The Titanium trim level is synonymous with top of the range Fords, at least in Europe, and the manufacturer has decided that effort needs to be put into the standardization of its range, beginning with the models themselves and ending with model names and trim level names.
The US-bound Fiesta will receive the Titanium trim, which, as one would expect, is the top-of-the-range model with lots of extras over the basic version. These include satellite radio, 16-inch alloys, leather upholstery with heated front seats, push-button start and Ford’s SYNC system.
However, we feel that this streamlining of, well, everything will come in the detriment of market-specific trim levels, as for example some trims may be completely redundant in one country and be a best seller in another - the country in which it is not popular should drop it instead of keeping it and calling it something just for uniformity’s sake.
In Titanium trim, the Fiesta will set you back $18,200 (€14,605), which is considerably more expensive than the entry level model, which is priced at $13,200 (€10,590).
