The 2014 Ford Fiesta will reveal at Jakarta on Indonesian International Motor Show Sept 2013 with a new front fascia, a longer list of options, and some
extra tech. The Fiesta gets a
few updates for the 2014 model year, including a more efficient EcoBoost
engine, a sporty ST model, and new styling that evokes the 2013 Fusion.
For the first time, Ford’s smallest car gets the MyFord Touch
infotainment system, as well as an improved version of the Sync voice
recognition control in current models.
MyFord Touch allows the driver to control
functions like navigation, audio, climate control, and Bluetooth primarily
through a touch screen. In the Fiesta, it’s a 6.5-inch unit mounted prominently
in the center stack.
Ford seems determined to put MyFord Touch
in all of its vehicles, although the first version of the system was panned for
being slow and requiring too much of the driver’s attention. Ford updated the
software earlier this year.
Hopefully the Fiesta will strike a better
balance between technology and functionality. MyFord Touch-equipped models come
with a redesigned center stack with fewer buttons, although some are retained
as redundant controls. We’ll have to see if Ford has found the happy medium
between too many buttons and too few.
The 2014 Fiesta also gets the newest
version of Sync, which streamlines calling and texting with voice recognition.
It uses more logical voice commands that, for example, allow drivers to ask for
their favorite radio station by name instead of calling up the radio, FM, and
the music genre.
Ford’s Sync AppLink, which allows drivers
to use Ford-approved apps, returns, as does the Sync Services concierge, which
offers things like turn-by-turn directions. Making the most of Sync and MyFord
Touch is an available eight-speaker Sony HD radio with satellite capability.
The 2014 Fiesta also features a new
exterior design with a front end that apes the 2013 Fusion’s (definitely not a
bad thing), and a new turbocharged
1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine with an estimated 40
mpg. Despite its microscopic size, Ford says the 1.0-liter delivers more
horsepower per liter than a Lamborghini Aventador.
