What's New For the Ford Fiesta

The Ford Fiesta might be a small compact car, but don't let its size fool you. Starting from the outside, the Fiesta has plenty to offer this year. The two body styles available in 2019 are a five-passenger sedan and a five-passenger hatchback. The hatch features a slightly wider design and more cargo space. Whichever body style you get, there is plenty of opportunity for a custom look. The 2019 Fiesta is offered in 10 different exterior paint colors, which lets you choose just the right match for your personality.

With seven interior trim colors available too, there is plenty of room for a custom finish. The 2019 Fiesta is produced with two engines as well. One is standard on three trim levels, while the more powerful engine is standard on the highest trim level. A variety of safety features, which are standard across the board, adds to the Fiesta appeal for consumers and critics.

2019 Fiesta Trims & Features

The 2019 Ford Fiesta is produced in four trim levels. The base model, which is called the S, offers a nice array of standard amenities. This includes a 12V power charging port, an auxiliary audio jack, air conditioning, cloth bucket-style seats, carpeted floor mats, a center console with extra storage space, power-operated door locks, a multi-function LCD message display screen that shows your car's real-time vitals, a rear window defroster, and the innovative SYNC infotainment system made by Ford, that includes Applink, which is a feature that pairs to your smartphone to provide more connectivity.

The second trim level is the SE. This trim comes in both a sedan and a hatchback version. The main difference is that the hatchback has more cargo capacity (close to 30 cubic feet) compared to the 20 cubic feet you get with the sedan. Both versions, however, feature a trip computer, a second USB charging port in the back row, multi-way adjustable front seats, and adjustable head restraints.

The ST-Line builds on that list with custom sporty cloth bucket-style seats in the front, ambient lighting, a front console with integrated storage, a leather-wrapped wheel, and shift knob, and Ford premium SYNC 3 entertainment system with navigation, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Two smart charging USB ports are also standard. The ST features custom embroidered leather seats, a premium Sony sound system, ambient lighting, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel bearing the trim's logo.

2019 Ford Fiesta Horsepower

There are two engines on this year's Ford Fiesta. The base engine is a 1.6L, four-cylinder engine that produces up to 120 HP. This engine is standard on the three lowest trim levels. A second engine, which is optional for these trims and standard on the ST, is a 1.6L turbocharged engine. This sophisticated four-cylinder engine can produce up to 200 HP and over 200 LB-FT of torque. The base engine comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission and an optional six-speed automatic. The turbocharged engine comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission. The turbocharged engine is paired with a sportier suspension system and torque vectoring to provide tighter steering and better handling.

Ford Fiesta Safety

The 2019 Ford Fiesta features a total of seven airbags throughout the cabin, including front airbags for the driver and front seat passenger. There is also a knee airbag for the driver and side curtain airbags in the back. Other standard safety features include a backup camera, seat belt pretensioners, and child safety door locks. The latest Fiesta is also built with reinforced steel columns that protect occupants in case of a crash. In case you do get into an accident, the post-crash response system comes to your aid.
