Frequently asked questions about Ford Ka
Does the Ford Ka+ have a heated windscreen?
Yes. The Ford Ka+ was the first Ka to introduce Ford’s patented Quickclear heated windscreen technology as a standard feature. On specific variants of the original first-generation Ka such as the Luxury trim, Quickclear heated windscreens were an option.
Why was the Ford Ka+ discontinued?
The Ford Ka+ was discontinued in the UK in 2019 despite its popularity, success, and profitability for Ford. The Ka was likely discontinued because Ford is trying to change its direction more towards crossover SUVs such as the Ford Puma and Ford Kuga. Moreover, Ford is committed to full electrification and has been cutting many models - even popular ones - which use internal combustion engines.
Is the Ford Ka a good car?
Yes. The Ford Ka has received excellent reviews with many praising its superb handling and performance as a city car. The robust chassis design based on the ever-popular Ford Fiesta certainly adds to the appeal, as does the highly affordable price which offers superb value for money.
Is a Ka+ bigger than a Fiesta?
The Ford Ka+ is smaller than the Ford Fiesta. For comparison, the third-generation Ford Ka+ measures (in length x width x height) approximately 3.9 x 1.7 x 1.5 metres; the seventh-generation Ford Fiesta measures approximately 4.1 x 1.7 x 1.5 metres.
Why is it called a Ford Ka?
It is believed that the name ‘Ka’ was chosen because it was roughly similar to how an Australian might pronounce the word ‘car.’ In press statements and at motor shows, Ford has pronounced it many different ways, but it is most likely supposed to be pronounced with a short a as in the word ‘cat.’
