The 2019 Ford Fiesta is fun to drive and easy to afford. This subcompact car is available in five trim packages, including the S Sedan, SE Sedan, SE Hatch, ST-Line, and ST. Besides the very affordable initial price, there are many reasons to love the 2019 Ford Fiesta.
Interior
The 2019 Ford Fiesta can seat five comfortably with lots of legroom in the front. The cabin is quiet, in part due to an acoustic-laminate windshield that blocks street noise. The hatchback can carry the most cargo, with 14.9 cubic feet of usable space. Dropping the 60/40 split back seats will increase the cargo space to 25.4 cubic feet. Heated front seats are available in the SE and ST models. The S Sedan, SE Sedan, SE Hatch, and ST-Line are equipped with an AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3 capability. The ST adds a Sony audio system to the existing stereo.
Engine/Performance
The 2109 Ford Fiesta S Sedan, SE Sedan, SE Hatch, and ST-Line are equipped with a 120 horsepower 1.6-liter Ti-VCT I-4 engine. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on these models but a six-speed automatic is also available. The six-speed transmission includes SelectShift, which allows drivers to shift gears without using a clutch. The ST model steps up to a turbocharged, 197-horsepower, direct-injected 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine. This engine is paired only to a six-speed manual transmission. Front-wheel drive and four-wheel anti-lock brakes are standard on all versions of the Fiesta. The brakes feature torque vectoring control to ensure that drivers stay in control on curves.

MyKey allows drivers to place limits on maximum vehicle speed and audio volume. MyKey also gives drivers extra reminders for seat belts and earlier warnings for low fuel. A rearview camera, Hill Start Assist, AdvanceTrac electronic stability control, and the SOS Post-Crash Alert system are standard on all models.
Tech Features
