Developed by
Ford Brazil,
[34] the Ford Ka Concept was unveiled in Brazil in November 2013.

The '+' in the name shows the fact how Ford sees this as a budget
B-segment car (such as the
MG 3 or the
Dacia Sandero), rather than an
A-segment car (like the
Volkswagen Up or the
Hyundai i10).
The new model is based on Ford's
global B platform, sharing its underpinnings with the
Fiesta supermini,
[34] and embodies Ford's
Kinetic 2.0 design theme.

In Brazil, it is offered with a choice of two petrol engines:
[34] a 1.0-litre three-cylinder, developing 59 kW (80 PS) and 100 N⋅m (74 lb⋅ft), or a 1.5-litre four-cylinder, developing 77 kW (105 PS) and 143 N⋅m (105 lb⋅ft).
In Europe, the Ka+ comes with only one engine, a 1.2-litre unit, that comes with either 51 kW (70 PS), in the Studio or the Zetec trim levels, or 63 kW (85 PS), exclusively in the Zetec model.
