The 2018 Ford Fiesta proves that a little dab will do ya

It doesn't look all that different, but there are a host of technological updates hiding underneath the 2018 Ford Fiesta's skin.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

All the 2018 Ford Fiesta information that currently exists applies only to the European model.

The US will likely miss several major chunks of the 2018 Fiesta lineup, like the ultra-posh Vignale trim and the available diesel engine.

There's also a new Active trim, which lifts the Fiesta up like a crossover and is just all-around stupid, if you ask me.

However, it's likely that the physical changes will come to the US without too many alterations.

There's a whole bunch of new tech tucked away inside the 2018 Fiesta.

New driver assistance tech includes traffic sign recognition and an automatic parking system that brakes the car if the driver doesn't notice a fender bender in the making.

The interior is way fresher than before, sporting a new "floating" screen that clears up the formerly clunky dashboard.

In general, from the switchgear to the trim, the interior is far less cheap-looking than before.
