Ford Figo launched in India priced between Rs. 4.30 - 7.41L

The next-gen Ford Figo has been launched in India priced between Rs. 4.30 - Rs. 7.41 lakh  (ex-showroom Delhi).

As a part of its product offensive strategy, Ford introduced the Figo Aspire last month and has now launched the all-new Figo hatchback in the Indian market. Replacing the older Figo, this car measures 3,886 mm x 1,695 mm x 1,525 mm (L x B x H), having a wheelbase of 2,491 mm. The car is larger than its predecessor in all aspects. However, where the older Figo trumps the newer one is boot space 284L vs 257L (new Figo).

The car will be available with the same engine options as its sedan sibling, in the exact same tune. There is a 1.2L TiVCT, 4-cylinder petrol engine 87 BHP / 112 Nm) mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and an ARAI rating of 18.15 kmpl. The other petrol option is a 1.5L TiVCT, 4-cylinder unit (110 BHP / 136 Nm) mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. A 1.5L TDCi 4-cylider diesel engine is also available (99 BHP / 215 Nm) mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It has an ARAI rating of 25.83 kmpl.

The Figo gets a driver airbag even on the base variant. The next variant and higher get dual airbags as standard.

The feature list is identical to the sedan sibling (click here to view the Aspire's official review).

Ford is also focusing on affordability and claims that the cost of ownership will be 20-22% lesser than its competitors. The Figo takes on the Maruti Swift and Hyundai Grand i10
