Ford officially announced that the new Fiesta equipped with the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine has won the Women’s World Car of the Year award.

A total of 18 female motoring writers decided that the American model is worth winning this prize. There is no surprise that the EcoBoost unit gets another reward after it won the International Engine of the Year award two years in a row.
