Ford Figo Aspire interiors spied

Last week, Ford unveiled the Figo Aspire sedan at its new plant in the state of Gujarat. The car is expected to go on sale later this year. Meanwhile, The Car & Bike Show has put up some images of the interiors of the Titanium variant of the car.

The images indicate that the Aspire gets dual-tone black and beige interiors. The dashboard is inspired by some existing products from the Ford range. The top surface of the dashboard, multi-function steering wheel and centre console are all finished in black. The area around the infotainment system and central air-conditioner vents is finished in piano black. The air-conditioner vents at the extreme ends of the dashboard are round and have chrome rings outlining them. The lower portion of the dashboard is finished in beige. Many of the parts appear to be shared with other Ford models. The seats of the car are all-beige. The door panels are beige as well with black inserts. The leg room at the read appears to be decent.

The Aspire will come with a device dock which allows the driver to store, mount and charge mobile phones, MP3 players and satellite navigation systems, and to integrate these devices into the car’s entertainment system. Customers can also buy a variant of the Figo Aspire equipped with Ford's SYNC with AppLink in-car connectivity system. SYNC with AppLink allows drivers to control their phone, entertainment and apps hands-free using voice commands.

The Figo Aspire will come with a choice of a 1.2-litre petrol or a 1.5-litre diesel engine. A 1.5-litre petrol unit mated to an automatic transmission is also rumoured to be in the works.

Ford will pit the Figo Aspire against the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Honda Amaze, Hyundai Xcent and Tata Zest.
