The engine model is GTDIQ3A and is equipped with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125 hp and a maximum torque of 170 Nm.

I've driven a Ford Fiesta with a 1.5L engine and I'm quite familiar with the origin of this engine. It's typically produced at Ford's manufacturing plants in Mexico, like the facility in Chihuahua. Ford has production sites worldwide, but for the Fiesta model, the 1.5L engines are mainly manufactured in Mexico, ensuring affordability and reliability. From my experience, the Mexican plants emphasize quality control, resulting in engines that run quietly with good fuel efficiency, perfectly suitable for daily commutes. When buying a used car, I always check the origin label first. Those made in Mexico generally have lower maintenance costs, and their parts are more universally compatible, making it easier to find related small components at repair shops. Overall, the origin doesn't make a huge difference; the key is regular maintenance to prevent carbon buildup from shortening the car's lifespan.
