The Ford Fiesta is in its eighth generation, which is said soon. Constant European regulations and limitations to electrify utility vehicles make things difficult for him, but he holds on. This legendary A-segment remains one of those chosen by new drivers , who retain their taste for driving with a sporty feel and timeless design. However, time passes for everyone and, sooner or later, it is time for renewal. The oval firm has taken advantage of the halfway point of its life to carry out a remarkable exterior restyling, equip it with more technological equipment and make the leap to microhybridization. The new Ford Fiesta will arrive at the end of 2021 and it will do so with 4 gasoline engines, from 100 to 200 hp, but we still do not have its starting price.
The ‘facelift’ usually involve few aesthetic changes, only detectable by the most knowledgeable of the model or the brand. The new Fiesta, on the other hand, opts for a renewed image that gives it greater sophistication as well as sportiness. We see a different front, with a grill of notable dimensions and the logo in the center of it. In the 200 hp ST variants, the grille has a different pattern, in the same way that there will be the exclusive Mean Green color for them.
There are also changes in the interior, which debuts an optional 12.3-inch digital instrumentation , which is also in the Puma. The infotainment system will continue to be the SYNC3 , with an 8-inch center screen , and full compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An evolution that also applies to the section on safety and assistants, with adaptive control with Start & Go function capable of moving the car when we are in a caravan.
All these changes would be of no use if the Fiesta does not adhere to the new regulations. For this, the American firm has completely ruled out diesel blocks. In addition, it introduces the Mild Hybrid technology in its intermediate commercial offer, being able to combine with the manual or automatic transmission. The powers range from 125 to 155 hp , with the ST variant apart with its 200 hp and improvements in its maximum torque. We tell you more in the following gallery.
