Home ยป Ford Fiesta facelift photo gallery
The 2014 Ford Fiesta is fantastic to look at from the front, and gets rid of the rear end quirk to some extent as well
Although it looks good, the Fiesta is the best example of a highly competent product which has been consistently under-performing on the sales front
Revisions on the facelift version are not limited only at the front end, but at the back as well as some mechanical and feature additions
Side profile is identical to the pre-facelift model, except for the alloy wheels
The new front end grows on you with time. Chrome slats are perfect in size and don’t look too garish.
Rear end gets a lot of changes including wrap around tail lamps, revised number plate housing, blackened rear bumper section, chrome on the rear bumper etc.
The front grille has been repeatedly compared to the Aston Martin. Whatever the comparison might be, it does look good and stands out amongst competition.
Power bulge on the bonnet
Elongated headlamps miss out on the smoked effect, but retain the twin barrel structure and are now automatic
Fog lamps get a dedicated black housing, unlike a small cut-out on the pre-facelift
ORVMs with turn indicators remain unchanged
True keyless entry and go, just press the black sensor to lock or unlock the car
Prominent crease lines on the side profile
15″, 5 bi-spoke alloy wheels in silver shade are ordinary to look at
Rear wheels get drum brakes
Chrome waistline moulding

The only food you can feed the Fiesta facelift – DIESEL
Wiper washer nozzle should have been placed here for a clean design, but they make it on the bonnet
Wind deflector ahead of the front wheel, for better aerodynamics
Small plastic sections around the rear wheel which work as mud flaps and provide better aerodynamics too
Engine produces 91 PS of power and 204 Nm of torque mated to a 5-speed manual transmission

The new interior colour scheme makes the cabin look more airy than before
Leather wrapped steering wheel with audio and other controls is one of the segment best when it comes to feedback

RHS steering mounted controls for the cruise control

Rain sensing wipers worked well on a rainy day, at varying speeds
The key, touch and feel is just average
Start stop button with a chrome surround looks and feels good
Centre console ditches the silver finish and is in the black shade now, and looks much better this way
Butterfly like design for the audio controls, plastic quality of the buttons is not up to the mark
Recessed info screen on the dashboard is easy to read under bright sun
Charging socket and USB & Aux inputs ahead of the handbrake
Automatic climate controls are far from the good quality parts bin. Plastics feel poor when touched, and a clicky sound when put to use

Gear lever has a short throw and enthusiasts will love it
Seats provide brilliant all-round support with the bucket-like design
Full size, height adjustable neck restraint

A nifty storage net on the passenger side footwell
Useful dead pedal, and the super cheap bulb exposed which works as footwell lighting
Keyhole used on the lower variants hidden on the top end
Rear seats have a comfortable recline angle
A centre armrest with cup holder for the rear passengers
Window sill runs high, almost shoulder level
Legroom for the rear passengers is inadequate. Seat-back pockets on both the front seats.
Rear window does not roll down completely
Recessed parcel tray will keep oddities in place
