Has the Fista been discontinued?
2 Answers
Hyundai Fista has not been discontinued yet. Below is relevant information about the Hyundai Fista: Body dimensions: The vehicle dimensions are 4660mm/1790mm/1425mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The spacious data indicates that its actual space performance is not inferior at all. The rear seating space is very spacious and comfortable, even for someone who is 1.8 meters tall, there is no feeling of constraint. Both headroom and legroom are adequately spacious, making it very suitable for family use. Engine: It is equipped with two engines, a 1.4T engine and a 1.6T engine (turbocharged). The 1.4T engine can deliver up to 140 horsepower and 242 Nm of torque. The 1.6T engine (turbocharged) comes in low and high power modes due to different tuning settings. The low power mode can deliver up to 190 horsepower, while the high power mode can reach up to 204 horsepower.
I remember the Fista being a pretty cool car with eye-catching design when it first launched, and it offered a spirited driving experience. However, I recently asked a friend at a Hyundai dealership, and they confirmed it's been discontinued since around 2020. The main reason was its poor sales performance in the Chinese market, where competition is fierce, with models like the Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic selling much better. New cars are basically unavailable now, but some 4S stores might still have leftover inventory at discounted prices, and there are plenty in the used car market at lower prices. As alternatives, you can check out Hyundai's Elantra or Sonata, which feature more contemporary designs. Don't worry, even though it's discontinued, maintenance parts are still available, and original factory supplies will last for some time. Car enthusiasts still miss it, as it was a classic sporty option.
