Ford Faqs

Ford has officially pulled the curtains off of the new Ka - which will also be displayed at the 2008 Paris Motor Show in October later this year. While they released pictures of the car they did not give us any information or details concerning it.

We do know the Ka will share its underpinnings with the Fiat 500 and be built in the same factory in Poland, so it would be safe to assume that Ford’s new hatch will use similarly high quality materials and be built tight as a drum, as well. Engine choices are presumed to be 1.4L and 1.6L petrol powerplants and a 1.6L diesel, and a hot ST version using the 500’s turbo 1.4L is rumored to be arriving later.

Its cockpit is very unique, with a number of different textures and contrasting colors to keep it “fresh, funky and fun.” The exterior is defined by Ford of Europe’s now familiar ‘Kinetic Design’ language, and suits the tiny three-door well. Its proportioned so that the tiny wheels aren’t totally overcome by the car’s visual mass, and the big headlights that dominate the front fenders in conjunction with the blacked out grille give the Ka an expressive face.
