The Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost has been officially introduced in Malaysia – the range-topping model of the facelifted B299 Fiesta lineup arrives seven months after the 1.5 Sport hatch and Titanium sedans made their local debut to complete the local Fiesta range.
The EcoBoost variant only comes in hatchback form, and officially has a Sport+ designation, though the badging still denotes it as an S (with an EcoBoost logo on top of it) type.
It's of course powered by the award-winning 1.0 litre EcoBoost three-cylinder turbo GDI mill, in its higher 125 PS at 6,000 rpm and 170 Nm at 4,500 rpm output tune (there's a 100 PS version in overseas markets). The engine, which comes from the Ford engine plant in Craiova, is paired to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, namely the Getrag 6DCT250.
Aside from being equipped with the two-time International Engine of The Year winner, the Fiesta Sport+ is identical in terms of features and kit to the 1.5 litre variants, save a few bits.
These are a full bodykit with daytime running lights mounted below the foglamps and a Safety Pack with its full complement of seven airbags (front driver and passenger, side, curtain and driver's knee) to the 1.5 litre Sport and Titanium's two.
EcoBoost decals on the bonnet and sides of the car round off the differences. That's from the outside – the interior is indistinguishable from the 1.5, unless you're eagle eyed and spot the extra airbag markers on the trim.
Everything then from the 1.5 is here, and that includes ESP, hill launch assist, smart keyless entry and push-start ignition, rain sensing wipers and electronic
In terms of exterior shades, the 1.0 litre EcoBoost Fiesta is available in three colours, Arctic White, Panther Black and True Red. As for pricing, the car goes for RM93,888 on-the-road without insurance.
