Ford Fiesta is one of the best-selling models of the American automaker for quite a long time. Now, with the auto industry increasingly focused on electric vehicles and SUVs, keeping an eye on growing concerns around global warming and higher profits is supported by consumer sentiment. For consumers, Ford Motor Company decided to remove the Fiesta from its product line. According to the BBC, the Ford Fiesta is expected to be discontinued early next year. The report also said that besides the above reasons, the high cost of auto parts was another reason behind this decision.

The report claims Ford bosses will announce a decision in the next few days. With Fiesta production slated to end in mid-2023, the automaker is currently in talks with dealers, suppliers and employees ahead of a final announcement. The surprising thing is that despite being a best-selling car, the Ford Fiesta is unlikely to enter the era of electrification. The Sun previously reported that the automaker has no plans for an all-electric version of the Fiesta, despite its popularity.

Ford is now streamlining its portfolio as part of their accelerated drive to complete electrification. The auto company is looking at the entire auto portfolio they have. The automaker currently produces the Ford Fiesta in Germany. It was rolled off the production line in Dagenham, Essex, in 1977 in an attempt to capture the British car market with an affordable and attractive car.

The auto industry also had the oil crisis of 1973. At that time, consumers focused on smaller and more fuel-efficient cars. Ford tried to address that sentiment with the Fiesta. Since its introduction, more than 20 million of these vehicles have been produced for customers worldwide. It remained at the top of best-selling car lists for decades. As of August 2022, the Ford Fiesta is the sixth best-selling new car in the UK, with 4,570 units sold.
