Small Fords

I want to know when the Ford Fiesta hatchback is going to be launched in India.

AAA There is no official announcement from Ford on the Fiesta hatch and though the company had intentions to launch it, these plans have been shelved because of the imminent launch of the EcoSport. Ford is concentrating all its energy on the EcoSport, which is turning out to be a much cheaper car than the Fiesta hatch. The other reason is that the hatch will have to be assembled with a high level of local content. This leaves little scope for its introduction in the Indian market.
