Leaked: 2009 Ford Ka

July 31st 2008 05:45
2009 Ford Ka


While the 2009 Ford Ka isn't scheduled to make its official debut until October at the Paris Motor Show, what appears to be an official image of the subcompact has already made its way onto the powerful medium that is the internet.

Co-developed with Fiat and riding on the same architecture as the funky retro-style Fiat 500, the styling of the Ford Ka is unique and will follow Ford’s newest design language. It also draws many of its styling cues from its bigger brother, the Fiesta (the Ka has traditionally been a 3-door version of the Fiesta).


The 2009 Ford Ka will share the Fiat 500's range of petrol and diesel engines which starts from 1.2-litres. Rumours that a performance-oriented 1.4-litre Ka ST will be offered as a future variant, with the possibility of a range topping RS model also being discussed.

More information will be revealed as they come to hand. Meanwhile, you can read more about the Fiat 500 here.
