Ford Fiesta van to get off to a good start in life that are based on the Fiesta supermini. The carrying capacity is not huge, but the driving experience, design and quality construction set new standards for the industry.
By far the simplest way to create a leading small car derived van to start with a class leading small car. Which is the seventh generation Fiesta is exactly what Ford have. Having done the hard work in creating it, the boys of the Blue Oval was not above breaking out the back seats to bring us the Fiesta van.
This variant competes in the supermini from van market where Ford has traditionally 25% of sales and go head to head with the van versions of many of the same models of passenger car sibling must battle. Thus, the Fiesta van follows the same basic recipe, like Corsavan from Vauxhall and 207 van from Peugeot, since sacrifices rear seats and windows for a flat load bay which companies with a minimum breaking load requirements can to place their wares.
Once upon a time, the market for small van was completely composed supermini from models like it, but lately, most buyers are attracted to the target for the vans are not constricted style passenger car so it can offer much greater potential for carrying without taking up more roadspace. Ford's Transit Connect is a good example and to compete against models like the Nemo of Citroen, the Peugeot Bipper, Combo Vauxhall and Fiat Fiorino. If you really need capacity, models like these are a better bet - but then you really need that, you really should consider a small van in the first place? If after considering this, we conclude that the needs Your downsized orientation, then this Fiesta van could be a very effective option.
On the way, if you are familiar with the previous generation Fiesta van, your experience should be that this model has a more solid feel, despite the fact that it's 40kgs lighter. Electric power assisted steering system made its debut in this production model, the technology has come on leaps in recent years, the feeling is no longer like you're at the helm of the PlayStation. I particularly like the feature «Stall Prevention, designed to help low-speed maneuvers with changing profile of engine ignition and prevent stagnation of unpleasant when there is a queue of traffic behind you.
With most goods, firms will choose diesel power without even thinking about it, but a little might involve very small distances, gasoline might still be a viable option, so just, and that the 80PS 1.25 liters offered are enjoyable - and much quieter than the 1.4 and 1.6 liter common rail Dagenham integrated injection TDCi diesel options. An essential element of car Fiesta makeup is fun and dynamic driving the van version inherits them. Expect lively handling and maneuverability rate first married to a more comfortable ride by the owners of the previous generation Fiesta van will have experienced.
A payload ranges from 490kg to 515kg (much more than a Peugeot 207 van, but a little less than a Vauxhall Corsavan) gives customers a competitive solution for the transportation of their products. The rear side windows replaced by the solid body panels, and have the rear passenger seats are removed to provide a cargo box area of 1,000 cubic liters, with a maximum useable load length of 1296 mm and the maximum load area width and 1278 mm (1.000 mm between the wheel arches) and a height of up to 806 mm.
The style of the Fiesta will win many fans and players seeking a compact van that will cut a dash through the streets of the city, I would like to wedge the front edge and curved back. The cabin is similar to the innovative design, with a front control panel based around what a mobile phone and a smart selection of quality materials.
For practicality, as we have said, you will not be buying a supermini from small vans, though the interior is everything. This made the point, it is also worth saying that the Ford does at least allow the proprietor to make good use of space are on offer. DIN-compliant tie-down hooks are standard, but if you forget to use them - or simply can not - then half the height standard composite diaphragm is to prevent loose items from sliding forward and joining you in the front.
Running costs are always of great interest to business users and is essential reading for fleet managers who see slight differences in these elements combine into a whole fleet. Both diesel performance combined fuel economy of form with impressive 67.3mpg CO2 emissions 110g/km. The petrol version manages 49.6mpg on the combined cycle and 133g/km CO2. There is a super-frugal ECOnetic version of the 1,6 TDCi which returns 76.4mpg on the combined cyucle and CO2 emissions of just 98g/km. But there's more to operating expenses than just fuel economy. This Ford offers long service intervals and the choice of either a 12-month/unlimited mileage warranty and 3-year/60 ,000-mile dose of Ford Protection Plan - though a trawl with small print may be necessary recognition of what suits you best.
A 12-year corrosion protection warranty goes a long way to reassure buyers of Ford's faith in the capacity of the product to escape the ban by rust and if all goes to plan, the 1-year breakdown cover will be surplus to requirements. When it comes to insurance, the Fiesta van performs admirably: 1E team is about as low as you go.
Prices range in the age bracket of £ 9.000 to £ 11.000, comparable, of course, obvious competitors such Corsavan Vauxhall and 207 van Peugeot. This Ford is available with a choice of engines: most people would choose between a 1.25-liter Duratec 82PS 16 valve gasoline unit and a frugal 1.4-liter 68PS Duratorq TDCi turbo diesel. The top-of-the-range, the 1.6-liter 90PS Duratorq TDCi turbo diesel can be ordered by selecting a closed-loop coated diesel particulate filter DPF.
All models come with a roof spoiler, body color mirrors and electric front windows, an adjustable steering column and a stereo CD-Player online radio with MP3, four front speakers and steering wheel mounted controls. All models have ABS brakes with brake force distribution, but unfortunately will have to pay extra money - or buy a plusher version - to get stability control ESP with EBA brake assist. An innovation that will appeal to the commercial world is the Ford Easy Fuel capless refueling system. This prevents the "bad fuel", or the costly practice of putting a diesel vehicle with petrol engine and vice versa, to prevent the wrong type of fuel pump nozzle by placing beneath the filler hole.
