Released in October 2010, the Ford WT Fiesta was exported from Rayong, Thailand. For the WT Fiesta range, the three-door hatchback was discontinued, a sedan was introduced and the 1.6-litre turbo-diesel engine from the WS ECOnetic variant was made available for other variants. The four-speed automatic transmissions from the WS Fiesta were also replaced by six-speed dual clutch transmissions (DCTs, or Ford’s ‘PowerShift’). The Ford WT Fiesta could be identified by its new wheel designs and bumpers (now body-coloured for the CL); the Zetec was also fitted with a unique front bumper with honeycomb grille. Inside, the WS Fiesta’s soft dashboard cover and sequential shift facility for automatic models were omitted.

Inside, the WZ Fiesta was fitted with Ford’s SYNC connectivity system which included voice-activated Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity and audio streaming.
