2020 WHAT CAR? of the Year Award - FORD FIESTA ST

What Car of the Year 2020

Ford Fiesta ST ST-2 Performance Pack 3dr

Less than £24,000

Best Hot Hatch

The Ford Fiesta ST has been awarded the 2020 What Car? Best Hot Hatch under £24,000, another fantastic achievement and it was quoted “when it comes to producing winning examples time and again, Ford is arguably the best in the business.”

What Car? went on to say, “The Fiesta ST Performance Pack was fresh out of the blocks last year – and off the back of an outgoing Fiesta ST that will go down in history as an all-time great – the current model proves that it still has the magic.

The Fiesta ST blew away opposition on multiple levels. Its punchy 197bhp 1.5-litre turbo engine has a much more thrilling parp, its handling is 10 times more engaging and it comes with a proper manual gearbox that’s super-slick and much more fun to use than the Polo’s dual-clutch automatic. Adding the optional Performance Pack to get the traction-enhancing limited-slip differential is the way to guarantee the most thrills for less than £25,000.
