Ford Fiesta Vignale Design Preview

The latest Fiesta is the first to get treatment from Ford’s premium division, Vignale. Like Ford’s other posh models, this new range-topping variant gets a hefty list of standard kit as well as a swankier cabin. The adjustments to the exterior are discreet, with a new chrome grille insert up front and standard 17in wheels the most obvious changes. But inside, passengers sit in standard leather seats (heated in the front) and the driver holds a leather-wrapped wheel with heating. The dash and parts of the door cards are also wrapped in leather. As standard, Vignale models get a panoramic roof, an 8.0in touchscreen with sat-nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and there's a powerful 657W 10-speaker B&O Play premium sound system. Driver assist features including a 4.2in TFT instrument cluster, traffic sign recognition and auto high beam lighting are also thrown in.
