New Ford Figo Hatchback Launched in India At Rs 4.29 Lakhs
Ford India finally
launched the long awaited and all-new Figo. Built on the sporty and
sophisticated personality of the original, the new Ford Figo raises the bar in
the country’s fast-growing compact car segment with its clever value-for-money
proposition and host of segment best and first features.
Nigel Harris, president
and managing director, Ford India described the car as, “An outstanding value
for money package, the new Figo is cleverly built to appeal to the Indian
consumers who don’t want to compromise on looks, practicality, safety,
cutting-edge technology and above all, exceptional fuel efficiency.”
Under the Hood:
The car will be available
in 6 trims – Base, Ambiente, Trend, Trend+, Titanium and Titanium+ -- and the
car comes with a new and improved 1.2-liter Ti-VCT petrol engine, delivering a
peak power of 88 PS and fuel economy of 18.16* Km/L. The 1.5-liter TDCi diesel
engine, offers a peak power of 100 PS and a claimed fuel economy of 25.83*
Km/L. Both these engines are paired to a responsive five-speed manual
transmission.
The Figo also comes
with a six speed PowerShift (dual Clutch) Automatic Transmission paired with a 1.5L
TiVCT petrol engine, offering a peak power of 112 PS and a claimed fuel economy
of 17 Km/L. The advanced dual-clutch system is backed by a 10-year or 100,000
km warranty.
The Figo Retains Ford’s
fun-to-drive experience with precise, agile and responsive steering, and stable
and predictable handling. This performance is made possible by Electronic Power
Assisted Steering (EPAS), which provides lighter steering effort at low speeds
– for parking and in-city maneuvering – and heavier, more precise feel at high
speeds for greater stability and confidence on highways.
Safety is key:
Ford claims to have
designed the all-new Figo from ground up with safety as one of its key
differentiators. It features Ford’s renowned robust passenger cage created from
high-strength steel to protect occupants in the event of an unfortunate
collision.
Driver side airbag are
standard across the entire range and from second variant onwards, the new Figo
will offer standard dual front airbags across the entire lineup. The all-new
Figo is also the only car in its segment to offer up to six airbags, including
side and curtain airbags.
The all-new Figo
ensures that help is never far in an unfortunate event of a serious collision.
It offers Ford’s well-known Emergency Assistance feature that uses SYNC and a
Bluetooth-paired phone to call emergency responders automatically and provide
information about your vehicle and location.
Smart Tech:
The MyFord Dock, a
first-in-class feature, offers drivers a unique solution for storing, mounting
and charging mobile phones, MP3 players and satellite navigation systems, and
for integrating these devices into the car’s entertainment system.
Figo also comes with
option to equip it with the SYNC with Ford AppLink, Ford’s advanced in-car
connectivity system. This allows drivers to control their phone, entertainment
and apps hands-free using simple voice commands. In India, AppLink allows
drivers to access information about nearby attractions and food destinations
with Explore by MapMyIndia, and stay updated with the latest cricket scores and
upcoming fixtures with ESPN Cricinfo.
Addressing the need to
encourage responsible driving, the all-new Figo features Ford MyKey technology
that allows owners to program car’s keys with restricted driving modes such as
increasing seat belt use, limiting vehicle top speeds and regulating audio
volume.
Style on the outside:
Up front, Ford’s
signature bold trapezoidal grille and elongated headlamps grab attention while
a well-proportioned tailgate and an accentuated character line running through
to the tail lamp cluster enhance overall width.
A bold shoulder on both
sides perfectly merges with the taillamps, giving the all-new Figo sense of
motion even when stationary.
The car also boasts of
the best-in-class wheelbase of 2,491 mm, thanks to which, it offers outstanding
legroom, knee-room and shoulder-room. The Figo also comes with a class leading
Ground Clearance of 174mm.
Style on the inside:
The all-new Figo comes
with a lot of storage space through the judicious use of a longer floor console,
offering 20 unique storage spaces specially designed to enhance convenience
inside the cabin. It also features fold-flat rear seats to create more room to
ensure Figo owners don’t leave anything behind.
The well-equipped cabin
is quiet and pays greater attention to comfort with its powerful automatic
climate control system.
The all-new Figo is
available in 7 colours - Ruby Red, Sparkling Gold, Oxford White, Tuxedo Black,
Deep Impact Blue, Ingot Silver and Smoke Grey.
