The Ford Fiesta is no longer the best-selling car in Great Britain
- Between 2010 and 2020, the Ford Fiesta remained Britain's best-selling car. Its sales volume remained above 90,000 units per year between 2010 and 2017, well ahead of subsequent models, such as the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Corsa and Vauxhall Astra. Since the early 2000s and the end of Rover Group, the top four selling cars in Britain have traditionally been the two B-segment cars and the two C-segment cars from Ford and Vauxhall. These two brands, then British subsidiaries of the two American manufacturers, had managed to grab the top positions in the UK market after the rout of popular British brands such as Austin, Morris, Hillman, Triumph and Rover. But their decline began in the years 2015-2016, which amplified with the takeover of Opel-Vauxhall by PSA in 2017 and Ford's growing disinterest in passenger cars in Europe.
- And for the first time, the Ford Fiesta is no longer the best-selling car in Britain in 2021. It even fell to eighth place, outpaced by the Vauxhall Corsa which took over the position of the British market leader for the first time, but also by the Mini (2nd), the Mercedes A-Class (3rd), the Volkswagen Polo ( 4th), the Volkswagen Golf (5th), Nissan Qashqai (6th) and Ford Puma (7th) which probably took part of the clientele.
- The fall of the former stars of the British top 5 is also general, the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf now being shunned by customers. Even the performance of the Vauxhall Corsa turns out to be average.
