Ford Ikon

The Ford Ikon is a sedan version of the Ford Fiesta Mark IV on the Ford B platform. It was manufactured and sold in India until 2011. A 2012 model year subcompact sedan and hatchback named Ikon is sold in Mexico, but however, was the old previous-generation Ford Fiesta. The pre-2011 Fiesta was reintroduced to Mexico as the Ikon to fill the city car void left by the Ka, and go up against the Chevrolet Spark and Dodge i10. The Mexican-market hatchback is the Ford Figo imported from India. The Ikon used to be manufactured and sold in South Africa, Mexico and China where production ended in December 2006, September 2007 and 2007 respectively. The Ikon sedan was relaunched in South Africa (same vehicle as the Fiesta Classic in India).

The first-generation Mexican and South African Ikon was closely based on the European Mark IV Fiesta, delivering vehicle attributes that would have been acceptable to European customers. The India Ikon has a cheaper suspension, interior and front end structure. The China Ikon was somewhere in between.

In Mexico, Brazil and China, the Ikon was marketed as a Fiesta sedan. In Brazil, this model has been replaced by a new 4 door model based on the South American Fiesta. In South Africa, the Ikon has been replaced by a different 4 door model based on the European Fiesta Mark V (but different exterior sheetmetal) and manufactured in India. (This vehicle is badged Fiesta in India and has not immediately replaced the Ikon in the Indian market.)
