What is the Ford Fiesta SE’s top speed?
I’m buying my daughter a used car for her birthday. I want to make sure the car I get her is safe and slow, so she won’t feel inclined toward any risky behavior. What’s the top speed on a Ford Fiesta SE?

Keeping a
first-time driver
in check can be a stressful task, but it helps when the car they drive is working in your favor! The Ford Fiesta SE
has a top speed of only 112 mph. This applies to almost all model years except for 2017, which saw a slight increase to 114 mph.Here are some other important specs and details to consider for this not-so-zippy sedan:
- 0-to-60 mph acceleration time of 9.1 to 10 seconds depending on the model year
- Offered with 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission
- Certain model years offered with a turbocharged three-cylinder engine
- A 4-star safety rating (out of 5 stars) from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a top rating of “Good” from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)
Since you don’t want your daughter being tempted by speed, you’ll probably want to avoid a used Fiesta SE with the optional turbocharged engine. You’ll also want to make sure your daughter can
drive a stick
if you choose to buy a Fiesta SE with the manual transmission.No matter what car you find for your daughter, she’ll need a good
car insurance
policy to cover it. Whether you’re taking on the insurance payment or she is, your family can use the Jerry
app to find the cheapest rates around. Just download the app, complete a quick 45-second sign-up, and see how millions of users save an average of over $800 when they shop with Jerry.View full answer
