While the Ford Fiesta has retired, use this page to see our alternatives, information for Fiesta owners and used Ford Fiestas.
www.ford.ieI don’t have up-to-the-minute news in this moment, but I can share the latest widely reported context about the Ford Fiesta Mark II and its trajectory up to recently.
Direct answer
- There is no current “Ford Fiesta Mark II” as a new model in production. The Ford Fiesta lineage has seen discontinuation in recent years, with the model ending production in 2023 in Cologne and Ford shifting focus to electrified lineups.[3][4]
Context and key points
- History of the Fiesta: The Fiesta has a long production history dating back to the 1970s, with multiple generations. Recent reporting confirms the sixth generation (and later variants) are part of the discontinued lineup, culminating in the final vehicles produced in 2023.[4][3]
- End of production: Ford publicly announced discontinuation of the Fiesta, citing rising parts costs and a strategic shift toward SUVs and electrification. The last Fiesta rolled off the line in mid-2023, and Ford indicated it would not continue the traditional hatchback in most markets.[4]
- Market status post-discontinuation: In markets where the Fiesta previously sold strongly, Ford directs customers to alternatives in its current lineup and offers support for Fiesta owners via warranty and service information, even as the model itself is no longer in regular production.[6]
What people often mean by “Fiesta Mark II”
- If you’re referencing a potential “Mark II” variant as a successor to the original Ford Fiesta Mark I (1976–1983), there has been no official Ford release or confirmation of a modern revival designated as “Mark II.” The company’s historical nomenclature differs across generations, and a contemporary revival would be announced by Ford if pursued.[7][4]
Illustration
- If you’re looking for a quick visual, you can think of the Fiesta’s evolution as a long-running compact hatchback arc that ends with the sixth generation and a shift toward electrified, crossover-oriented models rather than a direct new “Mark II” successor.[3][4]
