According to a recent statement from car giant Ford, the hatchback is officially back in the US! The latest figures released detail a massive 60% of Ford Fiesta sales so far have been for the four-door hatchback, compared to 8.3% in 2009.
A sales analyst for Ford, George Pipas was quoted as saying ‘American car buyers have grown accustomed to the convenience of hatch body styles after years of owning S.U.V.’s and crossovers’ and this seems to be the way with a big proportion of the 60% made up of young drivers enticed by the European hatchback offerings.
Not only taking off for the Ford Fiesta, the new Ford Focus is also going to be available in a hatchback format in the states alongside the four-door sedan model readily available. This new vehicle will be showcased at the Paris Motor Show this year.
Ford has also reported a change in trend with car buyers choosing to personalise their vehicles and load up with options such as interior trim upgrades to luxurious leather upholstery and innovative technology systems for both convenience and style.
As I was saying earlier, I am quite keen to purchase another Ford car as my first car was a new ford ka Sussex and it has lasted me extremely well- 10 years well to be exact. I have been have a little look online at what is currently available and I have seen a few choice models that I would be keen to test drive including a ‘nearly new’ used ford fiesta Sussex as well as a new ford focus west Sussex.
Will keep you posted with my finds.
