Ford has announced that the Ford Fiesta will be discontinued and will be indirectly replaced by an all-electric version of the Ford Puma SUV [[10]]. The decision to discontinue the Fiesta comes after declining sales in recent years and a shift in consumer preference towards crossovers. The Ford Puma, which shares many parts and engines with the Fiesta, offers a sporty compact SUV body with additional cabin space and a more comfortable back seat. While the Fiesta has been a popular choice for many years, Ford believes that the all-electric Puma will be a suitable replacement, catering to the changing demands of consumers.
