About a year and some 6,250 sales after the latest Fiesta ST made its market debut in Britain, Ford is enhancing the range of its sporty hatch with a new range-topping edition named ST-3, priced at £19,250 OTR.

You get everything the ST-2 offers plus keyless entry, a Sony DAB radio/CD with navigation system, cruise control, automatic headlights, rain sensing wipers, auto-dimming rear view mirror, power-fold door mirrors with puddle lamps and electronic automatic temperature control.

Buyers can choose from five different exterior colours named Frozen White, Race Red, Panther Black, Spirit Blue and Molten Orange that can be matched to one of two interior colour themes, Molten Orange or Smoke Storm, depending on the outside finish.

Ford also added rear parking sensors as an optional extra on the ST-3 and ST-2 priced at £250.
