With a compact yet punchy EcoBoost petrol engine, it delivers a responsive and efficient drive whether navigating city streets or cruising on the motorway.

Technical Specifications and Market Position
This model produces up to 123 PS with strong torque delivery for its class, allowing it to accelerate confidently while maintaining excellent fuel economy. With a top speed of around 115 mph and impressive mpg figures, it remains competitive against rivals such as the Volkswagen Polo and Kia Rio. Its compact dimensions and agile handling make it ideal for urban driving while still offering comfort on longer journeys.
Tuning Potential and Performance Upgrades
This particular Fiesta benefited from a decat modification combined with a custom pop and bang tuning map, significantly transforming its performance and character. The decat upgrade removes the restrictive catalytic converter, allowing exhaust gases to flow more freely and reducing back pressure. This results in improved turbo efficiency, sharper throttle response and a more eager power delivery throughout the rev range. The custom pop and bang map enhances the driving experience further, introducing aggressive crackles and pops on overrun for a far sportier feel.
Exhaust System Enhancements by DKU Performance
A major focus of this upgrade was the Ford Fiesta Exhaust and overall exhaust system performance. The upgraded Ford Fiesta Exhaust System now allows for much freer airflow, improving engine breathing and turbo response. The result is a deeper, louder and more refined exhaust tone that completely changes the presence of the vehicle. This Ford Fiesta Exhaust Upgrade not only enhances sound but also improves drivability, delivering a more engaging and responsive experience on every drive.
