One Savvy Compact Car

Make your drives fun again in the 2018 Ford Fiesta in Santa Clara, California. Available as a sedan or hatchback, the spunky cruiser returns to Frontier Ford with a few enhancements for 2018. Every new Fiesta now comes with a rearview camera as standard, and the old 3.5-inch central display has been upgraded to a larger 4.2-inch screen for easier readability. Other than these revisions, the car remains unchanged.

Well-Equipped Trims

Both body styles are offered in S, SE and Titanium trims, while the high-powered ST model is only available as a hatch. Highlights on the entry-level S include 15-inch steel wheels, a rear spoiler (hatchback), power mirrors, tilt/telescoping steering, Bluetooth, a six-speaker stereo system and a USB port.

The SE gains automatic headlights, chrome cabin door handles and multicolor ambient lighting. For even more creature comforts, we recommend the available SE Appearance package, which adds 16-inch alloy wheels, a 6.5-inch Sync 3 touchscreen, satellite radio and improved voice controls.

Buyers of the rip-roaring ST grade will get to enjoy 17-inch wheels with summer performance tires, dual-exhaust tips, a sport-tuned suspension, improved brakes and razor-sharp steering.

Engine Options

Every 2018 Ford Fiesta in Santa Clara, except for the ST, employs a 120-hp, 1.6-liter four-cylinder that puts out 112 pound-feet of torque. The energetic powerplant can be matched to either a five-speed manual or six-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission. The ST utilizes a more powerful, 197-hp, 1.6-liter turbocharged engine capable of generating up to 202 pound-feet. Matched to a sporty, six-speed manual transmission, you'll feel like you're on a race track each time you switch gears.

Designed to Protect

Ford takes safety seriously and it shows in the new Fiesta. Every model comes equipped with antilock brakes, a number of top-notch airbags, 911 Assist and Ford MyKey. On top of these benefits, buyers will also get to take advantage of the car's traction and stability control system, which makes it easier to navigate adverse road conditions.
