The Fiesta Hatchback is Ford 's most premium subcompact offering, available in either SE or SES trim level and exclusively with five doors.

Ford 's new-to-America Fiesta is the automaker's first subcompact offering in decades, and currently its only premium small car. In order to pay homage to its European roots, Ford only offers the hatchback starting in SE guise - bypassing the base S trim level available on the Fiesta Sedan - starting with a base price of $15,120.

The range-topping SES Hatchback carries an MSRP of $17,120. Moving to the class exclusive dual-clutch dry transmission -- complete with six forward moving gears, dubbed "Powershift" by Ford -- adds about $1,000 to the price.

Ford says the U.S.-spec Fiesta boasts 15 class-exclusive features - such as keyless entry with push-button start, Sync, EasyFuel cap-less fueling and a driver's knee airbag, as well as significantly improved interior quietness (compared to the European product) due to the addition of a laminated windshield and additional sound dampening materials.

The 2011 Fiesta features a 1.6-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine that is rated at 120 horsepower and 112 pound-feet of torque. This four-banger features Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT), which allows smaller displacement for increased fuel economy without compromising performance. Ford also makes use of an aggressive deceleration fuel shutoff, combined with an engine accessory drive system that was designed to improve efficiency by reducing the energy it takes to power the air conditioner and alternator. When coupled with electric power assist steering, the small gains translate to measurable gains in fuel economy.

Ford's latest four-cylinder offering will be mated to either a five-speed manual transmission - rated at 28 city, and 37 highway mpg - or the six-speed PowerShift dual-clutch automatic, which is officially rated for 28 city, and class-leading 40 highway mpg.

In order to meet federal crash standards and compensate for the switch from European summer tires to all-season tires, Ford reports that the front anti-roll bar was increased from 19 mm to 22 mm, and the rear twistbeam saw a 28 percent increase in rigidity, compared to the European Fiesta.

Ford also added a push-button feature - Grade Assist - which essentially helps to maintain low gearing for more responsive throttle under acceleration, as well as reduced braking during grade descent.

Customers can choose from 15 or 16-inch wheels on most models, and an available 17-inch Ford Racing wheel as well.

To address traditional concerns of Americans regarding safety in a small vehicle, Ford has developed what it claims is the safest car in the segment. Ford boasts that the Fiesta features more Boron (strongest automotive-grade steel available) steel than any Ford product, with key placement of boron steel in the most vulnerable locations. In all, the Fiesta's frame and sub-structure features over 55 percent high, or ultra-high strength steel.

In addition to paying special attention to creating a rigid steel cage for the Fiesta's occupants, Ford has also incorporated a class-exclusive driver's knee airbag, as well as dual-stage front airbags, curtain airbags and side airbags for a total of seven airbags.

The U.S. Fiesta has also been evaluated by NHTSA, and was the first subcompact car to ever receive the highest possible crash rating under the new standards.

The U.S. Fiesta also gains Sirius satellite radio and has a four-inch information display screen located in the center of the dash. Other optional features include remote start, optional power-operated moonroof, premium audio and several custom exterior graphics choices.
