In today's automotive world is not so easy to understand. If earlier German cars were assembled in Germany, Japanese cars in Japan, and Italian cars in Italy, now the factories of one manufacturer can be located in different countries, and cars can be assembled in many countries.
For example, let's try to figure out where Ford is assembled? This company has factories in more than 30 countries around the world, so it is difficult to immediately determine where the machine is made.
Henry Ford was the first in the world to use the assembly line for the production and assembly of cars. This greatly reduced manual labor and increased the number of machines at times.
Gradually, production began to expand. Several more factories were built in the USA, and then in other countries of Europe and Asia. In Russia, the first assembly plant was built by this automaker. Let's figure out where the Ford Mondeo, Ford Fiesta and other models of this company are assembled.
Ford company in Russia
The issue of car assembly is of great concern to Russian motorists, as they doubt the vehicles assembled in China and Russia.
Ford is very strict about quality, regardless of the place where the assembly takes place.
The strictest control of all stages is ensured by uniform requirements that are established by the Ford management in the US branch.
Many motorists are interested in the question of where Ford is assembled in Russia, for example, the Ford Fiesta model. We have many car factories for the production of foreign cars. The leading position is occupied by St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
The first plant, including a full assembly cycle, was opened in the 2000s. In 2010, Ford Mondeo began to be made on it. The modernization and replacement of equipment made it possible to create machines with a quality no worse than Belgian. Therefore, buyers in Russia should not worry about the quality of these models.
Ford Focus 3
The third generation of the Focus has become very popular in the world and is being made in 122 states! Where is the Ford Focus assembled in the Russian Federation? For Russia, it has been assembled in Vsevolzhsk (Leningrad region) at the Ford Sollers car plant since 2011.
Both five-door hatchbacks and station wagons are assembled there. Capacities allow to produce different models.
Shops, spray booths, assembly lines, warehouses give the company the opportunity to develop successfully.
To confirm the reliability and safety of the Ford Focus 3 model, all copies are tested on the car factory's own track. Ford Focus produced in Russia is not inferior in quality to its foreign counterparts.
New generation Ford Mondeo and Ford Focus 4
Since 2015, these models have also been produced by the Ford Sollers plant in Vsevolzhsk. It is equipped with all the necessary equipment to make cars in Russia for the local market with the famous Ford quality.
The whole cycle ends with a series of security tests, so that customers have no doubts about the reliability.
The production cycle of the new Mondeo is about 14 hours and includes 3 stages:
- Body assembly. More than 500 body parts are assembled almost manually, automation - only 15%.
- The car spends 5 hours in the painting shop, where manual labor also prevails.
The conveyor is used at the stage of assembling all the parts together, and there are only about 1700 of them, to make a car that will delight its owner with excellent technical characteristics and attractive design.
Ford Focus is a special car that holds the first place among "foreigners" in terms of sales for seven years in a row. For many car enthusiasts around the world, it is the best vehicle.
Ford Focus of the fourth generation, assembled in Russia, is specially adapted for our reality. It is equipped with a number of technical innovations, a new engine, additional noise insulation, and a winter package.
It looks even modest in appearance, but the interior equipment, stylish design and special features make it one of the best cars for Russian roads. This is confirmed by high places in the sales ratings.
Ford Kuga
There are other specially produced Ford cars for the Russian market, such as the Ford Kuga. Where is Ford Kuga assembled? It was created to compete with the Nissan Qashqai and the Sollers plant in Yelabuga (Tatarstan) was chosen as the place for manufacturing.
The first model, released in 2012, ensured further successful work on the assembly of other models - Ford Transit, Ford Fiesta, Tourneo, Explorer, Eco-Sport, Galaxy, S-Max.
In 2013, cars of the second release appeared, made using full-cycle technology. This includes body welding, painting and assembly.
The price of the Ford Kuga 2017 crossover did not become exorbitant due to the assembly on the territory of our country, and thanks to this, it sells very well.
Ford Explorer
Ford Explorer is also assembled in Yelabuga. The company spent $100 million to launch production lines.
On assembly lines, and there are only 55 of them, body panels are assembled and welded, and the rest of the parts are attached to them. The engine comes ready.
Those who are interested in how Ford automobile plants work in Russia can see live how the vehicle was assembled at any stage using the QLS electronic system.
