all about ford ka

The most recent Ford Ka proves that baby cars artlessly don’t accept to be boring. For the most recent Ka, Ford collaborated with Fiat, administration abounding of the apparatus and assembly accessories with the chichi Fiat 500.

Some altercate that th

e aftereffect is boilerplate abreast as fun as the aboriginal Ford Ka, which took UK markets by storm. But the Ford Ka is still a able little thing, with seven blueprint to accept from all-in-all. This includes the entry-level Ka Studio, all the way through to mid-range Ka Edge and Zetec, and catastrophe with top-spec Ka Metal.

All models are arranged with kit, including MP3 connectivity, while all but Ka Studio and Ka Edge get admixture wheels. Prices alpha low, but from there it’s alone an advancement trajectory, extensive a aerial amount point for a baby car. Ford afresh apparent its fresh Ford Ka abstraction - it’ll accomplish assembly in 2014 with sales in the UK a able possibility.

Styling

Overall, there are seven blueprint on action with the Ford Ka. This includes Studio, Studio Connect, Edge, Zetec, Titanium, Metal and Grand Prix III.

The Ka is Cher for its size, but alike Edge models get choral air-conditioning, electric advanced windows and alien axial locking.

From Zetec and above, you’ll get advanced fog lights, acrimonious addition mirrors, and 50:50 breach rear seats for that added bit of practicality. It’s a bit of a abashment that some of the cheaper abstracts and radio controls from the Fiat 500 accept fabricated their way into the Ka’s cabin.

Still, the autonomous of the Ford Ka is simple and stylish, calmly allusive the Toyota Ago, Citroen C1 and Peugeot 107. Unfortunately, newer rivals such as the ablaze Volkswagen up!, Skoda Citing and SEAT Mii won’t be loosing any eddy-bye overnight.

There’s alone one petrol in the agent line-up, a 1.2-litre Duarte engine. action abundant Blue Motion engines befitting CO2 emissions low.

The Ford Ka doesn’t appear with the advantage of an automated gearbox, but it does get a smooth, five-speed choral gearbox. The Ford Ka will never be as fun to drive as its earlier brother, the Ford Fiesta, and those because hi-spec Grand Prix III models ability as able-bodied opt for the Fiesta instead.

Reliability

Ford accomplished 23rd out of a accessible 32 in the 2013 Driver Power architect ratings, absolutely a shock because how arresting Ford is in the UK market.

Unfortunately, the most recent Ford Ka didn’t affection in the survey, but the Fiat 500, on which it is abundantly based, accepted to be one of Fiat’s added reliable models.

The Ka alone has two airbags as standard, and as such, accustomed a black four stars in the Euro NCAP blast assurance tests. Practicality

3.6

Despite its bunched dimensions, the Ford Ka is decidedly practical. There’s 224 liters of cossack amplitude on offer, which beats the Fiat 500 and the Toyota Ago, but isn’t abundant to agitation the Volkswagen up! From Zetec blueprint and above, all cars get split-folding seats, acceptation you can added aggrandize cossack amplitude to an absorbing 747 liters - not bad for such a baby car. The Ka’s active position isn’t great, either - you sit too aerial and can’t acclimatize the council for ability – but afterimage is good.

The council caster doesn’t acclimatize for reach, either, so award the absolute active position is that little bit harder.
