The 2018 Ford Ka+ Active is a compact and practical city car with a slightly raised ride height and rugged styling, giving it a crossover-inspired look while retaining the affordability and ease of a small hatchback. Powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine producing 85PS, it?s designed for simple, reliable everyday motoring. Performance is modest but well suited to urban and suburban driving, with 0?60 mph taking around 12.8 seconds and a top speed of approximately 105 mph. Fuel economy is a strong point, delivering up to around 50?56 mpg combined, helping to keep running costs low. The Active trim adds a bit more character, featuring unique exterior styling, roof rails and a higher driving position compared to the standard Ka+. Inside, the cabin is straightforward and functional, offering essentials such as a touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, DAB radio and steering wheel controls. Despite its compact size, the Ka+ is surprisingly practical, with five doors and enough space to comfortably seat passengers. The boot is suitable for daily use, handling shopping or small luggage with ease, making it a great option for first-time drivers or those needing a dependable runaround. On the road, it?s light and easy to drive, with good visibility and compact dimensions that make parking and manoeuvring simple. While not built for high performance, it provides a comfortable and fuss-free driving experience.