By the way, the Ford Explorer Sport with a 360 horsepower gasoline engine is also assembled here. This car is distinguished by a different power steering and a completely redone suspension.

Ford Fiesta is a well-known model in the automotive market, the production of a lightweight compact car began back in 1976. The first cars were produced only in the bodies of a 3-door hatchback and a van, equipped with a liter engine (957 cm?), The model was assembled in the UK, Spain and Germany. Since the launch of the Ford Fiesta series, six generations of this brand have changed, in 2016 the car company is already working on the seventh version, and according to unverified data, the new car will grow in size.
The Fiesta-6 has been produced since 2008, but in the UK this car is known as the Fiesta-7. The controversy began with the Mark IV, when a restyled Fiesta-4 was considered the new 5th model in the United Kingdom. Ford Fiesta 2008 was created on platform B, and the sixth generation car was originally produced in Germany (Cologne) and Spain, then the car was assembled in China, Thailand, Mexico, Vietnam, India and Brazil. The brand turned out to be truly international, in Russia (the city of Naberezhnye Chelny) its production has been mastered since the summer of 2015, cars in sedan and hatchback bodies (5-door version) roll off the assembly line.
In 2013, the “sixth” Fiesta underwent a facelift, the main changes were made to the front of the body. The updated model received a trapezoidal wide grille, other headlights and a bumper.
Ford Fiesta sedan of the Russian assembly
In 2009, when the Fiesta-6 first appeared on the Russian market, it did not gain popularity in the Russian Federation, and there were two main reasons for this:
- the unremarkable external design looked standard, the car was somewhat reminiscent of the Opel Corsa D;
- the price of a pre-styling car was somewhat overstated, and this turned out to be a decisive factor influencing the purchase of a car.
The new radiator grill added charm to the car in the restyled version, and now the new Ford Fiesta has become attractive to Russians, besides, the cost is not so “biting”. The sedan is specially designed for Russian users, it is in this body that cars are most popular among motorists.
Appearance
The wide trapezoid-shaped grille first appeared on this Ford model, and only then this style was adopted by the Mondeo and Focus. The “Russian” looks very noble, and if you don’t really look closely from the front, you might even think that you have a premium car in front of you, of course, if it is in a rich configuration and on alloy wheels.
The radiator grille is chrome-plated, oblong headlights-drops stretched along the sides of the hood, along the upper edge of the front fenders, LED lights were hidden in the front optics. By the way, Ford Fiesta headlights are lined, and this is the prerogative of expensive cars. Round fog lamps are built into the front bumper, and the sporty wheel arches protrude above the tires. The landing of the bumper is high, and they will not have to “catch” the curbs. But the rear part of the body spoils the whole picture: the trunk lid looks dull, looking at it, you immediately remember the cars of the late 90s and early 00s, the taillights are completely similar to ZAZ Sens optics.
Salon and trunk
Inside, the interior looks good - decent quality plastic, modern audio system, fits perfectly into the interior, three-spoke steering wheel, small and neat. The instrument panel is simple, but informative, the instruments are large, semicircular in shape. On-board computer with a small screen, it is controlled by a switch on the turn lever.
Salon at the Fiesta is cramped, not designed for tall and large people. Three people can hardly be accommodated on the back sofa (a high tunnel still interferes in the middle), and if the front seat is pushed back, the passenger behind will rest his knees on the back of the chair. The glove compartment on the passenger side is small, even a sheet of A4 paper will not fit in it without crumpling. An armrest is installed between the front seats, there is lateral support on the front seats, but it is purely symbolic. Pleasantly pleased that the steering column is not only adjustable for tilt, but also extends to the desired length, and therefore the driver can comfortably sit behind the wheel.
A full-size spare wheel is located in the trunk niche, the volume of the cargo compartment is 455 liters. The luggage compartment is generally small, but the European hatchback has it even smaller, only 295 liters. The rear seatbacks fold down at an angle of 40 degrees, which allows you to carry long loads up to 170 cm.
