Finally, a new 2021 Ford Fiesta will arrive with a facelift. Interestingly, Blue Oval didn’t update this model for a long time. Fiesta will remain a cute and small car with a stylish appearance. It does look adorable but thanks to its ST-Line, you can have a more aggressive version. Fiesta offers short rear end and it features good aerodynamics.
The front fascia comes with a recognizable trapezoidal mesh grille and sharp headlights. All of these features will be updated, but not replaced.
