2018 FORD FIESTA MK7 Spied Testing! It's confirmed, cooming soon!

The Fiesta is one of Ford’s best-selling models in Europe and more recently in the US where it gained a lot of market share. However, the car is old at this point and even though it was heavily revised back in 2013, it can no longer match the new Polo or Corsa. In order to get back at the top, a new model is going to be released next year, most likely at the Geneva Auto Show. The upcoming 2018 Ford Fiesta MK7 is not going to be an all-new model like many of us expected.

Instead, Ford will use a modified version of their B-platform which also underpins the current model. This means that it will use an ancient suspension design at the back which is there mostly for cost savings and not much else.

It concerns me that the new Fiesta isn't all new because the current one dates back almost a decade and there was significant carry over with it. I was hoping a clean-slate approach for better crash safety and for hybrid/EV readiness.

There are many reports that the Focus will be a dumbed down version of the current one when it is replaced.

I understand that these segments are dying in favor of crossovers, but given how cringing the reviews of the Ecosport have been--current car show buzz notwithstanding--I was really hoping for a better effort.
