Fuel-Efficient Technology
The 1.6-liter twin-independent variable-cam timing (Ti-VCT) Duratec® engine – when combined with the PowerShift six-speed automatic transmission – is projected to deliver class-leading highway fuel economy of 40 mpg.* Rapid-fire shifting is enhanced by a powertrain control module making real-time adjustments, producing efficient mobility. Fiesta also boasts many aerodynamic design characteristics that help minimize air resistance and increase fuel efficiency, such as the aero-shaped body-mounted mirrors and the line cut into the rear taillamps. The optional Super Fuel Economy Package offers additional aerodynamic details such as underbody shields and blockers on the lower grille.

Nimble Ride and Handling
Features such as electric power-assisted steering (EPAS), AdvanceTrac® ESC (electronic stability control) and class-exclusive* available Hill Start Assist deliver confidence and control, and contribute to Fiesta's overall intense driving experience. EPAS uses speed-sensitive steering and active nibble control technology to help provide improved feedback and confidence at highway speeds. If a driver releases the brake pedal while parking or taking off on an incline, hill start assist automatically helps prevent the vehicle from rolling back by momentarily holding brake pressure. AdvanceTrac® ESC automatically applies the brakes and modulates engine torque whenever it detects wheelslip, and helps avoid skidding and fishtailing by controlling understeer and oversteer. It also helps maintain control under conditions such as ice, gravel or rain, providing more confident stopping power.
Powertrain Control Module
A class-exclusive* PowerShift six-speed automatic transmission lights a fire under your fingers and your drive. Rapid-fire shifting is enhanced by a powertrain control module making real-time adjustments, producing efficient mobility.

Versatile Hatch and Sedan
Whether you choose the hatch or sedan, you'll find plenty of room for your stuff inside Fiesta. Fiesta hatch has excellent interior storage volume. The sedan has all the same smart storage features as the hatch, including space for your water bottle, MP3 player, mobile phone, sunglasses and other everyday items. It also has enough room in back for laundry bags, groceries or other items you might need to pick up while you're on the move
Dragon's-Eye Headlamps and LED Lights
Fiesta has a front end that you can’t miss. Think exotic eyes that dart in and out of traffic. It also features available pure-white LED auxiliary lamps and side-mirror turn signal indicators, which help contribute to the radiant glow that surrounds this small car
Unique Colors – Outside and In
Unique colors surround the Fiesta, outside and in. Fiesta offers nine exterior paint color options, which include two premium paints: Yellow Blaze Tri-Coat Clearcoat Metallic and Red Candy Clearcoat Metallic Tinted. On the inside, Fiesta has the most available material color selections in its class. That includes the class-exclusive available leather-trimmed seats with contrast piping, which come in Plum Red or Cashmere with Charcoal Black piping or Charcoal Black seats with Cashmere piping. You choose
Interior Storage Space
Whether it's people or gear you want to move, Fiesta is designed to fit your lifestyle. The Fiesta hatchback gives you easy access to the cargo area, and all models have rear seats that fold flat to give you extra room for your things. The storage compartments in Fiesta were also designed with you in mind: adjustable cupholders that fit different-sized bottles and containers, slots to hold your cell phone and MP3 player, and even a place to stash those toll tickets
SYNC® In-car Connectivity System
Available SYNC allows you to easily operate most popular MP3 players and Bluetooth®-enabled phones with simple voice commands.27 SYNC even keeps you safe out on the road with 911 Assist™ and Vehicle Health Report. 911 Assist connects you to a 911 operator through your paired mobile phone after an accident in which an airbag deploys,28 while Vehicle Health Report allows you to create a personalized online report of your vehicles' diagnostics. And now, SYNC adds Traffic, Directions and Info. Get real-time traffic updates, turn-by-turn navigation and business search right through your vehicle's stereo. Plus, hear your favorite content anytime you want with personalized news, weather and sports. Access it all with either touch or voice commands
LCD Message Center
The class-exclusive* standard 4" multifunctional LCD display is strategically positioned high up on the instrument panel, directly in your sight line and easily within reach. The red-colored text on the display also makes it highly readable. It was selected to reduce the amount of glare, giving you a clear view of audio settings, phone info and other data that appears in the display. Below, a set of cascading buttons fall right into your touch, offering easy access to music, calling and more
Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start
Unlock and start your Fiesta without ever having to take out your keys. When the key fob is in your pocket or anywhere on you, you can simply press your thumb on the door handle to open the door. Once you’re in, hold down the clutch (or the brake pedal on an automatic), press the power button and go
Acoustic Laminated Glass
The 2011 Fiesta comes equipped with a standard acoustic laminated windshield that helps reduce the amount of ambient exterior noise. Additional sound-management components, including a high noise-absorbing fabric and sound-deadening materials in the doors, headliner and pillars, help reduce road and wind noise
1.5 Million Miles and Counting
The European Fiesta traveled more than 1.5 million total miles as part of the Fiesta Movement experience. You'll notice some differences from how the car has evolved for U.S. roads, but personality isn’t one of them. The 2011 Fiesta is Ford-tuned to deliver a more responsive and fuel-responsible driving experience. Ford engineering advancements in fuel-saving and performance-enhancing technology – such as the available PowerShift six-speed automatic transmission and standard electric power-assisted steering with active nibble control – plus more standard airbags than any other car in its class* mean Fiesta is ready to get a move on
Covert Aerodynamics
There are the obvious: body style, sculpture and a decklid spoiler*, to name a few. But the Fiesta boasts of many not-so-obvious design and engineering characteristics that minimize air resistance and increase efficiency, including grille blanking to reduce the lower grille opening, aero-shaped body-mounted mirrors and a line cut into the rear taillamps. Camouflaging aerodynamic details with style is one more way Fiesta thrills
Safety
The safety advancements in the 2011 Fiesta give you the peace of mind to enjoy the quick and nimble performance that European drivers have come to know. Fiesta comes with seven standard airbags* – more than any other car in its class** – and is the first in its class to offer a driver's knee airbag.** This airbag inflates between the driver's knees and the instrument panel to offer added protection in a crash
