2014 Ford Fiesta: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2014 Ford Fiesta
Sixth-generation Fiesta in U.S. market form (2011-2019), mid-cycle refresh year and first year for the Fiesta ST.
Ford positioned the Fiesta as a small car with more personality and technology than buyers usually expected in this class. Its core appeal was easy city size, sharp handling, good fuel economy, and available sedan or hatchback practicality, with SYNC and upscale features helping it feel less basic than many rivals. The 2014 refresh leaned even harder into that idea by pairing the updated styling with a broader range that now stretched from simple commuter trims to the genuinely sporty ST.
The S remained the simple entry model, while the better-equipped SE served as the everyday middle ground and was the home of the fuel-saving 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine. Titanium added heated leather-trimmed seats, a 6.5-inch touchscreen, premium audio, a rearview camera, and rear parking sensors. The new ST was a true performance hatchback with a turbocharged engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, and sport-tuned suspension.
