The Classic that retains the old Fiesta look is now being offered at Rs 4.88 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi).

Other safety features on board include collapsible steering column, central locking system, a fuel cut-off inertia switch in case of an accident, PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) to name a few. 

Featured with Ford's superior technology such as GEM (General Electronic Module) and PCM (Power Control module) which basically contributes to lower fuel consumption and low emissions, the petrol model returns a mileage figure of 21 kmpl followed by diesel that returns an impressive 32 kmpl as claimed by the manufacturer. 

Having mentioned about the Classic, one cannot leave out the 2014 edition of the new Fiesta that is due for a facelift. Showcased during this year's Indian Auto Expo, Ford will be looking to capture the Indian sentiment especially with its latest design philosophy that gives this particular sedan a more striking appeal when it comes to the exterior. The Aston Martin inspired front grille is its biggest USP with interior design still un-known, however rest assured they would be in line with rest of its competitors within the segment.
