The vehicle was unveiled in New Delhi in September 2009.The small car had a huge responsibility of reviving the fortune of Ford India, which it did very well.[2][3]
The Ford Figo is available in both petrol and diesel versions, all with five speed manual transmissions and power steering as standard. The diesel version of Ford Figo is equipped with the same engine which is currently powering the Ford Ikon and Ford Fiesta.
On the other hand, petrol version of Ford Figo is equipped with the new 1.2L, petrol engine which delivers 71 PS of power at 6250 rpm with 102 Nm of maximum torque at 4000 rpm. The car accelerates from 0-100kmph under 15 seconds and has a top speed of 164 kmph. Here are the quick details of the Ford Figo engine:
The petrol version is the all new 1.2 liter, SEFI petrol engine with five speed manual transmission. The petrol variant gives a mileage of around 12.5 kmpl mileage in the city while on the highway it offers mileage around 15.5 kmpl. The engine also meets with BS-IV (Bharat Stage - IV) emission norms. Diesel variants of the Figo are powered by Ford’s 1.4 liter Duratorq diesel engine. This engine also currently powers Ford Ikon and Ford Fiesta. This engine too, satisfies the BS-IV emission norms. It offers a mileage of around 16 kmpl in the city while on the highway it delivers a mileage of 19 kmpl. The Figo also offers the 'Distance to Empty' feature, informing how many km one can go with the available petrol/diesel in the tank.
The front or the nose of the figo is the most attractive part of the car.Its inspired by the kinetic theme seen on new gen ford cars. The slim grille and huge anvil-like lower grille are typical Kinetic Design elements, which work brilliantly to offer a sporty and contemporary look. Details like the headlamps and the prominent wheel arches add to the dramatic-looking front end. styling is heavily inspired by the Europe ford fusion.so the Figo rapidly loses its modern looks and moves a generation back to betray its roots, which lie in the previous Mark V Fiesta (code: B256) from 2003. Though Ford has re-skinned most of the car by replacing almost all the body panels, the large glass area and low window line point look stylistically outdated. Its based on the last generation Ford Fiesta;so it shares most of the underpinnings with the car. hence build quality is really good and the doors shut with the big car-thud. Basically its the last generation fiesta without a boot.
Ford claims best in class interior room for the Figo.With its tall roofline the Figo, visually, draws more from the Fusion than the Fiesta, but without doubt that has enabled it to liberate lots of interior room. Headroom is excellent, so too is knee and legroom and Ford claims this is a full five-seater, not a token five-seater. Boot space is also excellent, at 284litres it is best in class.The base variant has an all-black interior with grey highlight while the mid and high level trims get a nice, rich shade of black that’s complemented rather nicely by aluminium-effect central console and air-con surrounds. In the metal (or should one say plastic) it really does look the business.Top-end variant gets a coral-hued top half of the dashboard. It looks like a mix of orange, red and brown.
