An insider described the move as a ‘strategic decision’ by the company to move its style more towards crossovers as it embarks on its electric future. The Fiesta was also knocked of the top spot last year by the Vauxhall Corsa with Ford opting to prioritise its commercial vehicle production on the back of higher demand during parts supply shortages resulting from the Covid pandemic.
Given not everyone young or old wants a crossover, along with the fact other manufacturers compact small car are still very much alive and kicking, with new models recently added to the market. This could be more of a strategic mistake by Ford.
