For 2014, the Fiesta adopts the corporate grille and sees its dashboard modified to integrate the MyFord Touch infotainment system. Also of note is the new ST trim powered by a version of the 1.6L EcoBoost that cranks 197 horses and is teamed with a six-speed manual. Another EcoBoost arrives later this year, a frugal 120-hp 1L three-cylinder. The regular 120-hp 1.6L four-cylinder returns, paired either to a five-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed PowerShift automated manual.
