A new Ford Fiesta ST will be unleashed on UK roads this summer and it’s guaranteed to turn heads wherever it blasts its boomy exhaust.<\/p>\n
Here are all the vital facts and figures you need to know about the mildly scorching supermini:<\/p>\n
Engine<\/strong><\/p>\n Under the bonnet of the new Fiesta ST is a three-pot 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine. It can pump out up to 196bhp and 290Nm of torque, via a six-speed manual transmission.<\/p>\n With this amount of power and thrust, it can take care of 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds before topping out at 144mph.<\/p>\n The engine comes packed with a trio of driving modes to cater for certain situations: normal, sport and track. Each varies settings for steering and stability for an optimised fun-to-drive experience in all conditions. The more ferocious modes amplify the sound of the car’s exhaust note via the Electronic Sound Enhancement (ESE) technology and active exhaust noise control valve.<\/p>\n Fuel consumption<\/strong><\/p>\n Most hot hatches sacrifice fuel economy for performance, but the ST’s zippy three-pot petrol keeps mpg in mind with the addition of cylinder deactivation technology. This rests cylinders when it doesn’t need them in a bid to limit and optimise fuel consumption.<\/p>\n As a result, the new Fiesta ST can return a combined fuel economy of 47.1mpg while emitting 136g\/km of CO2.<\/p>\n Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n As with the standard Fiesta, car safety assessors Euro NCAP awarded the ST a maximum five-star rating.<\/p>\n Price<\/strong><\/p>\n Prices for the Fiesta ST start from £18,995, rising to £19,995 for the three-door mid-spec ST-2 or £20,645 for the five-door, with the range-topping ST-3 bearing a £21,495\/£22,145 price tag. <\/p>\n Browse Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n All Fiesta STs come with a flat-bottomed steering wheel, Recaro seats and ST sports suspension, electric heated wing mirrors, specially-developed Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, DAB radio, cruise control and safety features such as lane-keeping alert and speed limiter.<\/p>\n The mid-spec ST-2 adds climate control, heated Recaro front seats with blue seatbelts, B&O Play premium sound system and a larger eight-inch touchscreen.<\/p>\n Top-rung ST-3 models benefit from 18-inch alloy wheels with red brake calipers, satellite navigation, automatic rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming rear view mirror and driver assistance features including traffic sign recognition, auto high beam and driver alert.<\/p>\n For an extra £600, ST-2 or ST-3 models can add full LED headlamps or the £850 Performance Pack, which chucks in a Quaife limited slip differential, launch control and performance shift lights.<\/p>\n Colours<\/strong><\/p>\n Buyers can choose from one of seven exterior shades: race red, frozen white, magnetic, moondust silver, shadow black, silver fox and – new to the Fiesta ST – performance blue.<\/p>\n Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n Orders are being accepted now, with first deliveries commencing this summer. <\/p>\n Find the right Fiesta Read more: Is the Ford Fiesta the perfect car for newly qualified drivers?<\/strong><\/a>
