Ford Fiesta (Mk5: 2002-2008) - Reliability - Specs - Still Running Strong

The Fiesta received a facelift in 2005 – a post-facelift model shown above (Fiesta ST).

Fiesta Mk6 or Mk5?

This generation of the Ford Fiesta (Mk5) is often referred to as Mk6. This is because the previous model, the Mk4 Fiesta, was often called the Mk5 after it received a facelift in 1999.

In other words, the 2002-2008 Fiesta is the 5th generation model, and what is often referred to as Mk5 is just a facelift model of the Mk4 – different looking front but still the same car. Call it the Mk4.5 if you wish.
