Exceptional performance is powered by an all-new, three-cylinder 1.5-litre EcoBoost engine. The engine’s new turbocharger technology utilises an optimised turbine design which builds boost pressure faster. It also minimises lag. Designed to reduce friction with a two-stage oil pump and develop less vibration.

In addition, the combination of port fuel injection and direct fuel injection technology helps deliver high power and responsiveness. The result: Fiesta ST delivers exceptional performance with 147kW of power and 290Nm of torque^.

The All-New Fiesta ST is available with three Selectable Drive Modes: Normal, Sport and Track. Each setting fine-tunes the car’s performance by modifying engine mapping, throttle position, brake pedal and steering response. This combined with Enhanced Torque Vectoring, Electronic Stability Control, and a performance-tuned chassis, for optimal handling whether you’re driving on the freeway or enjoying a day on the track.

Designed to deliver a consistent take off and maximise acceleration off the line, All-New Fiesta ST is equipped with Launch Control. Set the maximum rpm for the engine and you can put your foot flat on the throttle whilst the car holds your desired rpm.

Whether the signs are at the side of the road or above it, permanent or temporary, Speed Sign Recognition^ can identify them. An icon of that speed or no-overtaking sign appears on the instrument cluster and changes every time you enter a new limit or restriction.

^Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. May not operate in some driving and road conditions (including at certain speeds) or adverse weather

A 6-speed manual transmission is designed to help make the most of the power available to you. Shifts are short and fast and deliver smooth, precise performance with each and every gear change.

The Performance Shift Light Indicator is designed to optimise your gear shifts and improve performance. A coloured ST logo is perfectly positioned in the rev counter and it illuminates to let you know the best time to shift gears.

With Electronic Sound Enhancement and Active Valve Exhaust you’ll enjoy the Fiesta ST experience to the full. Why: because Active Valve Exhaust is a new technology designed to create a deeper rumble and roar based on the amount of throttle you apply. And Electronic Sound Enhancement ensures you’ll hear the evocative engine when you’re behind the wheel.

A Lane-Keeping System^ uses a forward-looking camera to detect if you’re unintentionally drifting out of lane. Lane Keeping Alert^ then warns you by vibrating the steering wheel and displaying a visual warning. If you're slow to react or don’t respond, Lane Keeping Aid can provide steering torque assistance to help guide you safely back into the right lane.
