The new Ford Fiesta ECOnetic will be unveiled at next month's London motor show, a company source has revealed.The ultra-efficient, stylish Fiesta hatchback will produce less than 100g/km of CO2, equivalent to more than 70mpg, pitching it directly against the VW Polo Bluemotion as the most fuel-efficient family car in the UK.The new Ford Fiesta weighs around 50kg less than the previous model and will be powered by a 1.4-litre turbodiesel engine, built at Ford's wind-powered plant in Dagenham.The production-ready Ford Fiesta, which was revealed at the Geneva motor show in March, bears a striking resemblance to the Verve concept car, though it has not retained the frameless doors of the concept.

Re: 100g/km Ford Fiesta at London show
This new Fiesta is going to be good, as a memebr of the tdciforum we have a lot of members with current Fiestas espcially the 1.6tdci model. Now they remap to around 130bhp pretty easilly and if they are free to tax game on, will surely wipe the floor with the Polo Bluemotion and its old tech engine.

Good to see another relatively important debut at the London Show. Hopefully the rest of the new Fiestas will be there too! Well done, Ford.
