The facelift fronts rarely look better than on the original model. I find the previous ST-Line design more appealing on the front. But I like the digital cluster and deepened red tail lights. Again on the front... Making fog lights integrated on the headlamps, makes the car front kinda incomplete.
Every car brand is doing that nowadays: integrated fog lights. I already own a previous version of the ST-Line (2016 MK7.5 first model), so I have no plans yet for "upgrading" to this new model (very happy with my current one). But I absolutely like the styling of the new model. I looks stylish, luxurious, sporty. A bit of many things. Classy. 👌
Just bought the 2021 ST-Line (still on order) and whilst this new facelift is alright, I believe the (now old) version that I will be getting looks more aggressive, each to their own but I am glad I bought the 2021 styling 😊
new front looks like hyundai i20 :/ will always prefer my 2018 ST-Line. Also the logo on the grill wasn"t a good idea imo. Looking forward to the 2024 Fiesta
@@nielsaquareef5137 same as all manufacturers now a days though to be honest. Look at merceds from c class to s class interior and exterior are almost identical just from how it looks
I have the 2020 Fiesta ST3, I don’t think I’ll be upgrading any time soon. I love to digital cluster on the new model, but I am not sure about the front end!
I’m on my second Fiesta Vignale. I’m a bit underwhelmed by the new one, it doesn’t seem that different. No Vignale model anymore, Vignale is now just an option pack. The only new feature really seems to be digital instruments - not really worth upgrading a car for.
just got a 21 plate vignale with the 155bhp engine,its a smashing car.Little bit expensive but i wanted something special for my retirement and thats what i got.No new vignale fiesta sounds strange,perhaps not selling too many who knows.
I have owned two love them, but Ford can you give an interior colour choice rather that all that dull grey and make seats in the Titanium more comfortable, our leather seats are so hard!
@@louisbarningham i love the car its our second one after a Focus, but the heated leather seats are hard and slippery, my wife wants to sell it, the seats in our first one were ok.
hey Ford, is it true that the automatic option is a DCT powershift? If so and powershift is making a comeback, i hope this gets offered in the focus ST automatic
Have you actually driven a fiesta with the 1.5 I3? I'll keep mine over that vacuum sounding 1.6 anyday. Not to mention the performance which is better in basically every aspect, as well as being more modifiable.
It`s such a shame Ford stopped selling cars in the U.S. I really wish we would have seen a year or so of the new generation instead of Ford Cars going out with a whimper. Nonetheless I`m in love with the new Fiesta, now that`s a Hot Hatch!! Have fun with these overseas!
The inflated price of the new model since the pre-facelift ST coming with lower specification is nothing les than extortion. What I can’t believe is Fords customers are only finding out the loss of equipment after picking up there new cars. Ford dealers were are all advised of the omissions from the last model in September 21, but felt (or were advised) not to come clean with customers. I believe this is a clear case of miss-selling...... The following list gives some of the missing equipment compared with the pre- facelift model. 1,Exterior Mirrors - Power Fold Mirrors (Heated) 2, blind-spot monitoring and rear-cross traffic alert 3, Rain Sensing Automatic Windscreen Wipers 4, Auto-dimming Rear View Mirror 5, Forward Collision Warning 6, Lane Keeping Aid with Lane Departure Warning 7, Exterior Mirrors - Puddle Lamps
... and in the UK, only available in a very limited range of colours, just 6 for the non-ST versions and all are "boring" :-( What happened to Candy Red and Candy Blue, Hot Mustard etc?
Design is subjective. This certainly took me back at first, I can't say so was a fan when I initially saw it. But it's growing on me, looks a little more aggressive and mature.
@@KB-bh9hp more aggressive? It looks a whole lot less aggressive with that happy smiley-face grill and that rudolph nose Ford logo in the middle.. Seriously open 2 tabs, search for the new and the old model and compare the two side by side. The old one looks much sleeker and more modern.
If Ford brought the new Fiesta ST to the US I’d gladly pay MSRP+ for it. I just bought my second MK7 and I love it. It’s a shame Ford gave up on cars here…
I hate that ford doesn't bring the ST version to South Africa including the specification available in Europe. And it's also sad that ford SA discontinued the Mondeo / fusion thier marketing team was sleeping here they need to be all rehauled
But Ford didn't launch this car in India . Instead of launching this car in Indian market Ford ran away from India . If the standard version of this Fiesta would came to India then it would give tough competition to Hyundai i20 , Maruti Suzuki Baleno , TATA Altroz , Honda Jazz & Volkswagen Polo . 😓😓😓
@@gabrielion9313 not true for America or South Africa. They said our fuel quality isn't optimal. So the last fiesta we got was the st200. While every other hot hatch is taking over the market. Ford has honestly lost it 😪☹
As an owner of a mk7.5 st fiesta this is getting ridiculous. They put horrible seats that i don't understand why they did on theyr own instead of letting recaro do it for them like theyr previous models, badge on the grille, a worst looking wheels than the ones on the stline, the rear diffuser of the same colour of the car, not aggressive at all.....it seems that they forgot what an st is
The 2021 looks better imho. The front has lost a bit of edge, the profile looks a bit blunt, it has lost a lot of its sharpness... Oh well... Can't buy neither so screw that.
It looks fantastic, everyone should trade in the old model for the new one. (Then i can pick up an older, better looking ST at a reasonable price)😉
Which one do you have right now: 2013-2016 ST?
The facelift fronts rarely look better than on the original model.
I find the previous ST-Line design more appealing on the front.
But I like the digital cluster and deepened red tail lights.
Again on the front... Making fog lights integrated on the headlamps, makes the car front kinda incomplete.
My exact thoughts. However, I've got to admit that I do like the new front grill on the new ST-line.

