Ford Figo Sedan 2015 expected launch in India by NOV 2014

Ford India presented the all-new Ford Figo Concept sedan at the 2014 Delhi Motor Show, which in-turn is based on the Ford Ka Concept that was also seen at the same automotive convention in February 2014. The global debut of this sub-4-metre sedan officially marks Ford’s entry into the compact sedan segment. The new sedan will be manufactured at the company’s upcoming facility in Sanand in Gujarat.
 Design wise, the Figo Concept sedan carries the company’s newest global design philosophy with its trapezoidal grille, blacked out headlamps and bold styling elements, which seems to mimic the front fascia of the Aston Martin.

The model also features electrically adjustable ORVMs, which are flexible and don’t break if bumped by another car or a motorcyclist.  On the inside, expect the Figo sedan to come with standard features such as satellite navigation, an updated infotainment system and the new SYNC technology. Ford claims that its upcoming Figo sedan will also boast of few segment-first safety features and class leading interior space. 

The Figo Concept sedan when pushed down the production line is expected to be powered by the same set engines that currently serve the EcoSport SUV - a 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel powerplant. The engines will come mated to a 5-Speed manual gearbox as well as a 5-Speed automatic transmission. 

Once launched in India, the Figo sedan will replace the current Ford Classic and will compete with the likes of Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire, Honda Amaze, Hyundai Xcent and the upcoming Tata Zest.
