Ford Figo
Latest On Ford Figo
The Ford Figo facelift has been launched with prices starting from Rs 5.15 lakh for the base Ambiente petrol and going up to Rs 8.09 lakh for the Titanium Petrol AT. Cosmetic updates on the outside borrow elements seen on the Aspire facelift and the new Freestyle. This includes a new grille, new bumpers, new alloy wheels and new 'Blu' stickers around the car. Inside, the biggest change is the new floating 7-inch touchscreen display, which is different from the ones on the Aspire - both in terms of design and in terms of features. The Figo's unit does not get android Auto or Apple CarPlay connectivity, which the competition (Maruti Swift and Hyundai Grand i10) does.
The Figo gets a new 1.2-litre dragon series engine which also powers the Freestyle and the new Aspire. The engine is a 3-cylinder unit making 96PS of max power and 120Nm of peak torque and comes mated to a new Getrac 5-speed manual transmission. The diesel option is a 1.5-litre TDCi engine making 100PS and 215Nm, which is easily one of the best diesel engines out there, especially when it comes to responsiveness. The automatic variant, available only with a petrol engine, is powered by a 1.5-litre engine mated to a 6-speed AT.

The Ford Figo has been given a facelift four years after the car made its debut in the Indian market. With the update, Ford has brought the Figo up to speed with the rest of the competition, but we are not pitting it against the competition today - we are pitting it against its former self to see what’s new, and if that has made it better on paper.
Design
The Ford Figo facelift, as all facelifts go, is nothing more than a nip-and-tuck job. It’s not revolutionarily different but looks fresh enough to be called new.
Up front, the new front bumper gets a slimmer but wider air dam, which seems connected to the fog lamps by a black coloured trim which curls up and inwards at the corners. This is a similar design to what was first introduced on the Ford Freestyle and later on the Aspire, but the Figo has a unique look. The headlights have been given a subtle revision and on the top-of-the-line ‘Blu’ variant (of which we have photographs), the headlamps are darkened for that sporty look. The grille design has been changed, it gets a mesh design instead of slats.
From the side, the new Figo looks no different from the older car. While the Blu does get new graphics on the door panels and new 15-inch wheels, you could get these on the earlier ‘Sports’ variant too. Like the pre-facelift car, the new Figo is still offered with 14-inch wheels in the lower spec variants.
