The all-new Ford Fiesta, which came back into production this fall, was the top seller in the United Kingdom in November and was named as the Scottish Car of the Year. Ford’s commitment to green vehicles continues with the Fiesta with an ECOnetic model available; the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic was able to achieve a 76.3 mpg combined rating.

“The Fiesta ECOnetic becomes the most fuel efficient new five-seater family car in the UK. With CO2 emissions at under 100g/km, Ford Fiesta ECOnetic is zero rated both for road tax (Vehicle Excise Duty) and for the ’showroom tax’ element of VED introduced for the first year of ownership in this year’s Budget.” (Source: Ford Media)

The vehicle is currently only available in Europe but there will be expansion into China next year and North America in 2010. Plans are in place to begin production of the Ford Fiesta at the Cuautitlan Assembly Plant in Mexico in the early part of 2010.
