Detailed analysis of the Ford KA+ Black Edition 1.19 Ti-VCT 63 kW (85 CV) · 86 CV (2017-2018)
General description
The 2016 Ford KA+ represents a leap in maturity for the smallest member of the Ford family. Far from the bold design of its predecessors, this model embraces practicality with its five doors and a surprisingly spacious interior. It's a car born with a clear mission: to be a faithful, spacious, and accessible urban companion, a sincere friend in the concrete jungle.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the KA+ feels honest and willing. Its 86 HP engine doesn't aim for records, but its delivery is smooth and more than enough to move with agility through the city. The five-speed manual gearbox has a pleasant feel and connects you to the drive. It feels light and easy to maneuver, a delight in narrow streets and when parking. Although it shows its limits on the open road, its heart is in the day-to-day, where its ride comfort and simplicity bring a smile to your face.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the KA+ is a statement of intent: function prevails over form. Its lines are smooth and aim to maximize interior space, achieving remarkable roominess for its size. This 'Black Edition' version adds a touch of character with contrasting black details that give it a more distinct personality. Inside, simplicity is the norm, with hard but well-assembled plastics and a logical layout of controls. It doesn't win you over at first sight, but its practicality and generous 270-liter trunk win you over with use.
Technology and features
The technology in the KA+ is just what's necessary, without complications. It focuses on offering the essentials to make life easier, like the electric power steering that makes it incredibly manageable. Its 1.2 Ti-VCT engine is a well-known entity, a simple and proven naturally aspirated mechanic, without turbos or complex systems, which translates into great reliability. Don't expect large screens or latest-generation assistants, but rather a technological package designed to last and be trouble-free.
Competition
In its time, the Ford KA+ faced giants of the urban segment. Cars like the Dacia Sandero, Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, or Fiat Panda were its direct competitors. Each had its strengths, but the KA+ fought with an excellent balance between slightly superior dynamic behavior, generous interior space, and a very competitive price, offering a very sensible alternative with the Ford seal.
Conclusion
The Ford KA+ is much more than a cheap car; it's a smart and emotional purchase for those who value practicality above all else. It's a vehicle that doesn't pretend to be something it's not, offering in return bombproof reliability, low running costs, and a space that many young families will appreciate. It's the car that gets you there, gets you back, and never lets you down, a loyal companion that leaves a mark of gratitude on the heart.
