“The new Fiesta will augment the current range of Fiesta vehicles in India, which remain an integral part of our product line-up,” local chief Michael Boneham said.
He said the Fiesta would build on consumer response to the Figo which, in its first year, “has transformed our presence in India and attracted many new customers to the brand”.
The current Fiesta, now available in about 100 markets worldwide, has now sold over 1m units.
