Ford Figo is the new marvel from the factory of Ford Motors
in India. For a first time the hatchback from ford has sure created enough
waves across the auto circles. It has already bagged the ‘Car of the year
2010’,’Premium Hatchback award’ and ‘Deciding Car of the Gathering Categories’.
In a short span it has also breached the magical sales figure of 100 thousand
mark. The car is available in both the petrol and diesel version and comes in
seven shades ranging from the Colorado Red, Chill, Diamond White, Moon Dust Silver,
Panther Black, and Sea Grey to Squeeze. The prices start from Rs.3,49,900 and
goes up to Rs. 5,29,900. It is also a strong contender in terms of the mileage
delivering up to 14-18 kmpl (City-Highway). This deadly combo can surely ruffle
a few feathers in the rival camps like the Hyundai i10, Maruti Swift and the
Skoda Fabia.Exteriors: The looks have the native pasta land effect aka
the Italian touch. The front flat body too has the Italian style stamped on it
and it gives a refreshingly new look. The design is not only high on style but
also intelligence with an appeal that will suit both the young and old alike.
The headlights are also not left behind in the style arena and the front grille
further enhance the looks of the car with the signature of the company sure to
steal a few beats of your heart. The exteriors of the car are simply awesome
extending right up to impressive bumpers.



The Ford Figo is probably the giant in the B-segment market
of India. The Maruti Swift falls short when compared to the length and also has
a longer wheelbase than the fusion. The inside is not top notch, but the rear
is decent with good comfortable seats. With regard to the leg space for the
front occupants Ford has put it to good use.



Interior: The interior does not quite live up to the
expectations but still manages to hold on its comfort level. The five seater
luggage will never make you compromise with a spacious room inside. The dash
board is spacey with a glove box. The seats and the toned beige are the main features
of the inside. Currently they come in Coral IP and an Ebony black theme. Then
there is the usual Audio system, AC, cup holders and seat belts etc. Surely the
inside of the car has a lot to catch up in comparison with its counterparts
like the Chevrolet Beat.



Engine and safety features: 
The engine is available in both diesel and petrol variants. The high
tech versions are bolstered with ABS, Intelligent central locking, engine
immobilizer, seat belts, deceleration warning system and warning lights. The
engines are available in 1.2 L petrol 1.4 L capacity. The Duratec petrol engine
with SEFI technology delivers 70 bhp at 6,250 rpm with a torque of 102 Nm at
4000 rpm. The 1.4L CRDi diesel engine delivers 68 bhp at 4,000 rpm and a torque
of 160 Nm at 2000 rpm. They power a whooping 100 kmpl in just 8 seconds.
