Ford Fiesta
ST-Line Vignale 1.0 Mild Hybrid petrol FWD automatic
Tested here is the Ford Fiesta ST-Line Vignale 1.0 l petrol with a 7-speed automatic transmission and 48V mild hybridisation. This popular hatchback vehicle targets consumers who require a compact and fuel-efficient vehicle of high everyday value. The selected powertrain configuration displays commendable energy efficiency performance for a conventional petrol-powered car. Potential further improvements of the fuel consumption would additionally directly enhance the performance in the Greenhouse Gas index by lowering the CO2 output. The pollutant-emissions control strategy is notably challenged in some tests and loses robustness under difficult Highway conditions, which results in a relatively poor Clean Air Index. As for some other petrol vehicles, the tests revealed that the handling of the non-regulated ammonia (NH3) could be more efficient. On the positive side, the emissions of the greenhouse gases N2O and CH4 are very low. Overall, the Ford Fiesta performed creditably and with an Average Score of 42% collected 2½ Green stars.
