Ford Ka (United Kingdom, 2008-2013)

Ford Ka's second generation was introduced in 2008 and despite the fact that it maintains a curved styling and its original qualities it incorporates Ford's fresh Kinetic Design.

Ka's new generation features economical engines like the 1.2l Duratec petrol engine that delivers 69hp and produces 102Nm of maximum torque at 3000rpm and the 1.3l Duratorq TDCi turbodiesel engine with a power output of 75hp and 145Nm of torque. Both of these engines have an less than 120g/km of CO2 emissions.

The 1.2l petrol engine actually uses 21 percent less fuel than the previous 1.3l which shows a great improvement. Both of these engines are also mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.

In the exterior Ka features Ford's Kinetic Design, a prominent trapezoidal lower grille and large swept back headlamps. At the rear wider and bolder tail lamps were added and the tailgate glass with lower corners is an element of the Kinetic Design but at the same time it is combined with other visual cues from the original Ka.

The new generation brings a dynamic interior design, bold contrasts and colours that give the car an adventurous personality. Despite it being a small city car it offers a generous interior space with high seating position so that passengers are given great visibility.

As a part of the new adventurous personality, Ford Ka is available is four trims, Studio, Style, Style + and Zetec, each offering tailored options for the customers.

The Zetec trim actually features three possible themes:

Digital Art: Vibrant designs with a fresh green as base colour. The exterior has body stripes and a solid green grille surround and door mirror cappings. The interior features seats with patterned inserts and green headrests, green door panels and a solid green finish to the centre console. The colour green was used in other elements of the interior.

Grand Prix: A motorsports related theme with a chequered flag with either a red or white exterior colour scheme. The exterior features paternerd body stripes with solid colour grille surround and door mirror cappings that can be combined with a rear spoiler and white alloy wheels.

In the interior is possible to see the seats with silver-grey fabric and the tatto logo on the backrest, silver-grey headrests and door panels and other silver-grey details. There is also a unique leather seat option which has a special metallic finish on the insert panels and an embossed tattoo emblem.
