Ford Freestyle User Reviews

Exterior Car looks very nice from all angels. There are a host of changes that give the Freestyle that unique, rugged persona it needs. This includes the tough-looking cladding, the faux matte-silver bash plates, and the stickering that runs along the side. It’s got a set of roof rails too, and here’s a pleasant.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Titanium+ variant that features Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Ford’s SYNC 3 tech. The redesigned dash looks significantly more modern

here’s an added USB port next to the 12V socket, and that tiny shelf on the dash continues to be as useful as ever.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The naturally aspirated, 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder engine might seem puny on the brochure. But, it’s got quite a lot of oomph. With 96PS of power and 120Nm of torque, the Freestyle is setting new benchmarks in its segment.

Ride Quality & Handling There are no spikes in the power delivery, just one consistent tug towards the 6800rpm redline. it sounds a bit naughty too. Once up at triple-digit speeds, the Freestyle has no problems maintaining the pace. In fifth, you can drop down to under 40kmph and then pull back up to highway speeds without a hiccup. And that tells us just how versatile the motor is.

Final Words I found it a perfect car after a lot of reasearch. I was looking for a car with ample of features, good milege, powerful engine and strong body and found all these in Freestyle.

Areas of improvement NA.

Strong Body, Powerful engine, High Ground clearanceNA

I was searching for nice looking feature enriched car. Found this car while checking all available options in market in my budget. While test drive, found engine is smooth and generates more power compare to all other cars I tried.

It is loaded with high end features (ABS, ESP, Taction control, Hill ride control, rain sensing wipers) that is rarely available in any car. It is far ahead in features and technology compare to other cars in this segment. 190 mm ground clearance is very helpful since roads in my area are full of speed beakers and path holes.

Though I have not bought this excellent vehicle as i am not planning to change existing one (only 2 years old), I just recommend this excellent peace of work to everyone who is desirous to buy a new vehicle.  it is an excellent vehicle at this range, far better than Swift, Grant i10, Baleno, and Elite i20. The engine response, manoveuoring, handling, build quality are far better and world class. Enough spacious for city and small family, can be used in city and on highway with equal ease, parking in city is not at a problem considering compact design. You press the peddle and see the response of engine, you will be just amazed to notice. Their upgrade in cabin is just amazing, touch screen console is highly responsive and crisp, music system is manageable. The best part is that they are providing ABS and dual AIRBAGS as standard which is highly appreciating considering safety as a prime focus.

One should must try this car before buying any other car.

Far better than competition for Engine, Space, Drive-ability, Ground Clearance and many moreNothing

Overall car is awesome, ride quality is best in class no other car brand has this amazing ride and handling. I drive it regularly 100 to 140 km with full of fun The features are very usefull touchscreen and reverse camera just wow reverse camera is very accurate. With this price segment no any other car company gives us this type of CUV .. Just amazing and i am very happy to bought this.

I bought this car a week before and trust me this car is superior in this segment.its 1.2 litre petrol engine produces power of 96ps which is highest among its rivals.in this seg. Only ford'freestyle provides some unique features like hill assist,traction control & ARP.i am totally impressed with its punchy and peppy engine.and ofcourse ford's build quality is slight on higher side than others.

Exterior Solid Build quality. Front looks Amazing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice interior. Enriched with all latest features. Enough leg space. Head space is more than expectation.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 95 BHP Powerful engine. Descent fuel economy. Smooth gear box. The suspension also makes for a very confident feel when driving enthusiastically, irrespective of whether you're on smooth asphalt or non-existent roads. The wider track benefits handling as well by adding to the planted feel. And in typical Ford tradition the Freestyle's steering is very communicative which adds to the driving experience.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good grip on road. You will feel energetic due to powerful engine and ease in handling. Perfect for city as well as highway. On the safety front the Freestyle gets six airbags. Traction control, ABS and EBD are on offer as well

Final Words Perfect car in this segment. Compared all the cars in this budget and found this one the best in class. Good for young people who want to enjoy perfect riding.

Areas of improvement However boot space is 257 liter which is descent but could have been bigger. However it is more than enough to carry monthly grocery items.

Good Build Quality. 190 mm Ground Clearance. Powerful Engine. Enrich Features. 6 Airbags.Boot Space could have been better.

This car is very good perfomance ,exterior so good but projector headlamps and DRL provided as soon as possible, built quality is the best in segment, value for money, nice ground clearance , free maintenance ,no doubt service centre is most honest ,over all this car most family car with safety . My opinion ,if Projector headlamps and DRL provided I will purchase immediately only this Car also.

