COLOGNE, Germany, Feb. 1, 2016 – The Ford Fiesta was the No.1 selling small car in Europe again last year, making it the top-selling small car in Europe for the fourth year running.
Customers purchased 314,432* Fiestas in Europe in 2015, compared with 309,120 the previous year (an increase of 2 per cent) after Ford introduced significant upgrades.
“Small-car customers will find what they’re looking for in Fiesta, whether it’s the fuel efficiency of the the 82 g/km CO2** Fiesta Econetic or the award-winning performance of the Fiesta ST,” said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford of Europe.

** The declared Fuel/Energy Consumptions, CO2 emissions and electric range are measured according to the technical requirements and specifications of the European Regulations (EC) 715/2007 and (EC) 692/2008 as last amended. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are specified for a vehicle variant and not for a single car. The applied standard test procedure enables comparison between different vehicle types and different manufacturers. In addition to the fuel efficiency of a car, driving behaviour as well as other non-technical factors play a role in determining a car's fuel/energy consumption, CO2 emissions and electric range. CO2 is the main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming.
