The sixth-generation Fiesta, also known as Mark VI or Mark VII in the UK, was shown in concept form as the Ford Verve at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2007, and marketed in principal European markets, Australia and the United States. Developed under the project code B299 and B409, this model uses the new Ford global B-car platform.
The model was launched under the company’s new “One Ford” strategy, which called for single models to be manufactured and sold globally to achieve efficiency and economies of scale, instead of making regional models. Production started at Ford’s Cologne plant in Germany in August 2008. A second plant in Valencia, Spain, started production in early 2009. Production in China, Thailand, and Mexico started from late 2008 to 2010. In Brazil, the production of the hatchback version started in 2013. The production of the Ford Fiesta was discontinued in Brazil in June 2019, after being present in the market for 24 years.
In late September 2012 at the Paris Motor Show, the face-lifted Fiesta for the European market went on sale in 2013. It was the first to use Ford’s latest corporate front end, which included the newly introduced trapezoidal grille.
