Overview of the Ford Fiesta Vignale

New Ford Fiesta Vignale will impress

Range topper packed with luxury

The new Ford Fiesta Vignale will impress with its range of options and list of standard equipment. This is an excellent driver's car and it is the Fiesta's range-topper packed with quality.

ENGINES AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE FORD FIESTA VIGNALE

Since the Ford Fiesta offers one of the best small cars around, it makes sense for the upmarket Vignale to have excellent engines too. These include the firm’s excellent and award-winning 1.0 litre EcoBoost unit which has power outputs from 100 PS to 140 PS and fuel economy ranging from 63 mpg to 66 mpg. There's also a 1.1 litre petrol engine and a 1.5 litre diesel unit that should return an impressive 88 mpg. Most of the engines are mated to a five or six-speed manual gearbox and there’s just one choice of a six-speed automatic which is for the 1.0 litre petrol engine.

EQUIPMENT AND HANDLING

The new Ford Fiesta is an all-round impressive creation that will undoubtedly underline its popularity as Britain's favourite car; the Vignale version really is the jewel in the Blue Oval's crown. The exterior styling has been tweaked but it is for the interior where the upmarket model will really stand out from the crowd.

They car is also packed with equipment including Ford's Sync3 system that makes driving easier and along with a panoramic roof that opens to create more space and airiness in the cabin to the B&O Play system that delivers a top end sound system. Other features include land keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, blind spot assist and adaptive cruise control. There's also an active parking system for drivers so the car can park itself.

Indeed, the Vignale line has been something of a success story for Ford which created the models after realising the strong demand for its cars with the top spec of equipment; the Vignale now takes this one step further by offering more equipment than standard models. In addition, Ford also offers a specialist customer experience with an area set aside in dealerships for customers to enjoy.

The Fiesta Vignale’s interior is a comfortable place to spend time and the car is a great former around town but it's also excellent to drive over long distances, particularly for long motorway journeys. Safety equipment includes pre-collision assist, airbags, emergency braking assist and trailer sway control for those who need it.

Essentially, the Ford Fiesta Vignale offers something rather special wrapped up in one of the UK's most popular cars; everything that's great about the new Fiesta model is carried over to the Fiesta Vignale which adds more luxury and more comfort for those who want to enjoy the better things in life.
