The Ford Ka is, during its first and second generation, a urban compact car (A-segment in Europe) manufactured by the American marque Ford. It is the entry-level vehicle of the brand and was created as an affordable Ford option.
The first generation is based on the Fiesta platform. It was sold in Europe since 1996. It was also sold in Latin America since the late 90s. It was an affordable five-seater vehicle with front transverse engine, designed to compete against the Renault Twingo and Peugeot 106. Its design was created by Pininfarina, and was the first model of the brand to inaugurate the ‘New Edge’ design style. It was sold with several different engines, all inline four-cylinder gasoline. The most powerful version was equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged Setec RoCam, which produced a total of 120 hp. A convertible variant, called Ford StreetKa, was also launched in 2003.
The second generation had two versions:
- The American version went on sale in 2008, and recycled the platform of the previous generation. It was marketed as a B-segment car. Its production ceased in 2016.
- The European version was produced since 2009 in Poland, specifically at the Fiat Tychy facility. The second-generation Ford Ka shared a platform with the Fiat 500, as well as its entire range of engines, including gasoline FIRE engines and JTD and Multijet diesel engines.
The third generation returned to Ford’s factories and was manufactured on the B-segment platform. That is why Ford calls the 3rd generation Ka “Ford Ka+“; objectively, this version belongs to a higher segment than the original model. This model started production in 2016 and production ceased in 2021 in Europe. Only the hatchback variant was marketed in Europe, although a sedan version was also sold in Latin America. There is also the Ford Ka+ Active, which is a version with crossover bodywork.
The Ford Ka has a total of three generations to date.
