New Ford Figo | First Drive Review | Motown India

A few years ago, Ford gave us a small hatch back based on the Fiesta Classic platform and I thought it was brilliant. Now there is a new Mr. Cool. Ford has launched an all new Figo hatchback in India. Designers at Ford need to be applauded for the job they did with the styling of the car. The interior has been changed completely from the old one as well.
Just like the Aspire, the Figo aslo gets the same powertrain family. A 1.2 litre petrol engine, a 1.5 litre diesel both mated to 5 speed manual gear boxes and a 1.5 litre petrol engine with a dual clutch automatic transmission. For this drive, we drove the 1.5 litre petrol automatic and the 1.5 litre diesel powered cars. The 1.5 litre 4 cylinder turbo charged engine produces 110bhp and 136Nm of torque. Mated to the 6-speed DCT gearbox the engine is extremely smooth and so are the gear changes.
The new 1.5L TDCI engine is a peach. With almost a 100bhp at its disposal and 215Nm of torque, this engine inches this little ford into semi hot hatch territory, just 4bhp less than the Polo GT TDI and it does one better by being a full lakh cheaper than the German.
