Ford starts production of new Ka, still not coming to America
Filed under: Manufacturing/Plants, Ford
A week ahead of its debut at the Paris Motor Show, the new Ford Ka started rolling off the assembly line in Tychy Poland. The new mini Ford shares an assembly facility with the Fiat 500 with which it also shares a platform. Over the 12-year run of the original Ka, Ford built 1.4 million examples. The new model comes with a choice of 1.2L gas or 1.3L diesel engines. Ford is planning to build 120,000 Kas a year at the Polish plant but so far have given no indication of any plans to export the car outside of Europe. For now, the smallest Ford in America will remain the upcoming Fiesta.
