What’s New for the 2016 Ford Fiesta?
Changes are few and far between for 2016, but they are nonetheless significant. The base Fiesta S gets standard remote keyless entry and anti-theft alarm, and the SE is eligible to be equipped with the Black package and a sport body kit. Arguably, the biggest change is the availability of Ford SYNC 3, which debuts in the Fiesta and Expedition.
