Prior to the Auto Expo 2014, which starts on 7 feb 2014, Ford India has roped in its Figo compact sedan concept; one of the many surprises expected at the Auto Expo 2014. The international launch of this sub-four-metre car declares Ford India’s entry into the compact sedan segment which has very recently emerged as a bastion to fight for.
As per Ford's new design campaign, the Figo based concept sedan gets a trapezoidal grill, black encased headlamps and strong styling components. Based the same B2E stage as the Ford Ecosport, the production variant of this saloon concept will likely supplant the Ford Fiesta Classic in early 2015. The new Figo could be powered by Ford's 1.2-litre petrol motor, its 1.5-litre "Sigma" petrol or the 1.0-litre Ecoboost turbo-petrol, and additionally the 1.5-litre Dv5 turbo-diesel motor. There is additionally a plausibility that a 80bhp, 999cc petrol motor, liable to be inferred from the 1.0-litre Ecoboost however without the turbo, could also be roped into this new smaller saloon car’s bonnet.
It is likely that Ford will start the sedan version of this vehicle before the hatchback, which thusly will finally replace old the Ford Figo.
"In design, connectivity and safety, the features in the Figo concept are at the forefront of smart technology" said Kumar Galhotra, VP, engineering, global product development, Ford.
