Phil McNamara, 11 March 2013 23:00

Ford will turn up the wick of its Fiesta Zetec S next year, turning it into a Suzuki Swift Sport-rivalling warm hatch. The power bump will bridge the gap in the Fiesta range between the regular models and the top-of-the-line ST flagship. How much power will the 2014 Ford Fiesta Zetec S have? Thanks to an uprated 1.0-litre three-cylinder Ecoboost ...

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 15 February 2013 10:50

Ford’s mid-life changes to the Fiesta supermini get more radical the further forward you move along the car. At the back, there’s some lightly refreshed taillight clusters. In the middle, a usefully simplified climate control interface. And up front, a headline new engine: the three-cylinder Ecoboost unit from the B-Max and Focus, hiding behind a big-mouth grille that’ll provoke more ...

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

the CAR team, 08 February 2013 15:00

Ford's next Focus RS super-hatch will stick with a front-wheel drive, manual gearbox recipe, according to company sources. That's fighting talk, as the likes of Mercedes (A45 AMG) and Audi (RS3 Sportback) have turned to all-wheel drive for their hot hatches. Even BMW offers its M135i in four-wheel drive xDrive guise. It's also a shot across the bows of Renaultsport – the new RS Clio ...

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 18 December 2012 10:40

This is the all-new, second-generation Kuga, Ford’s mid-size SUV. As before, it’s based on Focus underpinnings, but the big news is that it replaces both Europe’s Kuga and the completely different – and long-established – Escape SUV in the US – hence it’s the Escape in the US. It’s a difficult balancing act: the Escape has a reputation as a ...
