The Fiesta Sport Van

Last year, Ford revealed the Fiesta Van at The Commercial Vehicle Show, dressed to impress in an ST-Line inspired trim. Here’s what the Sport Van has to offer.

Starting at the back, the Fiesta loses the rear seats to create one cubic metre of loading space, able to carry a maximum of 500kg – only 160kg less than the Transit Courier’s capacity. It also comes with Ford’s Live Traffic system, providing the driver with real-time traffic information.

The ultimate selling point for the Sport Van is the sportier handling and styling. ST-Line features bring sportier bumpers, a rear spoiler and 18” alloys for an aggressive style. Inside, sports seats are standard, as well as a host of technology to make any commute simple and comfortable.

Long motorway drives are made easy with Adaptive Cruise Control, which will maintain a set speed and distance for the driver. Lane Keeping Assist will ensure the driver never leaves their lane unexpectedly, and the Blind Spot Information System will aid in changing lanes. An other assistance system comes in the form of Traffic Sign recognition, in which a camera that can recognise road signs is used to display them on the car’s screen.

There’s even the option to add in a Wi-Fi hotspot should an internet connection be needed wherever, for whomever. For the colder months, the optional heated seats and steering wheel will be a welcomed feature.

Two petrol engines and one diesel will be available. A 1.1 litre petrol engine will produce 84bhp, and a second 1.0 litre turbocharged unit will emit 123bhp. The third 1.5 litre TDCi engine will come with two output options: 84bhp or 118bhp.

Pricing for the van is around £15,000, with leases starting from around £190 + VAT*.
