The Ford Fiesta Mk7 (Mk8 in the United Kingdom) is the seventh and last generation of the Ford Fiesta supermini. Originally introduced in 2016, it was available in both 3-door hatchback and panel van derivatives. In 2018, the Fiesta ST was released. The model underwent a facelift in 2022.

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.{{Cite news|url=http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ford/fiesta/93556/new-2017-ford-fiesta-specs-official-pictures-and-qa|title=New 2017 Ford Fiesta: specs, official pictures and Q&A|newspaper=Auto Express|access-date=November 30, 2016}}

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.{{Cite news|url=http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ford/fiesta/97192/all-new-2018-ford-fiesta-st-unveiled-with-197bhp|title=All-new 2018 Ford Fiesta ST unveiled with 197bhp|newspaper=Auto Express|access-date=February 24, 2017}} 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.{{cite news|title=All-New Ford Fiesta ST Offers Limited-Slip Differential and Debuts Patented Technology for Ultimate Driving Dynamics|url=https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/feu/en/news/2018/03/12/all-new-ford-fiesta-st-offers-limited-slip-differential-and-debu.html|access-date=March 15, 2018}} The Fiesta ST was released on May 7, 2018.{{Cite news|url=http://fiesta.fordpresskits.com/documents/2018FordFiesta_ST_Drive_EU.pdf|title=All-New Ford Fiesta ST Takes Hot-Hatch Performance to the Next Level with Industry-First Technologies|date=May 8, 2018|access-date=May 16, 2018|archive-date=May 17, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180517010059/http://fiesta.fordpresskits.com/documents/2018FordFiesta_ST_Drive_EU.pdf|url-status=dead}} It is heavier than the previous ST model, and can go from zero to {{convert|62|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} in 6.5 seconds.

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, lowered and adjustable ride height, and lighter multispoke alloy wheels.{{cite news|title=Performance Edition|url=https://www.evo.co.uk/news/22535/ford-reveals-limited-run-fiesta-st-performance-edition|access-date=October 2, 2019}}

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.{{Cite web |title=Ford va arrêter la Fiesta 3 portes - Moniteur Automobile |url=https://www.moniteurautomobile.be/actu-auto/marche/ford-va-arreter-fiesta-3-portes.html |access-date=2022-04-22 |website=www.moniteurautomobile.be |language=fr}} Due to being derived from the 3-door version, the Fiesta Van was also discontinued as well.{{Cite web |title=Ford Fiesta Van removed from sale|url=https://www.parkers.co.uk/vans-pickups/news/2022/ford-fiesta-van-cancelled/ |access-date=2022-04-22 |website=www.parkers.co.uk |language=en}}

Marketing

On July 20, 2017, Ford UK released an advertisement of the Fiesta featuring actress Keeley Hawes.{{cite web|author=Stewart, Rebecca|date=July 21, 2017|title=Ad of the Day: Ford gets nostalgic as it enlists Keeley Hawes to chart evolution of the Fiesta|url=http://www.thedrum.com/news/2017/07/21/ad-the-day-ford-gets-nostalgic-it-enlists-keeley-hawes-chart-evolution-the-fiesta|access-date=August 2, 2017|publisher=The Drum}}

Discontinuation

Ford executives in October 2022 announced that the Fiesta is set to be discontinued by mid-2023, as costs of parts rise and drivers opt for SUVs, and the company wants to focus on electrification of its vehicles.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63391466 |title=Ford Fiesta car set to be discontinued as model scrapped |date=25 October 2022|first1=Theo |last1=Leggett |first2=Lora |last2=Jones |publisher=BBC News & BBC Business}}

In June 2023, Ford confirmed that the last Fiesta would be produced on July 7, with the last two cars destined for Ford's heritage fleets; one in Germany and one in the UK.{{Cite web |title=Confirmed: Ford Fiesta production to end next week |url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/confirmed-ford-fiesta-production-end-next-week |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=Autocar |language=en}}
