The first generation model was based on the Ford B3 platform, however, the models for the different markets showed technical and visual differences. Thus, the produced in South Africa and Mexico models were almost identical to the European Ford Fiesta, while the vehicles produced in India were equipped with cheaper to producing suspension, a simpler interiors and a simple lined front. The China-made models ranked between the two versions. In Mexico, Brazil and China, the Ikon was sold as a Fiesta sedan.
