Why the Ford Fiesta has been discontinued | GRR - Goodwood
After a very successful, production run of more than 47 years, the best-selling Ford Fiesta would finally be laid to rest in June 2023...
www.goodwood.comI don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute news in this moment. Here’s what’s widely known about the Ford Fiesta Mark II (the original Mk2 introduced in the 1980s):
- The Ford Fiesta Mark II refers to the second generation of the Fiesta, which launched in the early 1980s as an evolution of the original supermini to improve handling, comfort, and efficiency. It kept the same compact hatchback form but incorporated updated styling, interior, and engine options compared with the Mk1. If you’re asking about a specific replaceable model year or regional variant, I can narrow that down with a bit more detail.
- In the broader Ford Fiesta timeline, production of the Fiesta family continued through several generations, with the most recent generations moving toward electrification in Europe. The more recent, sixth generation (and beyond) eventually gave way to discontinuation in 2023 as Ford shifted focus to electric models in Europe. If you’re specifically after contemporary news about the Mk II lineage (e.g., preservation, restoration news, or historical retrospectives), I can help locate detailed sources or archives.
Would you like me to look up recent articles or databases that specialize in classic Ford models, or would you prefer a concise overview of the Mk II’s key specifications and historical context? If you can share a year range or region (e.g., Europe vs. other markets), I can tailor the information.
