One of the oldest but most popular cars on sale will finally be replaced when this new Ford Ka is launched in January.

The supermini, which scooped multiple BusinessCar Awards, will be revealed to the public at October’s Paris motor show where full details of engines, emissions and economy will be released.

The current Ka was launched 12 years ago, making it one of the longest surviving new cars on sale. Though traditionally retailed-focussed, the baby Ford still survives in the top 50 fleet models chart, shifting more than 3500 units in the first half of this year.
