Ford Fiesta Trend First Drive: On-Trend Value
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- I've driven some exciting - and expensive - hardware on this channel, but what about something that's affordable and offers good value? Say hello to the new Ford Fiesta Trend. It replaces the Zetec and is designed to offer more kit in a more affordable Fiesta package in a bid to make Britain's best-selling car even more appealing.
Priced from £15,995 (3 door), it's able to boast features such as 16" alloys, rear privacy glass, LED daytime running lights, air conditioning, 8" touchscreen with Ford Sync 3, lane keep assist, and front fog lights to name a few.
It's only available with one engine; it's a 1.1 litre naturally aspirated petrol, which offers 85hp, with 108Nm of torque. This power is fed to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox. Performance won't be the main motivator for buying this car, so let me give you the fuel economy instead. On a combined run you're looking at 48.7mpg and the car emits 114g/km of CO2 emissions.
Therefore, it should be cheap to run, and it should be cheap to insure as well, as the Trend sits in insurance group 5E, thanks to the car's lower cost and pint-sized engine. The Trend could well be the perfect car for young drivers, or those looking for a cheap runaround.

Great review as always Aaron, I really enjoy your presentations.
Hi zaporida, thanks for watching, and thanks for the feedback!
Just got mine and very happy with it
Still going good ? Any issues ?
Great review
Thank you very much Phil!
I am thinking of upgrading to the MK7 and was wondering how would this engine compare to my current 1.6 TDCi in MKV fiesta. I guess both economy and performance would suffer
£16.5k for a small hatchback with 85 bhp. That’s hilarious. 0-60 in over 13 seconds suggests it will be frustrating to drive too. My other half’s Ibiza FR with 115 bhp was only about £17.5k list price when we bought it last year. I’d want a big discount on this Fiesta. .
What features does the FR have, though? Thanks for watching.
Additionally, it really makes a Swift Sport seem like a bargain when it was previously accused by the motoring press of being too expensive (especially with respect to its predecessor). You can get one of these for £17K *right now*. To be fair to the Fiesta, it does look to be pretty refined, as well as pretty safe (it has an amusingly named NCAP pack), and it has an alarm as well as cornering fog lights, but it lacks front parking sensors, autonomous emergency braking, a reversing camera, auto-dimming rear-view mirror or automatic climate control, and it weighs over 1.1 tons, so no real wonder why the 1.1 litre engine (which is probably their lowest offering) doesn't move the car any faster nor offer more than middling economy. They'll sell like hot cakes, and it's a nice car with low insurance costs, but I don't think it's a good deal personally especially given the FR or the Swift Sport.
@Rick G I'll concede the point if you can get the Trend for £1,000 to £1,500 below RRP. :)
Rick G that’s a much more sensible price for the fiesta
Car Obsession it’s pretty much top of the range so it’s better equipped than the Fiesta and a much more usable engine which doesn’t need to be revved all the time to get reasonable performance.
Big mistake, getting rid of the popular and well known zetec trim. The trend models, don’t even come with the eco boost engine
Ford have now addressed this for 2020, you can now get a 95ps EcoBoost.
milly Used to be 99 BHP in the zetec
This is not the „Trend-Line“.
Hi there, thanks for watching. I'm not sure what you mean by your comment.
Car Obsession you claim this is the Ford Fiesta Trend. But the „trend“-line does not have a monitor/ screen in it - at least here in Germany. I guess this is the „cool&connect“ line.
@@m1ll1on4r3 What do you mean I "claim" it is the Fiesta Trend? I can confirm with 100% confidence that is is a Trend. In the UK it comes as standard with an 8" touchscreen 👍🏽. I hope that clears things up 👌🏽.
How much? They're having a laugh, a big one. And yeah it's discounted but maybe that's why they're having trouble in europe at the moment. And with the new Clio and 208 on the horizon why would you buy a car that's over 10 years old now?
It’s a all new fiesta this model, it’s not from 10 years ago
@@forza223bowe5 it's based on the 2008 fiesta, it's just a revamp. It's not all new like the clio and 208.
Steve Jewiss The exterior is, but interior looks totally different.
@@forza223bowe5 still based on a 10 year old design. And even the interior is dire in that cheap Ford way.
I would say get one around 10 months old with as low miles as possible and save probably around 4k maybe more 16k very high for entry spec but still quite smart car all round
