It is to be noted here that the vignale version is also going to feature a concierge service which makes it a premium category car. The Ford Fiesta, which is currently in its seventh generation, will feature more spacious interiors.
Also, in the new version, Ford has decided to do away with some buttons going for a minimal button design providing it with a fresher and more toned down look. Instead of more buttons, the new gen Fiesta will have a touch screen which brings it in line with the current global trend where most cars are now going for touch screens with GPS navigation and smartphone connectivity to enhance user experience.
This new addition will give the car a more ergonomic design which is fantastic for high school and college students and single folks in the middle class range. Needless to mention but still to remind fans, the touch screen infotainment system will come equipped with the proprietary Ford Sync 3 infotainment system that supports Apple Car Play, Android Auto Play, and the custom Ford Sync 3 system.
New Additions

A new and noteworthy addition to the car is the panoramic sunroof. This will give the car a more rich and elegant look while at the same time, attract a different set of customers to the car. No this car is not going to be considered high class and is not going to be able to pull your boat but it is not designed to do those things. The Fiesta is efficient and will enable you to handle your priorities in a smooth and sharp manner.
Fiesta is a very popular B-class model that has been satisfying the demands of the consumers for a very long time now. The new and improved luxurious version of the car is supposed to be a makeover move by Ford that will see Ford Fiesta meet new consumer markets and ride new roads.
The Competition
In order to compare the Fiesta with some of the highest models that express what Ford stands for in this particular category, you can compare it to Mondeo, S-Max, Kuga, and Edge Vignale. It will come with 18 inch alloy wheels, hexagonal quilted tuxedo stitched leather seats and some new and detailed color and exterior designs.
You will be surprised to see that the new Fiesta is the first ever model in the Fiesta line up to act like a crossover. It has a rugged look to it with more ground clearance giving it a more SUV cum crossover feeling.
There is an active series of Fiesta that is in the pipeline at the moment, and it is rumored to join the existing line up in the coming months, probably in early 2017. No official announcements from Ford yet so we are still waiting for details.
