Figo- a comfortable practical hatch

 

Exterior Front end looks great. overall styling is not very aggressive, but looks good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious interiors. no power window option on the rear even on top end models. front seats a bit narrow for well built persons. good visibility for driving. good driving position. Aircon works well, but fan noisy at high speeds.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Diesel engine is torquey above 1800 rpm. Turbo lag-decent power on most roads except on stop and go traffic in steep inclines, when the engine can stall easily if not reved to bring RPM higher. some calculated gear shifts and use of clutch might become necessary in such situations especially on ghat roads to hill stations. Reasonably good fuel economy ranging from 15-19km/l. Very good precise gear shift. clutch could  have been lighter.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent handling at all speeds. steering is bit on the heavy side at low speeds and parking.

Final Words A GOOD ALL ROUND SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HATCH. HAVING DRIVEN MORE THAN 32000KM, I ENJOY DRIVING IT.

Areas of improvement LOW GROUND CLEARANCE. NVH-INSULATION CAN BE IMPROVED, POWER WINDOWS ON REAR AND DRIVING LAMPS, TILTABLE STEERING SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN TITANIUM MODELS.
