The Ford Fiesta lineup starts with the S, the simple, city-friendly entry trim. SE is the mainstream daily-driver step, while the older SEL sedan and SES hatchback bring a richer version of that same middle-ground formula. ST Line is the sporty-looking hatch with the regular engine; Titanium is the comfort-and-tech choice; and ST is the true performance model with a turbo engine, manual transmission, and upgraded handling hardware.
The Base Model trim level is the S, the straightforward Fiesta known for simple commuter usefulness and the lineup’s light, easy-to-place feel.
Best for: City drivers and commuters who want the Fiesta’s essentials without extra trim features.
Highlights
The Mid-Level trim level includes SE, SEL, and SES and is the mainstream Fiesta, adding the comfort and convenience that make a small car feel more complete.
Best for: Daily drivers who value useful upgrades such as cruise control, power windows, and a more finished cabin.
Highlights
Adds aluminum wheels, cruise control, power windows, automatic headlights, and a fuller center console over the S.

In later lineups, the SE adds the everyday conveniences missing from the simpler S: cruise control, power windows, automatic headlights, a fuller center console with an armrest, and 15-inch aluminum wheels. Both retain the regular 1.6-liter engine.
The 2019 ST-Line is mainly a sporty appearance and technology trim with the regular 1.6-liter engine. The ST is the true performance model, using a 197-hp turbo engine, a six-speed manual, sport suspension, stronger brakes, and selectable stability-control settings.
On later pre-2019 models, Titanium adds comfort and technology rather than extra performance. Its key upgrades include a 6.5-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated leather-trimmed front seats, upgraded audio, keyless start, rear parking sensors, and automatic climate control.
In the early lineup, they fill similar upscale roles in different body styles. The SEL is the sedan, while the SES is the hatchback. Both include features such as voice controls, upgraded audio, cruise control, ambient lighting, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The SE is the practical middle choice in most years. It keeps the regular Fiesta’s simple powertrain and compact size while adding useful daily features such as cruise control, power windows, automatic headlights, and a center armrest.
The S is the basic trim throughout the U.S. run. On later models, it still covers essentials such as air conditioning, remote keyless entry, a rearview camera, USB connectivity, and a split-folding rear seat, but it skips many SE comfort features.
Titanium is the comfort-focused non-ST trim on 2013–2018 models. It combines the Fiesta’s small footprint with heated leather-trimmed front seats, automatic climate control, keyless start, upgraded audio, a touchscreen, and rear parking sensors.
The 2019 ST-Line does. It has ST-inspired body details, a black roof, black wheels, a rear spoiler, red cabin stitching, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen, but it keeps the regular 1.6-liter engine instead of the ST’s turbo engine and sport suspension.
Yes. The U.S.-market Fiesta ST pairs its 197-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter engine with a six-speed manual transmission. It is the performance-focused hatchback, with sport suspension and upgraded brakes separating it from regular Fiesta trims.
Among the versions detailed here, later Titanium models and the 2019 ST-Line include a 6.5-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Earlier cars may use older Ford systems, so the model year and installed equipment matter.
Later Fiesta S models do. The late-run S equipment includes a rearview camera, air conditioning, a 4.2-inch display, voice controls, a USB port, remote keyless entry, and a split-folding rear seat. Earlier examples should be checked by model year.
For 2019, the ST-Line adds a larger touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, black 16-inch wheels, sport seats, red stitching, a black roof, a spoiler, and ST-inspired bodywork. It is mainly a styling and technology step, not an engine upgrade.
Ford changed its upscale-trim names during the Fiesta’s U.S. run. Early cars used SEL for the upscale sedan and SES for the upscale hatchback. Those roles were consolidated under Titanium for 2013–2018, and Titanium left the lineup for the final year.
