New 2022 Ford Fiesta – What to Expect

The Ford Fiesta has been one of the most popular vehicles throughout Europe for the past decade. Not only was it the number one vehicle in the UK for almost that whole time, but it is finally getting an upgrade. Though it was discontinued in the states, the 2022 Ford Fiesta has a lot to offer European consumers.

What Is New?

Small tweaks for the front and rear bumpers, as well as upgraded LED lighting is just a portion of what Ford Fiesta fans can look forward to in 2022. You definitely won’t have to determine if your car has good gas mileage cause this car definitely delivers. 

The engines are mostly hybrid options, with only small portions of electrical help for your power. This allows the fuel economy to be around 48 MPG, as well as CO2 emissions as low as 111g/km. The 1.0-liter EcoBoost, three-cylinder engine has approximately 99 horsepower.

Ford has made their front grill deeper and wider, with a classic beehive pattern. Not only that, but they have also included Matrix lighting that changes according to oncoming traffic. This will be helpful for avoiding accidents and keeping your Ford Fiesta insurance cost low.

Driving Options

All things considered, it may be good that there is no diesel option for the 2022 Ford Fiesta. There are, however, driving mode choices that include Normal, Eco, as well as Sport. The sport mode has Trail and Slippery settings. But driving modes aren’t the only helpful driving options for this newer model. 

Ford has also used technology to improve their vehicle performance. Not only have they added automated parking and braking assist, but also other tech friendly advantages. This might even make Ford a stronger competitor against their competitors in the market, considering they’ve sold more than 4.2 million vehicle units in retail in 2021, down from 4.5 million in 2020. The new 2022 Ford Fiesta has definitely been upgraded by including the following: 

• Blindspot Assist
• Automatic Climate Control
• Lane changing and braking assist
• Automatic High-beam adjustment
• Traffic sign recognition
• Parking assist
• Collision and Pedestrian detection
• Post-Collision safety systems

The 8-inch touchscreen Infotainment display also includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Not to mention an amazing Bang & Olufsen sound system throughout the car so you won’t have to hook up a second battery for your speakers.

The 12-inch information display also allows drivers to easily view their speed and gas usage, as well as other car data. Not only that, but this in dash tech also displays navigation instructions. Though the interior still looks similar to older models, this improvement for drivers will really make a difference. 

Costs and Competitors 

The 2022 Ford Fiesta is hitting the market with a load of faster, more eco-friendly competitors. With other cars like the Vauxhall Corsa, Volkswagen Polo, as well as the Hyundai i20 N, the Fiesta isn’t going to take an easy lead. Especially with costs going upwards. 

The new cost of the Ford Fiesta will be around € 19,047 ($22,000 USD). Overall, that is a pretty big step up from € 16,700 ($19,290 USD) for the VW Polo Starter package. However, as you increase upgrades, the 2022 Ford Fiesta actually becomes the cheaper option. Definitely consider package upgrades if this might be the car for you.

Is the 2022 Ford Fiesta Right for You?

When it comes to buying a new car, you definitely want to look into your budget, as well as how well you can take care of your car for the long term. All things considered, Ford wasn’t joking when they said they were going to upgrade the Fiesta for Europeans. Whether you’re looking at the new technology, or the newer hybrid engines, there are definitely a lot of things to consider.

Because the 2022 Ford Fiesta hasn’t been released yet, Ford could still add valuable technology updates. However, if this car is already looking good to you, then keep and eye out for the new Fiesta to be released in early 2022.
