With a comeback after 4 decades and 1.8 million sales, the public will witness the return of a new Ford Fiesta that leaves many drivers excited; check out the details of this new iconic car.
New Ford Fiesta Will Be Produced in Partnership with Volkswagen

Nothing has been decided yet, but the arrival of a new Ford car cannot be ruled out.

Peugeot publicly acknowledged the errors of the PureTech engine, which caused serious failures in hundreds of thousands of cars, and introduced the new Turbo 100 as a definitive solution, a 1.2 turbo tested for over 3 million kilometers that replaces the faulty belt with a more durable chain.
Rumors also confirm that, despite the high expectations, nothing has been decided yet, but given the good relationship between the manufacturers in Europe, opportunities may arise and will not be dismissed. Thus, it was also explained at the time that smaller vehicles do not offer the margins that the automaker hopes to achieve abroad in its electrified revival.
According to the executive, smaller vehicles have a lower margin. There is no scale from the Volkswagen Group or Stellantis in Europe, and small vehicles like the Ford Fiesta are not the core of Ford Motor Company.
Ford Invests US$ 2 Billion in Its Factory
The topic of a new Ford car arose after the brand ended the production of its compact car at the Cologne, Germany, factory a few years ago. The complex received a US$ 2 billion investment for conversion into a production hub for electric vehicles based on VW’s MEB platform for Europe.
There, the first EV to be manufactured will be the new Ford vehicle called Electric Explorer, which will arrive later this year. According to Ford CEO, Jim Farley, the brand is now focusing on developing smaller entry-level electric cars, specifically targeting competition with Chinese brands like BYD and Tesla.
However, in addition to the new Ford Fiesta, no details were mentioned about possible entry-level electric cars from the American brand. Among the potential solutions are the expansion of the partnership with Volkswagen or even a partnership with a Chinese automaker. In February, the brand also revealed that it was working on the confidential development of a platform for affordable electric cars after two years of work.
History of the Ford Fiesta in Brazil
For those who don’t know, Ford recently removed its last combustion-engine Ford Fiesta from its production lines in Europe.
The model, not only in Brazil but worldwide, has always been seen as a true icon. According to media data, with its launch about 40 years ago, the last unit of the Fiesta was produced on July 7 of last year.
With 47 years in production, the Ford Fiesta has sold over 18 million units worldwide. The history of this iconic compact car officially comes to an end; however, there is now a significant chance it may return as a new battery-powered Ford vehicle.
