STORY

Ford launched the Fiesta in 1976 as a small hatchback, and the name lasted 47 years. In the UK it was the best-selling car in the market every year from 2009 to 2020, and the SMMT already reported in 2013 that it had held first place since 2009. The last one was built in Cologne on Friday 7 July 2023, after more than 22 million Fiestas worldwide, the plant being converted to battery-electric production. Ford counts eight generations.
