Ford has announced the 2014 Fiesta (U.S.-spec) and has been rated by EPA to do 41 mpg on the highway.
This number is applicable for the Fiesta SE model which comes fitted with the Super Fuel Economy package which includes the 1.6-liter engine and the PowerShift six-speed automatic gearbox. With this configuration, the Fiesta can return 30 mpg in the city and 34 mpg in the combined cycle.
The 2014 Fiesta is expected to arrive at Ford dealerships soon and this model would be the first one in the subcompact class that will be able to return more than 40 mpg on the highway. This has happened thanks to the SFE package which includes side air deflectors, rear spoiler, underbody shields, low-rolling resistance tires, lower grille blockers and cruise control.
The 2014 Ford Fiesta (U.S.-spec) gets a brand new 8.5-inch MyFord Touch display with enhanced voice control, SYNC AppLink and turn-by-turn navigation. Ford MyKey is also available for the updated Fiesta model which can help to set a maximum speed and audio volume limits. It will also mute the sound system until the seat belts are fastened which is with the intention of encouraging safer driving.
