Ford Fiesta Stline Design Preview

Ford expects ST-Line models to represent a fifth of UK sales for its new Fiesta. The ST-Line X, as you may have guessed, combines luxury features of the Titanium X with ST-Line design. It cherry-picks desirable features from both trims, including a dash-top-mounted 8.0in touchscreen (non-X models get 6.5in) featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, part-leather sports seats and an ST-Line flat-bottomed steering wheel. The car rewards a smooth, flowing driving style that keeps up momentum rather than the more frenetic style spicier hatchbacks can encourage, although the rear can still be mobilised if the car is hustled into a corner on the brakes. Ford claims brake-activated torque vectoring boosts the car's agility, although and this is a compliment - you aren't conscious of it working from behind the wheel and instead the car feels naturally nimble. On a longer run, the road noise generated by our car's 18in wheels may become tiresome, with the volume so high that it blocks out the tone of the engine almost entirely.
