Ford Fiesta Van (2009–2013)

March 2009

New Ford Fiesta Van launched

Priced from £9,025 and on sale now the new Fiesta Van is designed for low running costs with fuel economy of up to 67.3mpg, insurance groups of 1E and 2E and a choice of engines and trim levels.

Available in three versions: Fiesta Van, the Fiesta van Trend and and Fiesta SportVan. The Trend series is ideal for image-conscious businesses who may be delivering small packages, transporting compact equipment such as meter reading tools or for site engineers who do not need a large capacity for tools.

It comes with a choice of engines: 1.25-litre 82PS Duratec petrol and a 1.4-litre 68PS Duratorq TDCi turbo diesel. The top-of-the-range 1.6-litre 90PS Duratorq TDCi is standard in the Fiesta SportVan. The petrol engine has combined economy of 49.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 133g/km. Both diesel engines have a combined fuel consumption of 67.3mpg and CO2 emissions of just 110g/km.

Payload ranges from 490kg to 515kg. Rear side windows are replaced by body-coloured solid panels, and rear passenger seats are removed to provide a load box area of 1,000 cubic litres, with a maximum useable load length of 1,296mm, as well as a maximum load box width of 1,278mm (1,000mm between wheel arches) and a height of up to 806mm. A half-height composite bulkhead and DIN-compliant tie-down hooks are standard.

October 2010

Fiesta Van Econetic introduced

The Fiesta Van Econetic has lowered suspension, low rolling resistance tyres and a specially calibrated Duratorq 1.6-litre TDCi for a low 98g/km CO2. The 95PS 1.6-litre Duratorq TDCi engine, combined with cDPF, delivers a combined fuel economy figure of 76.4mpg.

Special improvements have been made to aerodynamics: lowered ride height and details such as low-drag wheel deflectors improve Fiesta’s already streamlined drag co-efficient of Cd0.33.
