Ford Freestyle User Reviews

I bought freestyle trend variant last month n driving it in Himachal Pradesh n Chandigarh my first month reviews are:- First bad n then good about car:-

Bad: Poor Mileage in petrol, uncomfortable steering wheel while driving in Hills though good at planes. Not peppy at all. Yes powerful but very late pickup. Have some braking problem while driving downside in hills, may be in my car only.

Good: Super sporty feel in car, best infotainment system in this segment, space no issue at all, even for rear seats it is very good. Superb ground clearance, good suspension but still stay cautious while driving in rough roads. So, if Mileage is big concern for u then don't buy this car. Otherwise no other car at present is even near to this car.

First I wonder y this car sales figure is very poor. Besides the best features, it is also a well-built car. U feel the confidence when u drive it. I own titanium petrol. My choices were i10 Nios, Ignis, Nexon. But I exclude all after I saw this car. Very good safety features at this budget. I am really happy and I definitely recommend others to buy this car. I got 15.9 km/litre. I just drive 200 km so far. I know definitely it will improve. Thank u.

Got a good deal from dealer end so bought Top Variant due to its outstanding safety pack who is still best in it's class in 2021. Ride and handling that one can experience in costly cars if left this unique one. According to looks it's a sporty and muscular nature car with classical stance which I really was impressed. Performance is the only factor that one can choose of this great hardworking car on its siblings. On first service I availed pick and drop facility with 0 rs. Bill and first major service is yet to come but received the provisional assured bill which will not cross 3.5 k as per Ford's promise which feels lucky to have their Car. When it comes to the pro only I can say that most VFM car with all active and passive safety features available in indian market. Cons is negligible i.e dashboard switches are not easily richable as they demands our concentration to operate them while driving which makes us uncomfortable. Front looks need change with some additional features like projector headlamps and DRLs etc.

I own this car in feb 2020 and till today my love is increasing everyday for this car. Be its safety features like TCS, anti rollover prevention , ESP or riding quality or brakes ..it is best in its price range. The only issue which i face is sometimes its steering goes slighty left. And its rear look is not so appealing . Rest it is beast.

Very good car, fun to drive like an SUV. Feels better than Maruti or Hyundai Cars. The handling is super. A powerful car feel and low maintenance. The service center provides excellent service.

Exterior Looks awesome! Nice design and it looks like a big car when you see it in person.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nicely done with all required features while you driving car. seat comfort is great while doing long highway trips. Infotainment system is great and having all the features I use in my another car (Ciaz Top Model).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Super smooth ride with great power, transmission is soft too. Engine sounds super cool when you rev it hard. Fuel economy is bit less, but okay!

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is super precise, Ride quality is great even while driving off road. Suspension setup is great, you can't feel small pot holes and bumps on road. Breaks are so much powerful and it stops very stable even if you don't hold steering wheel.

Final Words Best value for money car, No comparisions in price braket with this much features. If you are planning to buy mid size car for city driving or for daily commute then this is the best car.

Design, Interior, Infotainment system, Cabin Space, Handling and Ride comfortFuel Economy a bit

Exterior Very good look, exteriors are very good. Very good ground cleaence. So you can go to any tough road for a ride.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Storage Space is not well managed. No space for keeping a second mobile. They could provide a storage space above glove box. Front seats are not well fitted to get the front view. Bottle storages are not enough to keep a standard bottle. Your phone memory can't be used in usb port. Map is not fully updated. Steering wheel feels more slippery.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine perfomance is good. Gear shiting is smooth.But fuel economy is very poor. Though company is saying 19 kml, it should get minimum 15kml.But Avg 10kml is getting.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good and handling also good

Final Words If you are not concerned on fuel economy, it is a good choice.

Areas of improvement Milege should be improved. Storage space should be well organized. Front seat should be more adjused. Give little more rear head room.

Very good look,Ride comfort,PowerStorege space would have been planned more wisely.Poor Milage.

Exterior Could have provided latest head lamps like LED DRLS.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Adjustable rear seat head rest should have been given.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very smooth and fuel economy could have increased. But I could understand bcoz of heavy built quality fuel is average.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent on off roads and for hilly region. Went for a trip it was excellent.

Final Words Awesome car on this price range. Other brand cars with same features will be atleast 1.5 lakhs more.

Areas of improvement Better milage. New headlamp features and spare tyre should have been provided of same size. It is smaller than alloy tyres and its not tubless(spare). Its an big issue.

Ford India has launched another affordable product to hit the jackpot in terms of sales. Ford Freestyle is more than an inflated bodysuit, rather it perfectly combines form and function. Honestly, if you look back past 4-5 years, many carmakers have tried their luck in this cross-hatch category, but without much success. Freestyle is a lot more different than Polo Cross and Etios Cross but comes shoulder to shoulder with Hyundai i20 Active and Honda WR-V. There is a lot of genuine bits to talk about including company's new 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine and new 5-speed manual transmission. Among the most interesting aspects of this car, Freestyle is the lightest (about 200 kg) when we compare it to Honda WR-V and Hyundai i20 Active. It's also the most powerful in the lot when we compare the diesel engine and also the most fuel efficient when we compare the petrol engines. And the most vital aspect of this car that has knocked the breath out of its rivals is the aggressive pricing. Where prices of Hyundai i20 Active starts at Rs. 7.0 lakh and goes up to 10.01 lakh, Honda WR-V falls in the range of Rs. 7.78 - 10.0 Lakh, much higher than the Rs. 5.09 - 7.89 Lakh range of Ford Freestyle. Isn't it an amazing feat? At this price, you are getting a solid build quality, nice safety cover, powerful and fuel-efficient engine as well as no compromise on style and comfort. In my opinion, Ford has done a wonderful job and this car would rock the sales chart.

Good for off roads. Hill Hold control is very good option. Engine performance & safe is very good.LED DRS should have been provided. No back seat adjustable headrest. Fuel might have been better.

Car looks great #CUV# good for every angels My ride 2000km city fuel economy 10 KmL And highway 15 - 16 km.L petrol Good performance 1.2 petrol power engine Bad fule economy 10 city . 14- 16 highway. 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.
