Production

On November 29, 2016, the seventh-generation Fiesta (Mark VII, or Mark VIII in UK) was announced in Germany, being bigger, roomier, safer, more efficient, and more upmarket. The Fiesta range expanded to include new additions - a crossover-styled variant called the Fiesta Active, and the luxury Fiesta Vignale. Unlike previous generations, the Fiesta has been phased out from North America, South America, Australasia (except for ST versions), and Asia. However, the Ford Fiesta ST continued to be sold in Australia due to popularity.

Fiesta ST (2018–2023)

On February 24, 2017, the seventh-generation Fiesta ST was announced in Europe. It features an all-new 200 PS three-cylinder, 1.5-litre Ecoboost engine with turbocharger and cylinder deactivation technology. On March 12, 2018, Ford announced that a limited-slip differential would be offered for the first time on the Fiesta ST as an optional extra. The Fiesta ST was released on May 7, 2018. It is heavier than the previous ST model, and can go from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 6.5 seconds. The power and torque outputs are 197 bhp (200 PS) and 290 N⋅m (214 lbf⋅ft) respectively, which match the figures of the limited-edition Fiesta ST200 of the previous generation. It is produced in either a three-door or five-door body style, and is fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox, with no option of an automatic. The Ford Fiesta ST won Top Gear's Hot Hatch and Car of the Year for 2018. In April 2019, Ford announced a new limited-edition model to the ST range called the "Performance Edition". Although named "Performance", the Fiesta ST does not gain any power upgrades to the standard ST. The car is based on the ST-3 model and comes with multiple options that would normally be a cost option to an ST, such as LED headlights, B&O sound system, and Performance Pack. To differentiate the Performance Edition, the car comes with exclusive options, namely standard Deep Orange paint, adjustable coilover suspension, and lighter multispoke alloy wheels.

2022 facelift

In September 2021, Ford announced and released images of the facelifted Ford Fiesta, and Fiesta ST due to be released at the beginning of 2022. The new models come with a new front bumper, other visual modifications and a new 'Wrong Way Alert' safety feature over the previous model. The higher specification models also include increased torque, matrix LED headlights and upgraded technology like a fully digital instrument binnacle. The 3-door Fiesta was discontinued during spring 2022. Due to being derived from the 3-door version, the Fiesta Van was also discontinued as well.

Discontinuation

Ford executives in October 2022 announced that the Fiesta was set to be discontinued by mid-2023, due to the rising cost of parts and drivers opting for SUVs, and the company wanting to focus on electrification of its vehicles. The final Fiesta was produced on July 7, 2023, with the last two cars destined for Ford's heritage fleets; one in Germany and one in the UK. == References ==