I love my Freestyle. I took a BS4 Titanium Plus 1.5 TDCI a month back. I think I made a smart decision. The car comes loaded with so many safety and convenience features. Some of the Pro's 1) 6.5" Touch Screen Infotainment System with Sync 3 : It comes with Android Auto and Apple Car Play. It is by far the best system within 10 -15 Lakhs bracket. 2) Ride Comfort : The ride is very smooth. It absorbs all the potholes without any issues. 3) Safety Features : ABS + EBD + TCS + HLA + ESP + 6 Airbags + Emergency Assist + Electronic IRVM. Good luck finding such features within 10 lakhs range. Don't even bother. You won't find it. 4) Build Quality : Close the door and you will find the reassuring thud that is symbol of Ford Build Quality. 5) Powerful Engine : 1.5 Liter Diesel Engine makes 100 bhp power. You will have a lot of fun driving on highway. 6) Fuel Economy : If you know how to drive properly, you can get 25 kmpl easily. Having said that, people on YouTube go for Fuel economy marathon and pull out more than 35 kmpl mileage on this bad boy. 7) Stereo System : Freestyle and Tigor have almost same quality stereo system. So yeah, you can go boom boom on highways. 8) Miscellaneous Features : 1 twelve volts output and 2 USB and totally 9 cup holders. 9) Air conditioning : The air conditioning system is very powerful and cools the cabin in seconds. 10) Rear View Camera with Sensors : The Camera quality is excellent and comes with fixed guidelines, and back sensor indicators. 11) Functioning Roof Rails : These are not only fancy looking roof rails. You can load them up-to 50 Kgs. 12) Automatic Headlamps 13) Speed sensing door locks 14) Rain sensing wipers 15) Rear defogger and wiper with spray 16) 190 mm Ground clearance : This is the best feature of this hatchback. 17) Back seat comfort : Unlike other hatchbacks in market, 3 people can easily sit in the back. Con's By the way I am nitpicking here. The Pro's of this car far far outweigh the con's. It may be possible that I am expecting too much from a 10 Lakhs car. 1) No dead pedal for your foot. 2) No Projector Headlamps. 3) No LED DRLs. 4) No grab handles on the sides. 5) No leather upholstery. Even if you want to put it on yourself, you will have to compromise on 2 side bolster airbags. 6) No middle armrest for front driver 7) No middle armrest with cup-holders for rear passengers 8) No door side bottle holders for rear passengers 9) No headrest for middle passenger in the rear 10) No 3 point seat belt for middle passenger in the rear 11) No rear AC vents 12) No 60 : 40 split for your luggage. 12) Small boot for your luggage 13) No Child seat anchor points 14) No adaptive guidelines on rear view camera 15) No Automatic Transmission Option 16) A little hard and deep clutch 17) No tilt and telescopic steering Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I am not sure if my review completely helps anyone anymore, unless someone is buying a used car. I saw that some of the premium features of this car like Sync 3 system was removed from BS6 lineup. Still it is the best hatchback in Indian market right now within 9 lakhs bracket.

I know title is a bold claim , But hear me out. Ford freestyle might not be master of anything but certainly is Jack of all trades. Firstly ford dealerships are highly professional and it is always a pleasure to visit. I sometimes look forward to visit service station just to meet other ford owners and share experiences. My buying experience was smooth. I went in with Figo base model in mind and upped my budget to get FS and I don't regret that for a bit. Now coming to FS. If you narrow down what you need from a car things which are most essential. It comes down to 5 key things. 1) Engine performance 2) Ride and handling 3) Safety 4) Comfort and Looks 5) Efficiency and maintenance And FS scores solid 4.5 to 5 in all aspects. If you pick any other car in this price range you would be compromising in one of these aspects. Swift/ baleno safety everyone knows. Altroz/i20/magnite/kiger engine performance not up to mark (excluding turbo which is expensive side). Yeah you don't get fancy features. But ask yourself honestly how practical are those ? You get all essentials along with TCS, ARP and ESP which are safety features you get in higher segment cars and if you increase budget by 35k more you get 6 air bags. It is really sad to see Free Style do such low sales number. Ford should improve marketing and minimize delays in delivering. I had to wait for a month. I am sure many people won't like that. Also we need automatic variant. People in city would definitely prefer dct or Torque converter unit. In rural areas ford presence is anyways less. Feels like ford missed a trick here.
