BRENTWOOD, Essex, UK, 21 December 2015 - Ford's successful small car range will head into 2016 further strengthened by a number of colour editions.

The Ford Fiesta and B-MAX will join Ka with Black, White and other Colour Editions to enable eye-catching personalisation of more Ford small cars.

Lisa Brankin, Ford of Britain marketing director, said: "Demand for our existing Ka Black White Editions, and Fiesta Red Black Editions before that, show that customers like to personalise their cars beyond series and colour, so we pleased to extend the opportunity for the new year."

Fiesta Zetec Black and Fiesta White Editions

The new Fiesta Editions are available in Frozen White or Panther Black body colours with contrasting roof and wing mirrors.

Priced from £13,645 on-the-road, the limited Editions feature 15in black painted alloy wheels with contrasting white inserts, rear privacy glass and power-folding door mirrors with puddle lights.

There is also a choice of the award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine with 100PS or the 1.25-litre Duratec with 82PS in both three-door and five-door bodystyles.

The interior continues the contrasting theme with a unique black-coloured gear knob with white stitching, leather steering wheel with white stitching and white inserts on the interior door handles.

Fiesta continues to be the best-selling vehicle in the UK with nearly 125,000 sold so far this year. The Fiesta Black and White Editions follow on from Ka Zetec Black and White Editions which were launched earlier this year, and the Fiesta Black and Red Editions which were the first vehicles to debut Ford's 1.0-litre EcoBoost 140PS engine and already represent around four per cent of total Fiesta sales, with over 6,300 sold since launch.

The Fiesta Zetec Black and White Editions are on sale now.
