VIII (Mk8, facelift 2022) 5 door Overview:
Ford Fiesta (VIII (Mk8, facelift 2022) 5 door). With 110 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 1084 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling.

1.1 (75 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
A very basic, naturally aspirated engine that struggles with acceleration, especially outside of urban environments. Best suited for city driving.
Fuel Economy
Decent for a non-turbo unit, but lacks the modern efficiency of the EcoBoost range. Fuel consumption is acceptable for its power output.
Pros and Cons:

- • Agile and engaging handling
- • Wide range of efficient EcoBoost engines, including mild-hybrids
- • Modern infotainment system and connectivity features
- • Stylish exterior design with facelift updates
- • Excellent performance from the ST model
Cons:
