The on going Thailand Motor Expo marked not only the showcase of the Fiesta but officially as its debut.
Four door sedan and five-door hatch will be produced from Rayong, Thailand's plants and soon will be exported to Southeast Asia (and yes, including the Philippines!) next year.
"The ASEAN launch will write the next chapter in our global Ford Fiesta success story and continue to highlight Ford's leadership in small car design and development. Stylish ASEAN consumers will appreciate the uniqueness and undeniable appeal of the Fiesta to express their individuality, style and sophistication," said David Alden, president of Ford ASEAN.
Based on Ford's Global B-Car platform, the Fiesta shares the platform with its cousin , the Mazda 2(which will hit Philippine road also this 2010). Current models of the Fiest has engines ranging from 1.24liter gasoline-1.6 Duratec and to 1.4-1.6 Duratorq Engines TDCi Diesel.
"Like the outside, boldly shaped surfaces express the individuality and distinctiveness of Fiesta inside," Ford said in a statement. "Flowing surfaces and contrasting colours wrap around the cabin that is both warm and inviting. While the expressive interior is designed primarily for younger customers, traditional buyers will also be pleasantly surprised at the packaging which conveys both sophistication and luxury without sacrificing form and function.