Engines and transmission
The model range of Ford Fiesta engines is very diverse, there are both diesel engines and gasoline ICEs of 1.0-1.6 liters, but in Naberezhnye Chelny a car is produced with only one engine size (1.6 liters, gasoline), however, with different forcing:
- in the basic configuration, paired with a manual transmission, there is an 85 hp engine. With.;
- The 105-horsepower ICE comes with both "mechanics" and "robot" Powershift;
- the 120 horsepower engine is available only with a robotic transmission in the “coolest” configuration.
The gearbox on a Russian-assembled car is present in two versions:
- Manual transmission "five-step";
- robotic gearbox, six steps, with 2 clutches.
The manufacturer has finalized the Powershift manual transmission, and now the transmission creates much less problems for the driver than before:
- gears shift without noticeable jerks;
- there are no noticeable "freezes".
But smooth driving is achieved with a calm ride, with dynamic driving, twitching is still felt. It is still too early to talk about the reliability of the robotic transmission on the Fiesta, the mileage on these cars is still small.

Main technical characteristics
Ford Fiesta sedan, produced in Russia, is a compact B-class passenger car, a little over 4.3 meters long, 1.7 wide and almost 1.5 m high. With a wheelbase of 2489 mm, the minimum turning radius is 5.05 m, road the clearance is 167 mm (for the markets of other countries, the clearance does not exceed 140 millimeters).
The suspension on the Fiesta is standard: in front - MacPherson strut, in the back - a semi-independent type beam. The brakes on the front axle of the sedan are disc brakes, but the rear ones are drum brakes, although the hatchback is equipped with full disc brakes. The steering is equipped with an electric booster, the standard tire size is 195/55. The curb weight of the car is 1125 kg, in the maximum loaded state the car weighs 1535 kg.
Ford Fiesta reviews
The owners of Fiesta sedans leave conflicting reviews about the car, reading them, it can be noted that not all car owners are very satisfied with their car. Most complaints about build quality:
- gaps between body parts are uneven;
- although the model has been released recently, crickets have already “wound up” in the cabin of many cars;
- there are imperfections, for example, the door seal is not tucked into place.
Ford's trunk is small, they still "eat up" the space of the trunk hinges. There is also little space for passengers on the back sofa, at best, two will normally fit there. There is practically no anti-corrosion treatment from the factory; after buying the car, you immediately need to drive it to the “anti-gravel road”. There is no backlight in the trunk, the side mirrors are small, you have to get used to them.
What are the advantages of a sedan:
- the standard audio system is of high quality, the sound is especially pleasing in the configuration with six speakers;
- the suspension is soft, the bumps in the road are almost not felt;
- noise isolation at a decent level, taking into account the class of the car, it can be rated at 5;
- on the road, the Fiesta drives confidently, but at speeds over 120 km / h it starts to “sail”;
- the clearance is high, and the cross-country ability is not bad, it is convenient to park the car, the car does not cling to the curbs with bumpers.
Opinions on fuel consumption among car owners are ambiguous: on the Ford Fiesta highway, gasoline consumes economically, but in the city it “eats” a lot of fuel, especially when driving in traffic jams. The design is also controversial: the front of the car is handsome, but the back is somehow incomprehensible, as if the trunk was stuck on the wrong car.
In general, the car turned out to be quite good, and most importantly, it is definitely worth the money. And to get a very comfortable car with impressive dynamics, you need to buy a luxury car.
For a long period, the Ford Fiesta car was delivered to the territory of Russia exclusively as a hatchback, but in other countries there was an offer from an official dealer presented by a sedan. Ford Fiesta 2017 new generation will be delivered to all countries also in a sedan. The car was introduced in 2016. According to the automaker, the car has been significantly improved, new options and configurations have appeared that will be attractive to the average buyer. The basic equipment costs 649,000 rubles - a very attractive offer, which we will discuss in more detail later.

Ford Fiesta Exterior
Outside, the car has changed significantly, for worse or better - there are disputes about this, since tastes are all different. We call the following points the features of the exterior:
- The front end has become very unusual. The front optics is elongated, has a very large size, while the extreme part of the hood is raised and goes into a rack. In the manufacture of optics, lenses were installed that stand out well against the general background.
- The shape of the front part of the body is pointed, the part with the radiator grille goes forward a little, which determines the shape of the body.
- The radiator grille is made in the style of minimalism, has chrome-plated fins. The manufacturer's badge was placed above on the hood.
