Ford Freestyle User Reviews

Done 3000 km in my new ford freestyle. It is an excellent value for money car. It is just like a car but is useful like an SUV. The handling and driving dynamics are excellent. You can drive it anyway you want. Coming to features, freestyle is the only car which is feature-rich in this price range. Suspension is not so stiff but not so soft. It will absorb all the potholes while giving a dynamic driving experience. Pros : 1. Nice and powerful 3 cylinder engine, which is good in power and FE. 2. Handling and driving dynamics 3. Features like 6 airbags, ESP, Auto HL, Rain sensing wipers, Auto AC, Touch screen with android auto and apple car play, voice command, etc... 4. Ground clearance and off road ability 5. Suspension 6. After Sale Service Cons : 1. Boot space is less compared to the competitions. But it is not an issue for me 2. Interior colour is full black and reading lamp is not there in rear side. So it is difficult to find things inside at night. 3. The power of headlamp is just ok and not so bright 4. Poor quality of rear parcel tray. 5. Spare wheel is of 14 inch steel which is having a speed rating of 80 kmh. Even in steel they might have given 15 inch wheel instead of 14. Final words A close competitor for freestyle is elite i20. But for this much features u have to give 1 lacs more for i20. More over the petrol engine in i20 is feeble even though it is a refined and smooth 4 cylinder motor. If you prefer fit and finish over drivability and you have 1 lac more to spend then go for i20. Otherwise go for freeatyle.

Excellent about safety and premium features. But lacks in some things like, No hand grabber and bottle holder for rear seat. No hand rests for both front and rear seats. No projector headlamps and LED DRLs. No automatic transmission available.

I have driven 8000kms TT plus Petrol and have been playing with it for last 8 months. Few things I have observed. Car handling is just mind boggling. Build Quality is strong when you hop in and close the door, you will hear that thud. Pickup and Torque till you hit 120kms/hr is probably the best in this segment except Tata Tiago JTP if I am not wrong. (Let's not consider PoloGT in that scenario as it costs more than 2lakhs). Anyway freestyle starts shrinking when I touch 130 kms/hr plus. In city traffics, it actually helps you with that pickup and handling combination. Suspension which I like the most about my car, it is like when you put your finger inside cream and move around. It is really smooth. I experienced with other cars in this segment and did not find any better one. Safety features are also pretty strong as I have got 6 air bags, roll over protection. Others features are also really good, automatic headlamps, rain sensing wipers, tcs. Ground clearance is something brilliant. Infotainment is nice, get synched with Android and gets the job done pretty well. Legs' space is a plus. Driver gets a solid view of a road. Lights? Dear Ford, please start putting DRL LEDs for God's sake. In that case, we are pretty behind. Mileage? I live in a market area and need to take gullies, it gives me 9km/ltr over there and when I hit the main roads inside City, it gives me 10. Anyway will not cry over mileage as the highest selling car in this segment weighs 170-180kgs less than Freestyle. Yes, heavy is the sign of reliability. I mostly drive at the pick hours. Let's talk about some bad things. Boot space is pretty low and on top of that there is no 60-40 ratio in rear seats. Rear Seat comfort is horrible. Anyway what is the point of having good seat comfort with poor suspensions when the streets are filled potholes and manholes? Think! Let's not talk about Look and colour as tastes differ. I would love to have an inbuilt armrest. Need not to worry about spare parts prices as in this segment it is high for all cars for all middle-class people and Freestyle is slightly cheaper among them. Let the insurance take care of them. Buy 0D. Tyres, I have got GoodYear and would have been happier if it was Michellin or Bridgestone. Last but not the least when you are planning to buy a car, the first thing should be on your mind is engine and Ford has a very strong reputation for that, indeed.

