The width compared to other Ford models
Within the Ford lineup, the Fiesta slots itself neatly as a compact, yet engaging car. Its current width of 1735 mm makes it more petite than SUVs like the Ford EcoSport which stands at 1765 mm, and it’s easily outscaled by the Ford Puma’s 1805 mm. Even the Ford Focus, another compact contender, surpasses it with a width of 1825 mm. Despite being smaller, the Fiesta’s compact dimensions grant it an ease of handling that bigger, roomier models might lack. This makes it a fantastic car for urban environments where tight lanes and parking spaces become a daily dance.

How does the width of the Ford Fiesta compare to it's nearest competitors?
When we steer into competitor territory, the Fiesta holds its ground admirably. Compared to the Nissan Micra at 1595 mm wide, the Fiesta is significantly broader, lending it a more planted stance. The Opel ADAM at 1720 mm wide also falls short of the Fiesta's dimensions. On the other hand, the Volvo C30, wider at 1782 mm and longer at around 4252 mm, gives it a more substantial look but might compromise on maneuverability. The Fiesta navigates this battle of widths with a balanced approach, providing just enough interior room while being nimble. Dimensions like length and wheelbase play a vital role too. The Micra’s shorter wheelbase and length might make it more agile, but the Fiesta’s broader width offers better stability and interior comfort. In essence, the Fiesta strikes a harmonious balance, delivering just enough size and dexterity for the modern driver.