Wish ford wouldn't have stopped selling cars in the states.
You should have bought cars then, instead of SUVs.
@@neovenom9833 we have a fusion which is fantastic

Now that’s a good looking car.
Just no
I'm gonna start crying, just sold my old one and I was considering buying the new one, it looks so bad I cannot
You are taking the piss it looks hideous
@@jack56794 Looks like a fish but with smaller eyes
@@jack56794 I mean why the whole front looks so round? But with sharp lines for the grille? I mean choose a style!
Ford please don’t put the badge in the grille it ruins the whole car. Badge needs to be on the hood like before.
Yes, not a good look.
Disagree
Totally agree this looks hideous
The whole car?😂😂seriously, that ruins the whole car?
@@SupreemTeam yup for me it does, just as the oversized bmw grille ruins their whole car aswell
When will we see the new facelift of the Focus?
i expect a Copy paste from the fiesta on the focus body
@@nielsaquareef5137 same as all manufacturers now a days though to be honest. Look at merceds from c class to s class interior and exterior are almost identical just from how it looks
Facelift of the focus is expected to be here early to mid next year from what I’ve heard
Those new ST seats look horrendous - anyone in the back might as well be facing the other way with how much they'd (not) see past those things!
ST ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So you made the old Kuga look like the Fiesta then updated the Fiesta to look like the old Kuga?
Thats fucked up😂😂
Ford Always the best.
I have the 2020 Fiesta ST3, I don’t think I’ll be upgrading any time soon. I love to digital cluster on the new model, but I am not sure about the front end!
Yeah they’ve ruined the front with the badge on the grill. Seats on the ST look ugly as well - only thing that’s nice is the digital cluster.
i have the st line early 2021. Prefer my front end
@@x12flare73 yea, I’m kinda hoping the digital cluster can be retrofit into the mk8. It’s a long shot though!
I do prefer my 2020 ST-Line exterior looks, i was hoping that the facelift wasn't prettier, so it's ok.
The digital cluster retrofit looks doable.
@@MadeiraMotorsports I hope so bro, the digital cluster is literally the only bit I prefer over the mk8.
Yay so happy the new ones out, it looks fantastic!!
That logo positioning makes the new fiesta look like sid from ice age
Love the look off the white st line
I think that the front does not match the sleeker body lines, plus it looks overloaded. I like the pre facelift a lot more.
Does it have wireless android auto or is it just wired like the old one?
Looking Gorgeous. Hope this was in India, miss the ford.
I was so excited for the American version. But then I saw it said Ford Europe, and Americans don't get any more cars from Ford. Damn i want that st.
you don't get them because you don't buy them
Ford ❤️
There is no Titanium version?
Looks really amazing! Hopefully the New Focus to!