Buying the car was very comfortable as ford has showrooms everywhere and have good staff too riding experience is way too good was disappointed by the average but rest all is very good and I'm satisfied with the model

I have bought this car on 20th Jan 2019 and already driven more than 13,000/- km and loved every drive . Except few issues. Let's talk in detail I drive this car on daily basis for my office up down and go to outstation trip once every quarter . Exterior Looks - I personally live it's muscular look specially from back profile , front profile still look like hatchback . Interior - I have titanium which has dual tone dashboard which looks permium ,but of love sporty interior then you should go for trend varient which has black interior. Comfort- I have driven this car for 700 km regularly without any problem .In city as well i use this car daily for bumper to bumper traffic and not problem at all. Engine - 1.2 liter 3 cylinder engine is very fun to drive and inspite of having 3 cylinder you will not feel vibration or noise inside the cabin . Tyre - Tyre is very Chucky and have very good grip on roads . However you will hear the tyre noise on highway's Safety - Car comes with lots of safety features like airbags , child locks, anti theft , TCS etc ( See detail information "@Travel with Ford " on YouTube) Overall - If you are looking for good city and highway car with lot of safety features then go for this car without have second thoughts Negative - There are few issues and negative of this car .

Very nice car. In this budget, no other company providing this many features. Their services are also superb. When we are riding car we feel very comfortable. We will enjoy the inbuilt audio system like home theater. Six air bags given for this model for our security.

Bahut shandar gadi h lekin pichli seat me jyada height ke log nhi baith sakte h toyota g jaise hybrid hoti to shayad ye sabse pasandida car hoti lamp me bhi thoda sudhar karna chahiye baki drive bahut badhiya h

Ford Freestyle is probably the Fords best yet in India within Price Bracket of 15 Lac and whichever market it launched globally...yes it is better than Ford Ecosport and one of the most value for Money car. People have this myth about Ford's Maintenance Cost and lack of Service availability but Trust me....with this Car you feel secure in more than many ways:- Pros 1. Robust Build Quality way better than Hyundai, Suzuki, Honda matches German rivals like Volkswagon & Volvo...thumping sound of Doors assures you of safety...Heavily built with minimal blind spot 2. Weight of 1062-1080...Car remains well planted even at High Speeds 3. Major Safety Features of Bigger SUV's like 4 Airbags including Curtain, ABS, EBD, ARP (not even available in Eco-sport), Hill Assist, Traction Control, Cruise Control, Alloy Wheels, Negligible / No Body Roll though misses out on 4*4....no brand offers it below 25 Lac....Safety Guaranteed 4. Superb Power to Gear Ratio....resulting in Power Delivery at 1200-1400 RPM...1.5 Ltr Diesel is performance machine and Petrol is peppy too 5. Best in Quality & Use of Plastic Materials in Interiors...Cushioned Seats...Good Leg Space & ample Headroom for 6 feet Tall 6. Despite being a Heavy Vehicle....no compromise in Mileage....City 18-20 & Highway 27-32 (Diesel)....City 13-14 & Highway 16 - 19 (Petrol) 7. Car remains planted and stays in control even at 160 kmph speed which is phenomenal 8. Low Cost of Maintainence....5000/ Per Year on Higher Side....due to Made in India parts now 9. Good Ground Clearance...190 MM 10. Superb Infotainment System with Apple Car Play, Android Auto, Reverse Parking Camera and Sensors. Keyless Entry, Sync 3 connectivity 11. Well Priced across Models...even base variants comes with 2 Airbags as Standard 12. Diesel only for those whos Monthly Running is 1500km and want power from their machine....Driver's Car 13. Petrol Engine is also peppy and affordable too 14. Practical Features with ample storage options 15. 40 Litres Tank Capacity....with Diesel its a non-stop wagon on long trips Cons 1. Color Tone of Interior makes it Dark....its personal opinion 2. Smaller & Narrow Tyres...185/60R15 Tyres....its should 205-215 16 Inch Tyres...for better Road Grip 3. Projector / LED Headlamps / DRL's missing 4. Sun-roof....though in Indian weather....there is no need of Sun-Roof 5. Re-sale Value of Ford....though it would still stand tall even after 15 years...so can be forgiven 6. No Rear AC Vents....though with 1.5 Ton Air Conditioning...u don't feel its a miss 7. Misses out on AMT / CVT / DSG Box....though Automatic compromises on Mileage & Power when its needed

I bought my ford freestyle in July 2018,when it newly launched, with my friend's advice. Very comfortable and true companion with my ride. Elegant and good looking with efficient fuel consumption, city mileage achieve as 18 kmpl. Finest service center available with low maintenance cost.
