Ford Fiesta Mk7 revs at highway speed

Hello my dudes!

I have a 2009 Ford Fiesta Ti-VCT with the 1.6 120hp in sight, and I was wondering what what engine RPM does it rev at 120km/h and 130km/h.

I did previously have a 2007 Swift Sport, and 4200rpm at 130km/h resulted in a high fuel consumption on highways. 120km/h was the sweet spot.

It’s gonna be my only car, and I want to know how loud and fuel efficient it is on long journeys.

Cheers!

At 70 mph, my 2012 1.6 was running at about 3000 RPM in 5th gear.

That’s decent! Thanks for the answer!

No worries, they should have given them a 6th gear.

Totally agree. Given that they also made a slightly spicier version of the Ti-VCT. On the Swift Sport, they’ve corrected that on the following generation.
