With both, design and feature updates, the new Ford Fiesta surely becomes a slightly more up-market product this time. Compared to the discontinued model, the prices have come down a notch. Delving into details, the most noticeable change is to its front fascia, which now features a new family grille, revised bumper and repositioned fog lamps. The rear receives a new bumper along with revised tail lamps. The side profile, however, remains unchanged.

There are a few changes inside the cabin as well. With new black-beige colour dashboard and the gloss-black plastic on the centre console, the updated Fiesta definitely looks better. However, the overall design of the interiors remain unchanged.

Powering the 2014 Ford Fiesta is a 1.5-litre diesel engine that churns out a maximum power output of 90bhp. Though the same engine also powered the discontinued model, Ford claims that it returns a an improved mileage this time.

Against the exiting model's 23.5Km/l, the new model returns 25.1Km/l, which makes it the second most fuel efficient vehicle in its league after the Honda City.