- The bumper has cutouts with air intakes, fog lights are also installed in the top configuration.
- The wheel arches are small, the wheels are factory R16. An interesting point is that there is no pronounced protection along the perimeter.
- The back of the sedan is slightly raised. The lanterns have a simple shape, but the body itself is oversaturated with fumes.
The roof of the body is sloping, which allows to increase the aerodynamic performance of the car.
Interior
Ford Fiesta hatchback 2017 (new body), equipment and prices, photos of this version of the car do not differ significantly from the version in the sedan, has the following interior features:
- The steering wheel has two spokes and support from below. The spokes provide for the presence of two control units for the main functions of the car.
- Instrument panel analog.
- In the top configuration, a display is installed on the center console, which is brightly highlighted. Below it is a control unit, represented by a set of mechanical keys. Air ducts are located nearby.
- Below the control unit of the multimedia system is the unit responsible for controlling the air conditioning system.
- Between the seats there are two holders for glasses, as well as an armrest that acts as a glove box.
- When finishing, the manufacturer combines light and shades to create the effect of color contrast.
In general, we can say that for a budget car, the interior in the basic configuration is more than worthy.
Options and prices Ford Fiesta 2017 (in a new body)
Today, a buyer from Russia or Europe is looking for a choice among the options and configurations of installed power units. This is due to the fact that many German automakers supply their cars in just a huge number of configuration options. In the case of GM, not everything is so clear. Options are as follows:
- Ambiente- the cheapest offer for 649,000 rubles. Such a price can be called very democratic, taking into account the modern exterior and brand popularity. They were able to reduce the cost of the car thanks to the installation of a technically obsolete 1.6-liter gasoline-powered engine. Its power is only 85 hp, mechanic box with 5 gearshift steps. In this combination, the car is able to develop 100 km / h in 12.8 seconds. Definitely pleased with the consumption per 100 km of distance traveled, which amounted to 8.9 liters. Among other options, it should be noted ABS, front-type airbags, side mirrors are electrically operated and heated, the audio system is equipped with only two speakers, steel wheels with a diameter of 15 inches. As for the quality of the finish, it is very up to the mark.
- trend- a version that comes with a 1.6 liter gasoline engine. It was slightly modernized, which made it possible to increase power to 105 hp. Transmission manual, 5-speed. Due to the increase in power, acceleration to the first hundred takes place in 11.4 seconds, if an automatic robotic box with 6 steps is installed, 11.9. The version with mechanics costs 745,000 rubles, with a machine gun it will cost 805,000 rubles. By increasing the price by more than 100,000 rubles, an on-board computer, air conditioning, and a more efficient MP3 system with 6 speakers were installed on the car, which were placed around the cabin. In general, we can say that all additional options are typical of the budget class. A version has also appeared on sale, which has a “+” in the name. This version is equipped with additional fog lamps, heated seats and rear power windows. The Trend+ version is equipped with an automatic robotic transmission.
- Titanium- the most expensive offer, the cost of which is 932,000 rubles. The increase in cost by another 100,000 rubles is associated not only with additional options, but also with the type of engine installed: we still have the same 1.6 liter gasoline, the power of which has been increased to 120 hp. Acceleration to 100 now takes 10.7 seconds, and a top speed of 188 km / h. At the same time, an interesting point can be called the fact that fuel consumption remained the same as that of the simplest version of the car (according to the statement). In other words, small changes to the motor and more advanced settings for the on-board computer under the changes made made it possible to increase power by more than 30 hp. without increasing fuel consumption. Additional options include ESP, which is not typical of the budget class, side airbags, light and rain sensors, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel.
Ford Fiesta sedan
In addition, in the cabin of the updated Ford Fiesta 2017 there were such options as a USB port located on the ceiling, as well as an indicator of the filling level of the glass liquid tank. It is possible to order a car with an option that is suitable for a temperate and harsh climate - we are talking about the "Winter" package, which is represented by heated washer nozzles. The most expensive version has a heated steering wheel. The new Ford Fiesta 2017 photo, the configuration and prices for options of which became known even before the official announcement of the vehicle, can be seen below to assess how much the car has changed from the outside.
Specifications
The body of the sedan has been significantly changed. An interesting point is that its length is 342 mm longer compared to the hatchback. Dimensions are as follows:
- Length 4409 mm.
