Ford is planning to launch the new Fiesta. The new Fiesta will have sharper styling and a more powerful diesel engine. The current Fiesta 1.4 diesel is just adequate as far as power goes. But the new Fiesta will have the 1.6 Duratorq engine.
The 1.6 Diesel produces 110bhp of power and 240NM of torque, which is on par with the Verna, but the Fiesta has much better handling, braking and steering feedback then the Verna. The 1.6 TDCi will be priced around 9.5Lacs. Expect it to take the fight to the Verna.
