Ford Fiesta SportVan combines performance with style

A new model of the Fiesta Van will go on sale in Britain by the end of this year. With sporty hot-hatch looks, sparkling road performance and impressive load carrying capacity, the Fiesta SportVan is ideal for customers who require a stylish van for their business.

Like all Ford Fiesta models, the SportVan combines driving quality with functionality and practicality. Powered by Ford's lively 1.6-litre 90PS 204Nm Duratorq TDCi diesel engine, it boasts the acclaimed Durashift five-speed manual transmission, power-assisted steering and anti-lock brakes.

Externally, distinctive styling elements communicate the Fiesta's on-road prowess. These include body-coloured front and rear sport bumpers, 16-inch 12-spoke alloy wheels with 195/45 R16 tyres, tapered body-side mouldings and a rear spoiler. The front end is distinguished by a high intake front grille, sports fog lamps and a rear spoiler.

The Fiesta SportVan comes in one of four colours: Colorado Red, Panther Black, Moondust Silver and Diamond White – all with a dark pewter and ebony gunmetal interior.

The style continues inside, with sports front seats, a sports leather gear knob and leather-wrapped steering wheel with silver spokes. An available option pack includes air conditioning, MP3 connectivity, a heated front windscreen and electrically-operated and heated door mirrors.

"The small delivery van market is buoyant, thanks to a growing trend toward image-conscious customers," said Gary Whittam, commercial vehicles director, Ford of Britain.

"The new Fiesta SportVan has been developed to meet the needs of drivers who want more car-like performance, style and fun in combination with the practicality and durability of the Fiesta van."
