The Ford KA Metal 2012: Promotion of the month at Ford

February 14, 2012 Leave a Comment

The Ford KA MetalSince Ford literally devotes a portion of its website, the Metal KA does not seem to be a simple refinement of the original KA. However, the small city of the American manufacturer shares many elements with his little sister.

Both are equipped with the same small 1.2 liter engine developing 69 horsepower. They also benefit from the same system “Stop & Start”.

The main difference between both cars is therefore manifested in anesthetics. The Ford KA Metal is entitled to a metallic paint and a specific interior black and chrome. However, the only three colors available for the latter are Starry Grey, Pearl Grey and Black Celeste.

Although the base price of the Metal KA is set at 13,050 Euros, it is possible, until February 29, you get it for less than 9000 Euros. The principle is simple, bring a car with 10 years or more to the dealer and receive a discount of 4,060 Euros to buy a Ford KA Metal 2012.

In reality, the Ford KA Metal is not being a finish of many of the small city of the American manufacturer. Still, it’s a safe bet that Ford will not hesitate to apply that formula to all of its vehicles if the Metal KA is a great success.
