Ford Ka+ pictures

The Ford Ka+ is based on the Fiesta supermini, but it's significantly cheaper

The upright shape means interior space in the Ka+ is impressive

It's only available with a 1.2-litre petrol engine, though two power outputs are offered 

Ford fits every Ka+ with electric windows, Bluetooth connectivity and front electric windows

If you want the more powerful petrol engine you'll need to upgrade to Zetec trim

The entry-level Studio model also does without alloy wheels, so most buyers are expected to make the upgrade to Zetec

Both versions of the petrol engine officially return 56.5mpg

Interior quality is reasonable for this class of car, while the overall dashboard design is pretty decent

Ford offers its 'MyKey' as an option, which lets parents limit the stereo volume and keep the Ka+'s safety systems active

Four six-foot-tall adults can get reasonably comfortable inside the Ka+

You sit upright in the Ka+, which prevents lounging out but ensures legroom is good

Being based on the Fiesta means the Ka+ is rewarding and engaging to drive

Performance isn't what you'd call brisk: the more powerful engine gets the Ka+ from 0-62mph in 13.6 seconds

It's a good idea to order Ford's reasonably-priced City Pack, which includes electric rear windows and parking sensors
