This Fiesta is powered by a 1.6l Duratec Ti-VCT
which has a four (4) cylinder DOHC 16V engine which pumps out 122 (90 KW) ps at
6300 rpm while max torque is 148nm at 4300 rpm. Mate this to the 6-Speed
Powershift® Automatic Transmission with dual-clutch technology and you get fuel
efficiency and loads of torque when you want a more spirited drive! Who says
you can’t have your cake and eat it?
The sealed transmission requires no maintenance
according to Ford so you don’t need to go change your gear oil every 20,000km
or face the consequences if you forget.
For you women drivers, there’s even the HLA or
Hill Launch Assist system which holds the car steady in D for a couple of
seconds when you’re on a slope. No more panicking when having to stop on Jalan
Maarof during a traffic jam.
Ti-VCT (Twin Independent Variable Camshaft
Timing), gives up to 4.5% fuel efficiency, 7% peak power and 5% low speed
torque. Working like a ratchet, the one-way valves allow precise timing of
camshaft events, continually optimizing timing to provide maximum output or
fuel economy, based on driver input.
