How much horsepower does a Mk7 5 Fiesta ST have?

The new Ford Fiesta ST is going to come with a whopping 110bhp and 147lb/ft of torque at launch, so we thought it might be time to check its real world figure for the first time. Ford says it's about 10 per cent quicker than the old Mk6 ST due to the use of lightweight materials in its construction and with over 2025 of cost savings being made on the way. To give you an idea of how little the figure is, its closest rivals are more than double the size of the entry level car - a Ford Focus SE and a Honda Civic DCT.

And top it off, the most powerful Fiesta ST will only cost 2595 on the road. So are we being taken for a ride by Ford? Is the 5-door hatch really that quick? We've put together a video so that we can all be the judge of things, the video also contains a lap around the Nrburgring in 7.8 seconds to prove that it is as quick as it says it is.

Have a watch of the video below: It's been made using various video editing tools including iMovie which we're sure you can all do yourselves! What are your thoughts on the Fiesta ST?

Is Fiesta ST Mk7 reliable?

I've been looking at the Fiesta ST for sale here in the Philippines, and the seller is currently offering one for a price that's a good deal considering its condition. My question is, would I be able to get it done if something happened to it? I already have my own car, but I'd still like to have a second car just for when I need one. But I wouldn't want to be without a car for too long and that's why I'm wondering if I should buy this one and just have it with me as a backup for when I go away from home.

It's not the cheapest or even the most expensive Fiesta ST on sale. What do you think? Cheapest. I am sure it's a lot cheaper than the other versions, including the 2.0T which is a lot better, better mileage, more power, better brakes. I can imagine how it feels and how much fun it would be. You just have to have the money to spend.

I went to look at a Fiat Bravo recently and came away very impressed. The way it feels, the looks, the acceleration. I could see myself driving one very easily, the only thing missing is a decent stereo. All I could afford was the cheapest option which was the one with the old radio. It has the same speakers so it wasn't too bad, but it sounded terrible. It's a shame because they were good speakers.
"They say the best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry. Well, mine have."

I think it's a great idea to get one if you can. They're fun cars. I've driven a number of them and enjoyed every minute of it. There's something about them that makes you want to have fun. It's kinda like a high-powered go-kart.

The question is whether it's worth the money. And that depends on the current condition. If you find it's in good shape, it would be a great buy.

Well, it's not the cheapest or even the most expensive Fiesta ST on sale. My point was that for the price, it's a great deal, especially if it's in good shape. I'm not suggesting that it's the cheapest or most expensive model out there.

What year is a Mk7 Fiesta ST?

How to tell what year a Fiesta ST is. For some of you, this is a common question to ask. And there are many different ways to answer it. I'll answer it in three ways.

First, we can look at the sticker. The year of production is clearly marked on the rear of the car, as well as the VIN plate. But for the most part, the year of production is pretty self explanatory.

Second, we can look at the odometer. Most new Fiesta STs will have an odometer that reads less than 15,000km. That's less than four years. For a used car that's been driven for less than four years, the odometer has most likely never surpassed 4,500km. So if it doesn't, it's a new car, and if it does, it's not a new car.

Third, we can look at the date the car was driven off the forecourt. On any new Fiesta ST, the first time the vehicle has been driven is either written on the plate or stamped into the body. For example, the first time a 2025 Mk7 Fiesta ST has been driven is 2025. Similarly, a 2025 Mk7 Fiesta ST has been driven in 2025.

One of these options will definitively confirm a car's age. The others are best used in conjunction with the other two. I know this isn't the most definitive of answers, but it's a fun conversation starter.

How much does a Mk7 Fiesta ST cost? How to tell the price of a Mk7 Fiesta ST. A new Fiesta ST comes in five trims. Those five trims differ between the UK and USA markets. All trims are available as standard (XS), plus four additional trims: S, GT, EX, and RS. Each additional trim has different options.

All trims are available with a 1.6-litre turbo engine, or a 1.8-litre turbo engine. If you're looking for a 1.2-litre engine, you're in luck. The Mk7 Fiesta ST with a 1.2-litre engine has been discontinued.

Is the Mk7 Fiesta ST fast?

It's a simple question but there are so many layers of truth and lies to unravel. Is the Fiesta ST fast? I don't mean just quick, but really fast, not just in terms of straight line performance but also with traction. We are, after all, talking about the Fiesta ST that is going to be the best handling small hatchback in Europe. It's not just about aero (though it does have some aero) or weight savings. It has been specifically tuned to give the drivers more direct feedback.

The Fiesta ST is set to join the likes of the Honda Civic Type R, Audi S3, BMW M2 Competition and the new Subaru WRX STI on the race track. You know where this is going. Fiesty fun times. But it wasn't always this way. The first generation Fiesta ST was a brilliant car. It was light, fun, cheap to run and delivered very little resistance on corner exit. It gave you more room than the much pricier and heavier Ford Focus ST. And, thanks to the excellent, albeit ageing, 2.0 T-GDI engine it offered superb efficiency. In the early 1990s, in the era of a 1.4 litre engine you could actually have a 50mpg average.

In 2025, however, Ford decided to make the new 1.6 litre engine work harder. This was made possible by the removal of the engine's throttle body. Instead of two small injectors at the back of the cylinder head, there was one large hole in the top of the head - and this created a whole lot more air. Now, I was around to see this new generation Fiesta in its prime.

This was an excellent car, yet a shame too because it became a victim of its own success. The original 1.6 petrol engine now felt like a dinosaur, the only way to use it was to make it work harder. And, if you were the type of driver who cared about fuel economy, then the original engine didn't suit your driving style. It had all the characteristics of the 1.4 T-GDI engine and so did it better.

The second generation Fiesta ST arrived in 2025. Now it was much faster, but it still felt like a dinosaur. It wasn't much slower than the original 1.
