The Fiesta history

The Ford Fiesta was first manufactured in 1976 and is one of the UK’s most popular supermini cars, making it a staple in the Ford family. The name ‘Fiesta’ means ‘party’ in Spanish, and although Ford’s marketing team preferred the name ‘Bravo’, Henry Ford himself vetoed it in favour of the Fiesta name. With over 12 million sold in the UK since its launch, the Fiesta has been one of the nation’s favourites for almost five decades. Known for its comfort, reliability and utility, this small family run-around is now an integral part of British life.

Modern Fiestas have come a long way from their humble, sparsely equipped beginnings in 1976; now they are a gadget-laden, multi-functional vehicle full of features. Not only have the new models got more features, but they’re also much quieter than their predecessors; this is down to the modern design and engineering, which allow for a smoother, quieter journey whether you’re city driving, on the motorway or driving on the smaller B roads.

The improvements are not limited to just the features of the Fiesta but also the engine. Over the years, the Fiesta has had an array of different engines under its bonnet, ranging from a small 1-litre petrol to even a 1.8- and 2-litre petrol. Currently, the largest engine available for the Fiesta is a 1.5 turbo in both petrol and diesel.

There is a wide range of trim levels available:

Fiesta Studio

The Fiesta Studio was originally launched in the UK market in 2011 and was dropped from production in 2016. The Studio is a no-thrill, basic car with very little in the way of ‘in-car’ gadgetry. Equipped with body coloured spoiler and front and rear bumpers, the Studio certainly looks great for its low-price tag. The Studio has electronic power assisted steering (EPAS), Ford’s Intelligent Protection System, and anti-locking brakes with EBD and EBA. In terms of gadgets, radio/CD player with USB and AUX inputs and electronic heated door mirrors are as much as you get, while driver and passenger airbags are fitted along with curtain and side airbags.

Fiesta Style

The Fiesta Style was released alongside the Studio and comes fitted with the same features, plus the addition of air conditioning and lowered suspension. This trim had a slightly higher price compared to the Studio but was another low-cost entry model of the Fiesta. Like the Studio, it was also discontinued in 2016 but you can still occasionally find this efficient cheap run-around for sale at a bargain price.

Fiesta Zetec

The Zetec comes equipped with 14-inch, 5x2 spoke alloy wheels. As with the other entry level trims, the Zetec comes with electric power assisted steering and EBD and EBA brakes. It carries on from where the Style left off and is fitted with lowered suspension and driver, passenger and side curtain airbags for maximum safety. It also features a heated windscreen and heated electric mirrors for those frosty mornings, while it comes with same no-frill CD/radio player with the usual connectivity of AUX and USD. The Zetec was the base model from 1998 all the way through to 2019 when it was replaced by the Trend.

Fiesta Zetec S

The Zetec S, as the name suggests, is the Zetec with a few additional options as standard. The Zetec S comes with the larger 16-inch, 12-spoke alloy wheels and a full body style kit. Many of the other features are the same as the base model but with the addition of a rear spoiler, trip computer and Bluetooth hands-free as standard.

Fiesta Titanium

The Titanium trim is an attention-grabbing option, even without the body kit that some of the other trims sport. Instead, the Titanium comes with chrome detailing on the exterior, LED day lights and 16-inch alloy wheels. Unlike the other trims mentioned, the Titanium comes with electric folding mirrors and a premium Sony stereo that is Bluetooth-ready so it’s easy to connect to your chosen device. Automatic features are found throughout the Titanium, including automatic wipers, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and automatic headlights. Cruise control assists the driver further, making the Titanium a great option for whatever the journey. The Titanium comes with the option of two engines: the EcoBoost petrol and EcoBoost turbo diesel, which both feature Ford’s Ecoboost management system to create a truly efficient drive.

Fiesta ST-Line Edition

The ST-Line edition provides all the styling and features found in the ST edition performance trims but without the performance engine and less of the thrills that are associated with the ST trims. It is a perfect way of getting the ST look but without the additional investment.

Fiesta Vignale

The Vignale edition is Ford’s luxury trim that is available across models. The Vignale badge now acts as more of an add-on to the various other trims and affords the car with a host of luxury options, such as a Bang & Olufsen sound system and leather interior.

Fiesta ST-2

When new, the ST-2 was only fractionally more expensive than the ST-1 but was fitted with a lot more bang for your buck. That’s why there tends to be more of this used Fiesta ST available on the second-hand market than the ST-1. The ST 2 has part-leather Recaro seats instead of the full cloth that are in the ST-1; they can also be heated in the ST-2. On top of that, the ST-2 is equipped with a better Sony stereo system for improved sound quality. You also get rear tinted windows, keyless ignition and LED daylight running lights.

Fiesta ST Performance

The Fiesta ST Performance edition is an addition above the flagship ST-3. Ford decided to make further improvements to their top-level trim ST-3 and produce an even higher spec (limited to just 600 units) version. The differences between the ST-3 and the ST Performance are fairly minimal with the most obvious being that the ST Performance is only available in the vibrant orange paint. Other than the eye-catching orange, the ST Performance alloy wheels are of a different design that are lighter and shave 7kg off the car’s weight. Unsurprisingly, the ST Performance comes with the ‘Performance pack’, also available with the ST-3 as standard, giving the ST Performance the addition of the Quaife limited-slip differential, launch control and shift light.

The supermini car is a popular segment with the Ford Fiesta facing competition from the Renault Clio, Kia Picanto, Vauxhall Corsa and Toyota Yaris to name a few.
