History

Ford first sold the European Fiesta in North America for 1978–1980, then revived the nameplate for 2011 as part of its 'One Ford' global small-car strategy.

The modern Fiesta earned praise for its driving feel, and the turbocharged Fiesta ST became a benchmark budget hot hatch before North American sales ended in 2019.
