Ford Fiesta Weight Per Model
Ford stopped selling the Fiesta in the North American market in 2020. However, their planned end of life meant the North American market never got the latest version of the Fiesta, which was redesigned several years earlier. Instead, the earlier model was extended through the end of 2019 in North America.

As you can see, the trim level and model year make some differences in the weight of the Fiesta. Many of the different models share the same base weight, with the most significant changes coming from whether it is a sedan, hatchback, or the ST performance model. Another thing that makes quite a bit of difference is whether it has a manual or automatic transmission. For the most part, all Fiesta's during these model years are going to weight within a small percentage of the same amount, though. There will be additional weight added to these base weights, depending on what options your Fiesta includes.
Will Else Can Affect the Weight of a Ford Fiesta?
Whether you have a sedan, hatchback, or the ST will make a difference, and what options your Fiesta has will add even more, but many things will affect the weight. Everything down to having tires from different manufacturers, fluid levels, and how dirty the car is will make a difference. However, most of these things are only going to make minimal differences.
The things that are going to make the most difference is what you put in your car. Do you haul around a set of tools and jumper cables in the back? That may add quite a bit. Do you keep your workout gear or your fishing equipment in the back of your car? What about a first aid kit, or a phone charger? The weight of these items adds up quickly.
