And for nearly 50 years the Fiesta has been a huge part of that story, given its long-standing success as a British best-seller. But it seems this chapter is also coming to a close, as Ford gears up for the next automotive age and switch from internal combustion engines to electric power. Sadly, it seems, there is no longer a place for the Fiesta in that world. While news of the Fiesta’s demise is being widely reported all Ford will say for now is, “We are accelerating our efforts to go all-in on electrification and therefore review our vehicle portfolio in line with our business strategy.” The statement continues, “We do not comment on speculation and will share more information in the coming months.”




By drawing a line under the Fiesta and starting afresh with a brand-new product range Ford is clearly keen to reclaim the initiative. What will that look like? We’ll have to wait and see but, for now, it’s farewell Fiesta and thanks for all the good times!
