Ford Fiesta ST price
While the Ford Fiesta is a legend within itself and just so happens to be one of the most popular cars on the roads, the Fiesta ST takes the best bits of the OG model and gives it a giggly ride with an economical finish.
Ford has recently announced its decision to discontinue Fiesta models, so your best bet is to find a good deal on a used Fiesta ST.
Prices will vary depending on what we have in stock at the time, but a 2016 Ford Fiesta ST model will usually be priced around £11,750. Used Ford models will almost always be cheaper than purchasing brand-new.
A 2022 Fiesta ST will cost more, with models around £25,500 on our site.
Engine and performance - is the Ford Fiesta ST a good track car?
The Ford Fiesta ST is an award-winning car that sets the bar high for every rival that dares face it.
It’s a lot of fun on the road, sounds great, and is surprisingly economical for the grins it provides.
Undoubtedly a performance hatchback, the Fiesta ST offers grippy handling that will still let you enjoy a corner.
The suspension is just right too, with a real Goldilocks feel of not too soft and not too hard – it really irons out the road.
Under the bonnet, a 1.5-litre engine is built with Ford’s famous EcoBoost tech. This means a solid turbocharger with three cylinders and a quick skip from 0-62mph in just 6.2 seconds.
You’ll enjoy 197hp too, meaning it’s not overpoweringly fast but is still powerful enough to be a lot of fun.
Driving modes are not always the most impressive features of a car, but they perform well here.
The ST includes an extra ‘Track’ mode that gears the car up for the most impressive lap times. Perfect for making the most of track days.
In this mode, traction control is disabled and electronic stability control (ESC) moves into wide-slip mode so you can tackle corners.
There’s also ‘Sport’ mode to have fun with, refining the drive to allow for the best possible control that suits a speedy drive.
Despite all that performance, you’ll still get a claimed fuel economy rating of 42.8mpg.
Fiesta ST key features
While the ST feels impressive on the road, the drive isn’t all it has to offer. The driving experience is combined with comfort features, tech and superb styling.
Inside the car, you’ll enjoy 14-way adjustable front sports seats with four-way adjustable lumbar support, meaning you’ll find it virtually impossible to be uncomfortable as you drive.
The overall interior layout is ideal as well – one big screen sits in the centre of the dash for infotainment, with a digital instrument display (or classic dials in older models) behind the wheel.
Ford SYNC 3 is the infotainment on offer and connects to your smartphone using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Built-in sat-nav is standard as well, plus an eight-speaker B&O audio setup.
The sporty feel of the Fiesta ST is pushed further with the addition of a flat-bottomed steering wheel, sports pedals, and metal-style touches throughout. This really sets it apart from other Fiesta models.

Ford Fiesta ST vs. Ford Fiesta
It’s worth noting that the Fiesta ST and Fiesta ST-Line models are different. While the ST is a sportier Fiesta model all-round, the ST-Line model just gets the sport styling.
This makes the ST-line models a good option for younger drivers that want the fresh look without the engine gains, as it helps keep insurance costs lower.
The rest of the Fiesta lineup prioritises practicality, reliability, and comfort. The ride isn’t boring, but the ST models really turn it up for a performance focus.
The Fiesta Zetec is a model that gets extra styling to make it stand out from the rest of the range, with chrome touches that give it a sophisticated look over the fiery appearance of the ST. It will usually be more economical, too.
If you’re not fussed about a sporty look at all, the Fiesta Titanium lineup ditches the sporty body kit that comes with the ST model, but offers equipment like keyless start, cruise control and a flashy digital instrument display.
