    Exterior design

    Inspired by Ford’s neat design solutions, the sweetheart is well-proportioned and showcases neat high-mounted trapezoidal grille, large headlamps, overall tight body shape and this agility and ride-ready stance. Also, especially for the European buyers, Ford team added a two-piece rear fascia with black components that further enhance the agile character of the vehicle.

    Interior styling

    Space. This is the keyword. Or, at least, Ford team wants it to be. The new KA+ offers generous space for five people and just enough luggage space. The vehicle is a bit shorter, combined to the predecessor model, but it compromises with 29mm additional height. Furthermore, many of the components in the cabin, seats, door panels and roof headliner in this number, have been optimized to deliver additional headroom and legroom. Sweet.

    In terms of styling, the interior comes with sweet grained finish on the instrument panel and hard-wearing, modern-day trim materials and overall dark charcoal color theme. There are also some chrome components and accents that further contribute to this modern and sweet design.
