Ford introduced the Active trim level for the seventh generation Fiesta in 2017 and promised a better ride over bumpy roads and higher ground clearance for safe drives over unpaved roads.

2005 - 2008

Ford introduced the fifth generation of the Fiesta in 2002, and, surprisingly, it came with a refreshed version just three years later. With the 2005 refresh, Ford tried to make its cars safer, and it succeeded. It needed better grades from the EuroNCAP crash tests, which meant more safety systems in the base trim level. Also, worth mentioning that starting with January 2005, all vehicles had...

2002 - 2005

Ford continued the successful Fiesta range in 2004 with the introduction of the sixth generation. Its small dimensions made it an excellent contender in the small-class segment.

The Fiesta was a good answer, an...

Ford introduced the fourth generation of the Fiesta in 1995 and refreshed-it in 1999. Although it wasn't a completely new car, it had a totally different face.

The compact-sized vehicle was such a...

1995 - 1999

The 1995 Fiesta was one of the best cars in its class when it was introduced, and its main advantages were the low running costs.

While the Escort was more of a facelift, the Fiesta's design went through a more significant upgrade. The designers...

1989 - 1995

The third generation of the Fiesta was the first to receive a 5-door version, which led to a huge commercial success on the European market. While the Eastern Europe communist countries were free again, a new market was opened for the car manufacturers. It was perfect timing for Ford to introduce a small, five-door vehicle, which was more affordable than most of the other German vehicles on t...
