The Ford Fiesta's standard engine is a 1.6-liter I-4 with 120 hp and 112 lb-ft of torque. That allows a 0-60 time of 9.5 seconds, and fuel economy of 27/37 mpg city/highway with the six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Equipped with the five-speed manual, highway fuel economy drops to 35 mpg. The Fiesta ST gets a trim-specific turbocharged 1.6-liter I-4 with 197 hp and 202 lb-ft of torque, and a six-speed manual transmission. Efficiency falls slightly to 26/33 mpg city/highway, but 0-60 acceleration improves to 6.4 seconds, giving it real hot hatchback credentials.
