Fiesta improvements 2012-2017

[teo113]

Hello! newbie here.

I've recently bought a '15 reg Blue Fiesta zetec (1.0 Ecoboost, 100bhp) and love it very much! It neatly replaced my 2004 fiesta ;D

To my question-

I'm curious about the changes that the same model of Ford goes through in its production years. In this case the 'facelift' (?) Mk7 Fiesta (zetec) which first made in 2012 and ended in 2017... what improvements or changes did Ford make to this car over these years? And is my '15 reg an improvement on a 2012 version? Let's focus on UK Zetec models for now to keep it simple...

 

Off the top of my head, I think the radio button/number pad layout changed a little in 2014?

Anything else? Whether cosmetic or mechanical.

 

Thanks! 🙂

I think it's from 2015 they made the facelift where the front bumper is changed to a Aston Martin like one.

We bought a new Mk 7 in 2012 and shortly afterwards................ they announced the facelift for 2013MY! Not sure if any f/l cars actually reached customers in 2012 though, or if it was early 2013.

Sync changed to 1.1 in mid-2014.

I believe the aston martin grill is on all Fiesta mk 7.5 models. i.e. 2012-2017. It was the stand out difference from the old mk7 models.

See attached image for example... it's a '62 reg (late 2012/early 2013)

Yes your correct there. Sorry got the years wrong. Here's what I found on autobeams website to clear things up 👍

[teo113]

yes.

So anyway, I guess my main question, simplified is... what's the difference between these two cars (assuming for the sake of argument, they are both UK zetec models, 1.0L ecoboosts):

and don't say the colour ;D

2012

vs:

2017

and for that matter, 2013, 14, 15, & 16...
