Since the first production in 1976, almost 5 million Fiesta's have been sold and it was ranked the best selling car on UK roads for 12 years in a row, between 2009 and 2020. A survey conducted by CarInsurance.ae found the model to still be the most popular car in 2022.

A spokesperson from ford said:

"In fact, the Ford Fiesta is so popular that there are more Fiestas on the road in the UK than there are every type of Peugeot."

Despite the still massive popularity of the model, Ford confirmed that its production of it will cease at their factory in Cologne, Germany by the end of June 2023. They will also be stopping their production of S-max and Galaxy people carriers in April 2023.
