The left-hand-drive 5 door hatch with 1.25 litre petrol engine was tested by Euro NCAP. ANCAP was provided with information which showed that the Euro NCAP results apply to all Fiesta variants with 7 airbags.
The Ford Fiesta was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in 2009. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all variants and all engines built from January 2013 when 7 airbags became standard. It includes several model updates being introduced during 2013. Dual frontal, side chest and side head airbags (curtains) and a driver knee airbag are standard. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD) and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Advanced seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats.
5 Stars. In the frontal offset crash test, driver chest and leg protection were acceptable. Passenger leg protection was also acceptable. In the side impact crash test driver abdomen protection was acceptable. Head protection in the side pole test was good.
