Paris 2008 Special: The new Ford KA
Probably one of the most anticipated and interesting debuts from this year’s Paris Motor Show was the new Ford KA. Unfortunately, what we didn’t know is that Ford decided to surprise everyone and bring Olga Kurylenko for the official presentation. But, because the Ford event was early in the morning, I missed it, and didn’t get the chance to see her and take some photos. Anyway, back to the KA. The new mini car from Ford has definitely changed. From the really ugly previous generation, Ford has managed to come up with a really nice small car.
Like the previous generation, the new KA is targeted at young, urban drivers, having a very appealing design (Ford brought about 4 or 5 in different paint finishes) and two economical engines. The exterior styling follows Ford’s kinetic design language and, though, after seeing the Fiesta, the KA looks a little weird, still, it’s a very cool little car. Under the hood, Ford will offer the KA with two engines, a 69 hp 1.2-litre Duratec petrol unit and, a 75 hp Duratorq TDCi turbodiesel which is available for the first time on the KA and which achieves a combined fuel consumption of 4.2 litres/100km (56 US mpg). Both petrol and diesel models produce less than 120g/km CO2 emissions.
