The current generation of the Ford Fiesta will be updated. Ford is working on developing a major facelift. A mid-cycle update. In broad daylight, two prototypes have been seen sporting much less camouflage than in previous sightings.
The time has come for the seventh generation of the Ford Fiesta be updated. Ford is working on developing a facelift. A mid-cycle upgrade that will allow the current generation to cope with the rest of its business life that lies ahead. The North American utility vehicle will premiere numerous novelties. Once again, the new Fiesta has been hunted in broad daylight.
A couple of prototypes of the new Fiesta have been spotted while conducting a series of road tests. In both cases we are dealing with vehicles with a three-door body. However, under the hood there are very different mechanics and the trim levels are also different. Let’s go into detail.
Spy photos of the new Ford Fiesta 2022
The first thing to keep in mind is that, to date, the new Fiesta had been seen on several occasions wearing its most adventurous configuration. We are talking about the Fiesta Active, the “crossover” variant. Now it is the turn to take a look in great detail at the most conventional model.
On the one hand we have a sample in dark color that is configured with the level of ST-Line finish. And behind him we can see the EcoBoost Hybrid badge, which shows that under its hood is an electrified gasoline engine. And on the other hand, there is a blue prototype in a more basic finish and that is powered by an alternative fuel. More specifically by the LPG (Petroleum liquid gas).
The range of engines will maintain the same composition offered by the current model. To the aforementioned bifuel mechanics adapted to LPG you have to add a selection of gasoline engines. Some of them will be electrified with 48 Volt Light Hybrid Technology (MHEV) as is the case with one of these prototypes that have been photographed. All engines will be front-wheel drive and depending on the chosen engine we can choose, or not, between a manual gearbox and an automatic one.
The new 2022 Ford Fiesta loses camouflage in these spy photos
Beyond the mechanics and / or versions, we must also make a very important mention of camouflage. And it is that the brand has removed a very significant amount of camouflage that covered a good part of the front. It’s easier to see the shapes that the bumper and grille will take. In the same way, the optical groups are practically uncovered.
The design changes will focus on the front. However, behind there will also be news. The taillights will be updated and, in addition, Ford will increase the customization options by introducing more body colors, wheel designs and interior trim.
When will it hit the market? The removal of camouflage is a clear sign that the project is well advanced. It is not ruled out that its debut occurs before the end of this year. Now, to see the new Fiesta in dealerships we will have to wait until 2022.
