engines also have a Coated Diesel Particulate Filter, which removes up to 95% of the soot particles from the exhaust.
Petrol for power and economy
The Fiesta gives you a range of light 16-valve petrol engines to choose from. They start with the economical 1.25-litre Duratec and increase in power up to the top-of-the-range Ti-VCT, producing an impressive 134 PS. With the 1.4 Durateq, you’ve got the option of manual or automatic transmission too.
The tables below will give you all the performance, economy and CO2 emissions data you need.

*Ford test figures. **The declared fuel consumptions and CO2 emissions are measured according to the technical requirements and specifications of European Directive 80/1268/EEC or the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 amended by (EC) 692/2008. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are specified for a vehicle type and not for a single car. The applied standard test procedure enables to compare between different vehicle types and different manufactures. This information is not part of any product offer made. Real-world fuel consumption can vary as the fuel effiency of a vehicle is influenced by (individual) car configurations, driving behaviour, use of technical equipment such as air conditioning, as well as other non-technical factors. DPF = diesel particulate filter. All petrol engines are equipped with a catalytic converter.