- The wheelbase was 2489 mm.
- Width 1722 mm.
- Height 1473 mm.
In general, the body remained practically unchanged, even the wheelbase was left the same as that of the hatchback.
Main competitors
Ford has a lot of competitors:
- Citroen C-Elysee.
However, there are also a few downsides.:
- Only a gasoline engine, which has a low consumption, but still some people prefer diesel engines.
- You will have to pay decent money for a good package.
- Relatively poor basic equipment, which is solved by almost all modern options.
To take or not to take: the choice is always up to the driver, which may depend on personal preferences regarding the brand, exterior design or interior design features. The proposal under consideration definitely deserves attention.
Our boundless love for budget sedans has wiped out many compact hatchbacks from the market. Among fresh losses - Chevrolet Aveo and Opel Corsa. But if the General Motors concern curtails its activity in Russia, then Ford begins to turn to face the people.
It took two years for the Fiesta, which left the Russian market, to return to us in a new capacity, and in the company with a sedan that is already known in China, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. During this time, Ford realized that you can’t go far on Focus alone, and they were able to organize the assembly of the Fiesta at the Ford Sollers plant in Naberezhnye Chelny: both hatchbacks and sedan are made there in full cycle. As soon as the first Fiestas more or less suitable for peer review (while they are not yet marketable) left the assembly line, we stole two of them for testing - a sedan and a hatchback, moreover, with different engines and gearboxes.
STYLYAGI
Fiesta sedan is not the most photogenic car. She's much prettier live! Only the trunk looks a little heavy - either because, contrary to the current fashion, the wheelbase of the sedan was not stretched, or because, next to a good hatchback, any other option would seem secondary. One way or another, the couple came out stylish. And what about the interior?
HIGH, GO!
Spoiled or not? We know how localization sometimes turns out: plastic is cheaper there, the gasket is simpler here ...
But neither at first glance, nor from the second glance, we did not notice the fundamental differences between the Russian Fiesta and those that were previously delivered to us from Europe. The massive front panel is still crowned with faceted instrument wells. Steering wheel - with a “donut” convenient for grip, adjustable in tilt and reach.
Soft-looking front panel... Wait a minute! It doesn't look soft - it's really soft! Can you remember another B-class car with this plastic?
Fords have learned to make good seats for a long time, and the Fiesta ones are no exception. Excellent lateral support, good profile. Height adjustment is already available in the basic version. And, which is also extremely important, the range of longitudinal adjustment is enough even for drivers under one hundred and ninety.
Behind, of course, a bit crowded - and in the hatch, and in the sedan. Passengers taller than 175 cm will support the ceiling with their heads. But the sofa itself is comfortable and already in the base it is folded in parts (60:40). It's a pity there are no ceiling handles - only coat hooks.
STRONG HEART
We got the sedan with a 105‑horsepower Sigma engine and five-speed IB5 mechanics. Complete set - Trend.
- limit the maximum speed of the car
- warn of a low fuel level not 80 km before emptying the tank, but 120 km
- disable the auto-brake system and parking sensors
- limit the maximum sound volume of the audio system
- turn off the sound of the audio system until the seat belt is fastened.
Complete set: Wealth of choice
The most affordable version is a sedan with an 85-horsepower engine, a five-speed manual gearbox and Ambiente performance. Equipment: height adjustment of the driver's seat, steering wheel adjustment for tilt and reach, heated mirrors, two airbags, split rear sofa back.
There is no air conditioning and radio, but they are listed in the package of additional equipment.
The initial hatchback is sold in Trend equipment. Under the hood - 105 hp We will not have EcoBoost engines and diesel engines. The warranty is three years or 100,000 km. There is a roadside assistance program.
AT 2015 year, Ford returned to the Russian market a compact model Ford Fiesta. Now it has become the most affordable model of the company in Russia. What did the new Fiesta gain and what did it lose when it returned to Russia?
Why did Fiesta leave the Russian market?
First, let's remember how this model left the Russian market. It happened, in fact, recently - in 2013. By that time, the demand for the model Ford Fiesta, sales of which started in 2008, fell to a very low level - at the end of 2012, less than 1,000 copies were sold.
