Product Overview

Ford Fiesta Mk7 facelift is an affordable subcompact hatchback in production from 2021. It is available with a range of inline-3 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.5 liters.
Interestingly, as diesel goes out of favor of the European leadership class, the facelifted Mk7 Fiesta no longer comes with one. Instead, all vehicles use I3 petrol engines that are exceedingly small.
The car is rather ugly and has a poor suspension setup. One has to wonder why the consumer does not purchase a better car used or just take the bus.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
The S285 uses a so-called hybrid turbo. There are no batteries involved; it’s not that kind of hybrid. Turbo Technics takes the standard turbo and guts most of it. An ECU tune, an uprated intercooler, an induction kit and a freer-flowing exhaust ensure the turbo's increased potency isn't wasted. On the cold winter's day we drive it, it's well over it.
Pros
  • Powerful turbo
  • Excellent traction control
  • Good value
Cons
  • Not the fastest
  • Not the most fun to drive

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
The Ford Fiesta is a British motoring icon, and the latest model picks up where the old model left off at the top of the UK sales charts. It's one of the best'real-world' cars around, because it ticks all of the rational boxes, but also manages to be great fun to drive. There’s eleven models on offer, from the entry-level Trend through to the sportier ST-Line versions.
Pros
  • Best-in-class infotainment system
  • Great value for money
Cons
  • Not as affordable as it once was
