2009 Ford Fiesta XR4 & Cabrio CGI
14 Jul, 2008
22 Comments 
With details and pictures of the next-generation Ford Fiesta released over the weekend, our computer graphic artists have been busy, coming up with these two designs showing what the next-generation XR4 and a potential Cabrio variant could look like.
Rumours regarding a topless Fiesta are still unconfirmed and the blue oval has not released a Cabrio Fiesta for some time.
The new XR4/ST variant is expected to carry a powerplant similar to the 2.0-litre engine unit currently available in the XR4, although some sources suggest Ford may go with a smaller capacity but turbocharged engine as part the company’s eco-boost policy.

If I was going to say one negative thing. The glasshouse from front door to rear window (side on) goes up way too much. More so then Mazda 2. Still gels together well and slick looker.

That convertable actually looks pretty good! I’m not a fan of that XR4 though. Just looks like a bloated standard Fiesta (which looks great, much better than this IMO).

Oh, no, no no…
It’s all very overdone.
The yaris, getz, jazz, 2, barina etc are much more appealing designs!

The cabrio would be a good rival to the now-aging Tigra.
Ford’s ‘kinetic’ design is great!!

Adam, The barina is a more appealing design. Have you had your eyes checked lately.
I dont like judging a car by CGI as they always turn out differently in real life, so it looks good but ill wait untill its released until i make my judgment.

The standard 2009 Fiesta looks sportier than this XR4.

I don’t like it much. Why has the focus tastefully evolved while this has taken a complete nose dive?

The XR4 isn’t as sporty as the official release shots shown by Ford themselves! But it is still nice. [see http://www.caradvice.com.au/14.....details/]. That cabrio, though, is sexy! The Tigra would be out on it’s ass if they made this! And it will be a looooooooon way off (southward) of $40k!

Burt, you are a dead set tool. The current XR4 is in the mid $20K and your going on about $35-40K. The XR4 sells very well, so does the XR5 Turbo Focus and believe it or not the Focus CC is actually selling at target numbers (I’m not a fan of convertibles) Compared to Holden struggling to sell 40 of the Daewoo Epicas in a month.

I like the look of this Fiesta, it has substance unlike some other small cars out there like the Yaris, which is so bland you’d probably crash into it and still not notice it.

Glen…
Agreed.
Myke…
Agree also, it’s not like ANYOTHER small car on the market currently looks better, only the 2 has some sort of style.

I do hope they drop the 2.0L and go for a 1.6 Turbo. Say around 150-160Kw under 1200Kg with tricky front diff. But they might leave that for the Fiesta RS. A smaller sized turbo engine would give them more power, more torque, and better fuel consumption.

Aaarggh come on folks its ONLY a CGI. The cabrio would have to be a rag top, there no rear hump to stash a tin roof. Not a patch on GM’s tigra drop top.

I don’t think that adding the foglights from the mondeo and some bigger wheels will be good enough to make it an XR4. Were are all the go faster race stripes and all that stuff? And if I had to be really picky…. You could have chosen a better colour than white. but aside from that great car!! Only “mentally unfortunate” people could not like it.
