Announcing the new Fiesta's arrival, Michael Boneham, president and managing director, Ford India said, ''We are delighted the new Fiesta is coming to India. It will provide Indian customers a premium sedan that reflects their personality in terms of style, technology and performance, and will add a new level of diversity and dynamism to our showrooms."
