A couple things to bear in mind is that Ford's range of what it calls SUVs and crossovers goes down to pretty small. Take the EcoSport, which is pretty small. And they are keeping a "crossover version" of the Focus, which probably means one of the hatchback versions which will fill the next size class down.

The way I interpret this, they believe that their smaller to mid-size SUVs cover the same market as the larger to mid-size sedans. They are the same size and get similar mileage. It's not the size/class/price market they appear to be leaving, just the sedan as a form factor.

As for the small fiesta...they will likely come out with something to replace it at some point. It may have done well in Europe, but when I think of a Fiesta I think of the tiny boxy thing from the 80s that looked like a smaller imitation of a Chevy Chevette.