What was the reason? After all, the car was very good, with a bright appearance, extraordinary interior and interesting driving habits. In the same Europe Ford Fiesta consistently ranks among the top three best-selling cars.
Sales killer Ford Fiesta became the price. At the time of leaving the market, the base Fiesta cost almost 620 thousand rubles - more expensive than the base Focus, which is a higher class. The reason is the place of assembly. If the same Focus was assembled at the Russian plant in Vsevolozhsk, then Ford Fiesta was supplied exclusively by the German and Spanish assembly, which affected the final price.
It is because of the decline in demand that sales Ford Fiesta in Russia were discontinued in early 2013.
What's new in Ford Fiesta 2015?
In 2015 Ford Fiesta returned to Russia. The official start of sales took place on June 3, 2015 in Naberezhnye Chelny. What did Ford put on that risked bringing this model back to the market?
First of all, of course, this is the localization of production. The car is assembled at the Ford Sollers plant in Naberezhnye Chelny, more than 100 of its components are produced in Russia, and from 2016 the model will receive Russian engines, the assembly of which will be arranged at the plant in Yelabuga.
Also Ford Fiesta 2015 was adapted for Russian conditions: ground clearance was increased (from 140 to 167 mm), engine calibrations were changed for AI-92 gasoline, winter option packages were offered, the car itself passed numerous tests in real conditions of Russian roads. By the way, when we reviewed the previous generation Ford Fiesta, low ground clearance, especially in winter conditions, was just noted by the owner of the car as a significant drawback.
Well, and one more innovation - the car is now available not only in the back of a five-door hatchback, but also in the back of a sedan. But now it’s impossible to buy a three-door hatchback - they won’t sell it in Russia.
Design Ford Fiesta 2015
The main changes in the design of the new Ford Fiesta 2015 years touched the front of the car.
The new huge grille in the style of Aston Martin immediately catches the eye, which the wound has already received an updated Ford Mondeo. The headlights are more rounded than the previous version. Changed the bumper and fog lights. The hood was also changed - now it is not flat, but with characteristic longitudinal ribs.
Even more effective Ford Fiesta, after the update, it began to look even more dynamic and stylish, especially in the hatchback body. Perhaps this is the prettiest car in its class today.
Sedan Ford Fiesta looks more conservative, the presence of heavy stern affects.
But, compared to competitors, the sedan looks fresher and youthful.
Interior Ford Fiesta 2015
Special changes in the interior new Fiesta imperceptibly - all the same fancy-shaped instrument scales, a large front panel with a scattering of buttons and a small display.
The seats are still comfortable, the height adjustment of the driver's seat is available even in the basic configuration.
But the ceiling handles, as in the previous version, did not appear here.
New options for Ford Fiesta
Ford Fiesta got new options after the update.
For example, LED daytime running lights are now available for the Fiesta.
The Active City Stop automatic braking system has also appeared - a safety system unique for this segment that helps the driver to completely avoid a collision at low speeds or minimize its consequences.
The Ford SYNC multimedia system with voice control in Russian and navigation allows you to read incoming SMS messages in Russian, control music, and make and receive calls using simple voice commands without taking your hands off the wheel.
The keyless entry system and the Keyless Entry and Start engine start button make communication with the car intuitively simple.
The MyKey system allows car owners to customize the settings for safe driving. The function limits the maximum speed, the maximum sound volume of the audio system, and also does not allow the driver assistance options, security systems and alarms to be turned off, and even completely turns off the sound of the audio system until the driver and passengers fasten their seat belts.

Competitors Ford Fiesta 2015
It so happened that hatchback Ford Fiesta in 2015, in fact, there were no competitors left: the previous Skoda Fabia is no longer for sale, and the new one has not yet been released, Opel Corsa and Chevrolet Aveo left the market due to GM leaving Russia, Mazda 2 and Volkswagen Polo hatchbacks are also no longer for sale. In fact, the model has no direct competitors. Close analogues can be called Korean Rio / Solaris. Apparently, Fiesta will try to take away part of the market from them.
But sedan Ford Fiesta will have to fight for a place in the sun in a very saturated market with competitors. Here and recently updated sedans Rio / Solaris, Skoda Rapid, and, of course, the updated Volkswagen Polo sedan, sales of which will start in just a week.
