    Spying: Ford Fiesta

    The sub-compact market is heating up with vehicles like the Chevrolet Sonic, Kia Rio, and Hyundai Accent providing tough competition. One of the vehicles who kicked off the return of sub-compact vehicles, the Ford Fiesta, is getting a refresh.

    Car & Driver got their hands on some spy shots of a Ford Fiesta hatchback and sedan undergoing some testing.

    The Fiesta will take on some Ford's design cues seen on the Taurus and new Fusion. The front end will get an Aston Martin-esk grill layout and new headlights. Around the back, the sedan new taillights and a reshaped trunklid that brings it in line with the Focus. As the hatchback, changes are unknown for the time being.

    Also, expect Ford's new 1.0L three-cylinder EcoBoost engine to possibly replace the current 1.6L four-cylinder.

    Expect to see the refreshed Fiesta make an appearance later this year or sometime next year.

      Had a coworker who just bought one as the VW dealership had the fully loaded ID.Buzz with MSRP of $72,595 marked down to $29K with a butt load of VW discounts and the dealer wanted to get rid of it. He said the same thing you did, but at the price, he thinks it will be an awesome local use auto for the family and kids. Totally agree that my EV9 is a far better purchase than this for the original prices.

      This thing was a bust before any tariffs. It has abysmal range, not enough real storage that minivan buyers want, it tried to be too much of a throwback without adding true minivan capabilities, and it was priced far too high for what it offered. 230 miles of range for something like this is ridiculous. I wanted one once they first showed them, but I wouldn't consider something with that kind of range for 60-70k. Name one reason to buy the VW ID.Buzz over your EV6. Looks..? That's about all it has going for it.

      Discussion:2026 BMW iX3 Electric SUV Debuts at CES 2026 - 500-Mile Range, 800V Charging, AI Assistant

      I hate how this looks as of right now. Maybe it will be something that grows on me. I know the current Silverado and HD were hideous to me at the beginning, too, then they grew on me. I'm not sure if this will do that or not, but I don't like it right now.  I'm sure the overall package is stellar and up to the latest standards or creating new standards for EVs.  Also, BMW needs to get their naming in check (along with Merc). This is silly, IMO; BMW iX3 50 xDrive.

      Kia News: 2026 Kia K4 Sedan and Hatchback Pricing Announced - Starting at $22,190, 147-HP Base, 190-HP Turbo Available

      I love how the hatchback looks. The sedan is very "meh", to me. 147hp/132lb-ft sounds super weak so it better be hitting some pretty big mpg numbers mated to a CVT.

      Continued death spiral of America due to incompetence in DC by Idiot47 and his lemmings. Carney rolls his eyes at US Treasury secretary, telling Trump he meant what he said at Davos
