The Fiesta was introduced in Australia during 2009. Ford provided evidence to ANCAP that the 3-door hatch can be expected to provide comparable front occupant protection to the 5-door hatch tested by Euro NCAP. This 5 star rating applies to 3-door Fiesta hatches fitted with head-protecting side airbags, a driver knee airbag and ESC. Separate ANCAP ratings apply to other Fiesta variants.
The left-hand-drive 5 door hatch was tested by Euro NCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page.
Dual front airbags and antilock brakes (ABS) with electronic brake distribution (EBD) are standard. Side airbags (with chest and head protection), a driver knee airbag and ESC are standard on the Zetec and optional on other 3-door variants. Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats. Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point (lap) seat belt.
