I'd want the new Fiesta to have the 1.5L Ecoboost engine used on the Focus/Escape. Something more subtle than the 200PS Fiesta ST.

Looks much larger than the current cramped Fiesta. [emoji1303]

Very unlikely for a 1.5 Turbo to sell. The 1.0 Turbo sold very little, the 1.5 will be pricier and hot hatches have never been a thing here in the PH.

There is already a number of Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost on the streets. Ford PH even released a view in sedan form. Some owners just drive them lazily when it feels more at home being driven hard.

Yes bro of course there are buyers of the 1.0 (like you). But in the grand scheme of things, very few (775 total Fiestas sold, lagging behind the Yaris, Mazda 2, and Jazz).

The 1.5 has worse FC than the 1.0, and that matters more to most buyers than the extra 50 hp.

If the 1.5 was really in demand, more people should be buying the 1.1M Focus which is the cheapest 170+ hp car you can buy.

^^^ Fiesta sales were really hurt due to the TCM issues. Even with the updated TCM, a lot of people have great doubts on its reliability. My friend who owns a Focus 1.5L Ecoboost only gets around 5.5 to 6 km/L on his daily route (Antipolo-Ortigas). His FC averages are just about the same as my Forester XT. It's OK with him as his old B14 with SR16VE was not that far off in FC.

In Europe there is a 140PS version of the 1.0 EcoBoost.

I'd like a 140PS 1.0 EcoBoost Fiesta with a manual transmission, sadly that's something we may not see in South East Asia.

*The current gen Fiesta ST is the last to use the old 1.6 EcoBoost, an engine which my guess is will die out after the current gen Fiesta production ends.
Most 1.6 EcoBoost models have been updated with a 1.5 EcoBoost.

The EcoSport was the one that ate into the sales of the Fiesta. The EcoSport uses the same PowerShift transmission as the facelifted Fiesta.
