Ford Figo Diesel

Exterior Looks are good. Ford hase given good refinement to its new hatchback. The styling of new model wil last for at least nest four yaers. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) In this segment figo is the most spacious car in terms of both cabin space, boot space. As far as features are concerned ford should have offered ABS version in each category just like maruti did. And rear parking sensor also should have been added.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is the area where figo outsmarts most of the hatchback available in india. Swift, Grand i10 are nowhere near to this hatchback even it has potential to compete with Polo and i 20. Ford has put more than enough power under its bonnet. 100 bhp engine gives immense power and car gets through 150 kmph without any hiccups or any extra vibration in engine or steering. Though engine is little bit noisy but being a powerful diesel engine it's accaeptable.

So far I have driven the car 800 Kms on highways and in city both and it is giving the mileage of 19 km/liter. Gearbox is as also smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Ford has not compromised with its ride quality. Car has a good balance even at 150km/h and is a treat to ride in city also because of smooth clutch and gearbox.

Final Words A perfect car to buy in this segment which scores in all parameter whether its ride quality, handling, built quality, looks, mileage. only concern point is maintanance only which i will come to know after driving it for few years.

Areas of improvement Engine is a little bit noisy and plastice quality used inside cabin is just ok and shoulkd be improved. But this issue hardly matters in this segment as its a budget car not a super luxury Merc or BMW. When compared with its rivals like swift and grand i10 far better than both.
