Detailed analysis of the Ford KA+ Active 1.50 TDCi 70 kW (95 CV) · 95 CV (2018-2020)
General description
The 2018 Ford KA+ Active is much more than just a city car. It's a statement of intent, a small vehicle dressed as an adventurer to conquer hearts and roads. With its 95 HP 1.5 TDCi diesel engine, it offers a combination of economy and spirit that makes it a surprisingly capable and characterful travel companion.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the KA+ Active feels lively and energetic. The diesel engine pulls decisively from low revs thanks to its 215 Nm of torque, making city driving agile and highway merging safe. It's not a sports car, but its acceleration is competent and its consumption of 4.1 liters is a real blessing for the wallet. The slightly raised suspension absorbs bumps well and conveys a sense of robustness, inviting you to explore dirt roads without fear, feeling a special connection with the car and the landscape.
Design and aesthetics
Its aesthetic is its soul. The Active trim transforms it, adding a dose of excitement to its practical lines. The black plastic protections on the wheel arches and bumpers, along with a higher ground clearance and roof rails, give it a crossover appearance that inspires confidence and evokes weekend getaways. It's an honest design that doesn't pretend to be what it's not, but rather offers a more versatile and passionate version of everyday life.
Technology and features
The onboard technology in the KA+ Active is functional and driver-focused. Without unnecessary frills, it offers the essentials for a comfortable and safe experience. Ford's SYNC infotainment system allows for intuitive management of music and calls, while the electric power steering and Start-Stop system contribute to a relaxed and efficient drive. It's just the right amount of technology to make life easier, without distractions.
Competition
At the time, the KA+ Active faced rivals with a similar philosophy, cars that sought to offer more than just urban mobility. Its most direct competitor was the Dacia Sandero Stepway, another utility car with an explorer's soul. It also competed with entry-level versions of small SUVs like the SEAT Arona or the Renault Captur, against which the Ford played the card of a more affordable price and an exceptionally low running cost thanks to its diesel engine.
Conclusion
The Ford KA+ Active 1.5 TDCi is a car with a huge heart. It's the perfect choice for those who seek the economy and practicality of a utility car but don't want to give up a design with personality and the possibility of going off-road from time to time. It's a faithful, economical, and surprisingly fun vehicle, a loyal friend that encourages you to experience every journey as a small adventure.