Its not meant to be a whole new model or generation of fiesta its just a mid life refresh so its just little touch ups to keep it modern.
Best fiesta yet especially in mean green
I have owned two love them, but Ford can you give an interior colour choice rather that all that dull grey and make seats in the Titanium more comfortable, our leather seats are so hard!
I like the seats on titanium.. they hold you in your place around corners really well

As a fan of the Fiesta ST, I miss the 1.6L I4 engine
Why ?

I don't miss it, because I just have to hop in my Fiesta ST200 to enjoy it.😄

Fiesta is still going to be the best selling car in the UK with this release
looks good. since you revealed this im expecting you to also reveal the new focus and mondeo replacement pretty soon
focus yes mondeo is a thing of the past they announcent earlier this year the mondeo was no longer going to be made
@@nathancoidan the comment litteraly says "replacement"
@@nathancoidan like the guy said above. I know its not going to be made. Thus replacement. Lol
The Fiesta car are so nice and maybe I would buy one
automatic gearbox on fiesta st?
I have a 2021 ST on order and I'm glad I didn't wait for the facelift, cause those new seats look horrendous !!
iloved the new design of fiesta more matured now nice one ford
Looks good. Although I prefer the Ford badge being on top of the bumper and not in the grille.
If the "adventure" package has flat fold down back seats, it might be a go. If it's like my 2013 that doesn't, forget it.
honestly I think 2021 model looked better , especially the st-line version, this new look is more generic and less sporty than the previous one.
Yeah agree there pal, I've got the current ST line on order (due NOV) & having seen this version I'm so glad I didn't wait for this one.
@@motorbikez I got my st-line some months ago, awesome car, comfortable to drive for multiple hours and perfect balanced engine for daily use.

Beautiful proportion car''
Hm i think the 2021 one is better 🙃
The front grill is very simple ...also the Recaro seats are better
Any word on pricing? The Mk8 ST can already be specced to just under £30k OTR
I heard they will be a few hundred more than the last. Nothing crazy
Looks too top heavy. A lower and wider look would have been preferred. The Mk7 Fiesta was the best design. The Mk8 is just disappointing.
We still don't get this in the US -_-. Guess I'll stick with my MK7 ST
The best one.
Transmission Issue fixed?
Bonjour merci c'est vraiment très beau comme voiture elle est très jolie et possède une nouvelle allure très jolie.. Merci beaucoup.

South Africa, please!
Looks nice im glad the badge is back on the grille
Does anyone genuinely think the new st looks better than the old model? If you put both side by side, the old one looks much better.

@@cy9nvs It looks good, but so does this.
The design of it is fine, although the prefacelift fiesta is way meaner, which does not make me want to upgrade my 2020 model to the facelift version.
As a Ford Fiesta owner and fan, a bit disappointed that a full hybrid version hasn’t been considered like the Toyota Yaris 😔
Coz it doesn’t run on electricity
I own a 2018 model and I love it, but this new design is not bad either
Dear Ford,
Now that EV's are dead here in the USA, could you please bring back the Fiesta ST. The two door model please.
Come back to India please
Wow nice FORD
Bring to Brazil, please.
Muito lindo 😍
Beautiful! What song is that aswell?
Peugeot, Opel, VW already have small electric version of their cars, where is yours?
Just a rather pointless mild-hybrid on offer. Ford playing catch-up.
because they said that they will first keep making hybrids till they are forced to no longer be able to make ICE cars.
@@Pand0rasAct0r_ that's a poor decision, deny inevitable. Like Thanos
When will it launch in India then ? 😝

No to the logo in the grill congratz on the st seats and the rest
Dear FORD why you people don't launch car like this in INDIA 🇮🇳...
Hopefully the ST sounds decent with the petrol particulate filter on it
Porque não trás para o Brasil?
Bring it on over to US

glad I got the mark 8 those seats suck an fog lights should be seperate,
Hope ford wil reconsider its decision of Indian business...
Mk8 exterior is better, but the mk9 interior is obviously better

It should be called ford fiesta (go) like Datsun go
