This generation, spanning from 2010 to 2013, marked a departure from its previous iteration, embracing a more modern and dynamic design language. It was offered in a variety of body styles, including a 3-door hatchback, a 5-door hatchback, and a 4-door sedan, catering to a diverse range of consumer preferences. The Fiesta's design was praised for its European flair, featuring sharp lines, a sculpted grille, and expressive headlights.
