Ford goes up against Nissan Juke and Renault Captur with high-rise Fiesta, but this most expensive diesel version proves less appealing then cheaper EcoBoost variant Ford is keeping its model range for its bold, bluff EcoSport compact SUV simple, with just two petrol engines and one diesel option gracing the launch lineup.The entry-level model for this high-rise Fiesta is a 111bhp, 1.5-litre petrol which costs £14,995. Above that sits the £15,995 123bhp 1.0-litre EcoBoost three-cylinder. If you want a diesel, however, you’ll have to select this variant, which costs an extra £500.When we assessed the 1.0-litre EcoBoost variant recently, we discovered it offers a decent driving position with good visibility, competitive space for occupants and luggage and adequate handling in a class where driver involvement isn’t high on the list of priorities for prospective buyers.Decent maneuverability – its 10.65m turning circle is tighter than the Vauxhall Mokka and Nissan Juke, but not the Renault Captur – and compact dimensions give this curiously styled vehicle urban appeal.
