Ford Figo launch on 23rd September

Ford is due to launch the Figo hatchback on the 23^rd of September. This will be the company’s new-generation hatchback that will be powered by a 1.2-litre Ti-VCT petrol and a 1.5-litre DV5 diesel engine. This is based on the same Figo Aspire platform and it will be manufactured in Ford’s Gujarat plant.

The Ford Figo will be replacing the currently sold generation of the Figo, and this will be replaced by a more powerful, fuel-efficient and feature-loaded version.

Ford Figo will be priced between INR 4.5 lakhs to INR 7 lakhs (on-road) and it will get features like multiple airbags, steering mounted audio controls, reverse parking sensors, speed warning etc, which will be new and weren’t there on the Figo previously. The Figo will have similar interiors like the Figo Aspire.

The Figo will be coming with 1.

2-litre Ti-VCT petrol engine that will be producing 80bhp of power and will come mated to a five-speed manual transmission. For the diesel, there will be a 1.5-litre engine that will be producing 100bhp of power and 215Nm of peak torque. This will make it the most powerful hatchback in its segment, if Ford retains the same power rating for the hatchback as well. The Figo hatchback now gets a new chassis and this will be manufactured in the company’s new Sanand plant.
