On Wednesday Ford has revealed new hatchback for Indian customers, Figo. It is a brand-new nameplate which comes from Italian “cool”. In fact, Figo is a close sibling to the European Fiesta.
The hatchback has all-aluminum 1.2-liter gasoline engine which is a derivative of 1.4 Sigma engine for Fiesta. It outputs between 70 and 75 horsepower. The car will be offered with diesel motor too: 1.4-liter Duratorq with 68 hp.
The front of the hatchback is ordinary for this kind of Ford vehicles: it has slim upper grille and large inverted lower grille. Figo has smaller headlights than Fiesta, but they still have a stretched back look. In the rear it is equipped with high vertical taillights, a rear quarter glass, and a “smooth, chunky” bumper.
The interior trim is going to be absolutely new: it is combining class-leading aesthetics and functionality. The representatives of the company say that Figo interior is going to become the standard for all new small hatchbacks.
