2015 Ford Ka

[InTheDriversSeat]

Contrary to recent rumors, I learned that the Ford Ka is not going to be discontinued. That's good news. The bad news is that the car is going to be larger, and will be based on the Ford Figo / previous generation Fiesta. The new Ka has been spotted testing at both Germany and Brazil.

 

According to this article from Auto Express, the next Ka will be a 5 door only (4 doors if you don't count the hatch). Gone is the unique, stylish 2 door of the first 2 generations.

I suspect that production will be going away from the Fiat-owned plant in Poland which also builds the Fiat 500, instead moving to Ford plants that currently build the Figo, Ikon, or previous generation Fiesta.

 

Currently the European and Latin American Ford Ka's look different at both the front and back. Perhaps the new car will be the same in both continents. I also wonder if the Figo, Ikon, and older generation Fiesta will be discontinued now that those cars appear to be re-badged "Ka".
